[Intro: Mark the 45 King, Ed Lover]
Who's the man (yea, yea)
Who's the man (check this out)
Who's the man (four n***as)
Who's the man (four distinct styles)
Who's the man (once more East Coast)
Who's the man (sh**)
Who's the man (y'all feeling this out there)
Who's the man (you better recognize)
[Verse 1: Ed Lover]
POOOW! Look who stepped up the back kid
Not Michael Jackson or the Ol' Dirty ba*tard
Drinkin' that Shaolin' tank slang I'm blastin'
The way a record but still kept the plastic
Hurry up, with styles that I've mastered
The La gives me pleasure so therefore I'm fastin'
OOOH NO just can't help
So heyyea heyyea heyyea ho!
Ya catch the flow, too late I let it go
If ya didn't already, act like ya know
Five knuckle sandwich from five guys named Moe
Peace, arrivederci, I'm out the door
But before I go please say I'm your choice
My AT & T but your truuuue voice
Check it out I'm on Mista Dennis
Row row my boat through the channels of Venice
ZWAYLA! Hey Poppa the saila
To cure, to cure, I'm diggin that Layla
Hathaway, can we get away sweety
Run a hundred miles as if my name was Speedy
Gon-zalez, peace out to Harlem
I'm outta here, uh
You s**ers get demolished
[Chorus]
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man (next up)
Who's the man (I believe that's me)
Who's the man (well let your S-T-Y-L-E go free)
[Verse 2: King Just]
Yo I'm the man, who made me the man that I am?
What motherf**ing part you ain't understandin'?
I slam tracks like King Kong Bundy
I wrestle alligators like Crocodile Dundee
Girls want me, but I ain't got no time for the drama
f** them b**hes, I'm the man slash comma
The horror got my back, and then Dre put me on the track
And now it's on like that
I react, like the Juice I get loose
Like one-fifty-one proof, I send a mutha off this roof
Poof presto chango, rearrange ya
Straight from the mental of the Shaolin's temple demented
45 King put the swing in the thing
And now I sound like a motherf**ing diamond ring
Swing, just like Tarzan
(Buh dah buh dah) I'm the motherf**ing man
[Chorus]
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man (next up)
Who's the man (yo I believe that's me)
Who's the man (chill and let your S-T-Y-L-E run free)
[Verse 3: Todd One]
Can I be the man, can I be the man, can I be the man?
Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can can
It's Todd ONE! Y'all know my stylo
Sittin' in the back smokin' uh, shootin C-Lo
Tryin' ta make a buck, tryin' to get some bu*t
Time to push your luck
Betta pecka women, all y'all get stuck
And I'm dippin', messin' with them b**hes
Cause you know and I know that they out to get them riches
But I be chillin' G, just like a villain B
So when I rip it I be gettin' top billin', see
All that other sh** is deaf and mute
Because you can't be the man if you ain't got loot
Gettin' money is the routine, I'm on a loot scheme
Gotta get the dough, get the dough, that's my new theme
Todd One's little n***as got flavour
If I ain't the man, then the man is my neighbour
[Chorus]
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man (next up)
Who's the man (I believe that's me)
Who's the man (well let your S-T-Y-L-E run free)
[Verse 4: Notorious B.I.G]
What's up y'all, whatcha gotta say
Big smoke chronic all day, all day
Split MC's that's lesser son(?), like George Jefferson
Wheezy tried to skeez me, couldn't please me
Florence next, threw the tech to Ralph neck
Cause he kept on beggin' for sh**
Now B.I.G. keep on wreckin' the sh**
And the chronic (cough) got a n***a (cough) rockin' sh**
Castratin' like that Bobbitt b**h
And if ya don't know, now ya know, my flow-
Ya pick like an Afro, wet like 'Sooulll Glooo!'
Toe to toe n***as can't match
Bullets'll catch up in your necks and your backs
So Little Cease, pa** the La please
Give honey a pillow, she ain't got to scuff her knees
Brooklyn k**a, no one gets iller
Who's the man? I see him every morning in the mirror
[Chorus]
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
Who's the man
