Lyrics
I'm up and I'm alright
I am awake and feeling fine.
Push on with all my might
I persist and continue with great effort.
Got to find a way to get away today
I need to find a way to escape from my current situation today.
Because I am the man
Expressing confidence and self-assuredness.
What?
Questioning response, seeking confirmation.
I am the man
Reasserting confidence and self-assuredness.
What?
Repeat of seeking confirmation.
Who's the man
Promoting oneself as the dominant individual.
Try to front like you want to try and understand
Challenging others to comprehend and acknowledge.
But you don't know man
Highlighting a lack of understanding from others.
Through the times that we shared
Acknowledging shared experiences.
I know that you care
Acknowledging that the other person cares.
And I know you
Affirming knowledge of the other person.
And I'll go where you want to go cause I feel this way
Expressing willingness to follow the other person's desires because of a certain emotional state.
And I care what you got to say cause I feel this way
Stating concern for the other person's opinions due to a certain emotional state.
So I stepped up and I said I just don't understand
Expressing confusion and lack of understanding.
He said just come and check it out man
Receiving an invitation or suggestion to explore a situation.
I'm up and I feel fine
Feeling positive and energetic.
I won't drop till I get mine
Determined not to give up until personal goals are achieved.
I got to find a way to get away today
Reiterating the need to escape from the current situation today.
Because I am the man
Reiterating confidence and self-assuredness.
What?
Questioning response, seeking confirmation.
I am the man
Reasserting confidence and self-assuredness.
What?
Repeat of seeking confirmation.
Who's the man?
Promoting oneself as the dominant individual.
Try to front like you want to try to understand
Challenging others to comprehend and acknowledge.
But you don't know man
Highlighting a lack of understanding from others.
Through the times that we shared
Acknowledging shared experiences.
You know that I care
Affirming that the other person cares.
Cause I know you
Affirming knowledge of the other person.
Here we go
Indicating a transition or a new phase.
Hip hop nation, vibe affiliation
Associating with hip hop culture and expressing a sense of belonging.
All that I need is mind emancipation
Desiring mental liberation or freedom of thought.
Got to find a way to get away
Reiterating the need to find a way to escape.
Got to find something to make me want to stay
Searching for motivation to stay in the current situation.
Cause all that I see is jaded
Perceiving everything as worn-out or lacking excitement.
Now I can't even see straight cause I'm faded
Feeling disoriented or impaired, possibly due to substance use.
Stressed cause of strain and you know that I'm leaving today
Experiencing stress and strain, deciding to leave today.
And I care what you say, but I feel this way
Expressing concern for others' opinions but prioritizing personal feelings.
