Man I Used to Be

I tried it, I couldn't find it

Now I just wanna get back to me

Oh baby, hoo hoo

Back into the man I used to beI tried it, I couldn't find it

Now I just wanna get back to me

Oh baby, hoo hoo hoo

Back into the man I used to beThings that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em

Secrets below the surface of truth I hid 'em

This mankind is past, but can he erase

The tears of a million years is human race

Of animals, that talk and walk upright

Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night

Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links

Like the men we used to be and are we suppose to think?Mysteries, maybe not

It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but

I hold a pen with the grip so tight

That'd squeeze the ink onto the page

And write a song for the people

Came up from the underground

Now I write above on a hovercraft of sound

This microphone is like an amphetamine

Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams

So nature can intervene, just for a sceneI tried it, I couldn't find it

Now I just wanna get back to me

Oh baby, hoo hoo

Back into the man I used to beI walk a long path alone, my feet hurt

Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt

I went to church, I tried everything

From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing

For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers

Had been across the universe and inside of flowers

But what is it worth? I'm still just a man on the earth

While rappers are acting like man tanCan I be candid? I can't stand it

Rap bandit, got heaven acting frantic

I wanna swing my sword decapitate

But what is a man if he acts like an ape?

So I sit back, planning my great escape

Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate

The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me

So what is reality? I don't knowI tried it, I couldn't find it

Now I just wanna get back to me

Oh baby, hoo hoo

Back into the man I used to beBack into the man I used to be

Back into the man I used to beI tried it, I couldn't find it

Oh baby, hoo hooWrong song

You know whatI woke up in the morning

I took a trip to the corner store

That's when I heard my calling

But I'd never heard the voice of truth before

So I kept on walking

Pretending I didn't see

Walked by a window and my reflection said to me

"You could try all the same""But you'll never know this mystery

There's no pilot on your plane

So you're not the man you used to be

Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery

When your pie has no plate"

Said, "You're not the man you used to be"Sayin' ya holla and ya holla, you follow you fall

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fallYo, microphones get ripped holding us back

K dash rocking it out, rocking the cold style

Making it up, go along singing my song

Woke up, in the early morn didn't know what was going on

Whatever, I don't really know

Flows like an immaculate goat what up, whatever
