Lyrics

[Intro]
**** had the nerve to fuckin' tell me **** in the South can't spit
Bitch, I'll smack your dumb ass
Fayettenam, what up? Carolina, what up?
We gon' call this joint right here "I'm The Man"
Stupid-ass motherfuckers
New York, what up? Queens
I'm just talking all that shit and about show y'all
Shout out the whole 86 Ave, my **** D. Scott
Y'all been knowin', I told y'all **** I'm gettin' this bread and I'm goin' home
Show y'all stupid-ass motherfuckers, ****
We coming soon
Rich Mitch, what up?
Uh, dumbass ****
[Verse 1]
The heir to the throne, a South **** bred to the bone
But haters say he fled from his home
Please
Now picture that, I was eighteen with million-dollar dreams
Yeah
Moved to Jamaica, Queens like Prince Akeem
But ain't lookin' for no queen, came to get my cream
Nah, yup
City on my back, I just lift my wings, I'm fly
You **** on my dick, why lie?
Thought them **** from the South couldn't spit, voilà
I'm here, humble out of respect, not fear
So please be clear, ****, please beware
I'm a motherfuckin' monster, BS me?
Nah, my hand game like a fuckin' PSP
Now pop the champagne, money is comin' soon
My dick do the damn thing, honey, it's cummin' soon
She jerkin', bend her over, now she hurtin'
Livin' reckless got me thinkin' of death, look how she flirtin'
Well, fuck that bitch, man, a **** tryna breathe, yeah
But some of these **** be tryna dick her down and leave
Rest in peace, y'all boys livin' too fast
Caught up in the cash and got shot up in a flash, 'Ville **** don't play
When it come to that money, think real **** won't spray?
Midday when it's sunny, they kill **** broad day
On some old new jack shit
This rap shit is like tag, ****, you not it, so run
[Chorus]
I'm the man, yeah
Hey, I'm the man
I'm the man, I told y'all ****, dog
Yeah, I'm the man
Simple as that
[Verse 2]
Yeah, uh
They say I act like I'm the man 'cause motherfucker, I am
**** study my style, I should be givin' exams
Damn, boy, I'm so flamboyant with the ensemble
Polo jacket, Polo tee, what a fine combo
And I'm the man, now understand a **** bossin'
Yeah
Schemin' on that drop-top CL, but it's costin'
Yeah
Long-term plans for the fam, we'll be golfin'
Never catch a **** double-crossin' unless I'm flossin'
Woo
In the streets, **** peaceful until you force 'em
To quarterback them bullet passes, you can Randy Moss 'em
Yeah
Goddamn, you **** got handled
**** only publishin', my style got sampled
So I switched like a thick bitch with some heels on
Seen a **** get popped, I feel for him
Yeah
I know who did it, but you think I'm finna squeal on him?
Nah
Shout out to R.J. Hill, I would kill for him
That's word, ****, observe my genius
E&J sippin' got a **** straight leanin'
My DNA drippin' while your girl stay drinkin'
I told you I'm the man, what the fuck y'all **** thinkin'? Yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm the man
Shout out to Fat Gear down in ATL, my ****, what up?
I'm the man, ****
Yeah, I'm the man
I'm the man, ****
You know I'm the man
Shout out to my **** Rico out in Chicago, I see you
Yeah, yo
[Outro]
First and foremost, Fayettenam, what's good?
Carolina, what up?
Bull City, Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Wilmington, ****
Everywhere, dog, you know?
I'm reppin' from long distance, man
I told y'all, boy, I'm 'bout to get this money and come home right quick
Y'all **** still see me, though, you think I'm still there, y'all ain't even know I'm gone
I'm back so much, ****
I hear y'all lil' **** talking, ****
Prince of the city, ****, prince of the South, ****, holla at me
You know? Heir to the throne, bitch
