Who's The Man

I used to kick it with the thugs, pushin' drugs in the park 
Makin' every mark that was out after dark 
Stick 'em for their loot, cut em up then I'd dash 
And when I had to shoot, I'd nutted up for the cash 
Ran down the block with my 45 glock 
Capped off a round, everybody hit the ground 
The next thing I heard was a siren 
Couldn't turn around, money grip kept firin' 
Runnin' for the ride, I can't go inside 
I'd rather that I died, I got too much pride 
I guess it's just somethin' that you can't understand 
My gun's in my hand, tell me who's the man? 

Chorus (x4) 
Who's the man with the master plan? 
Who's the man? Who's the man? 

I used to sell ya yo back in the day-o 
Ran with the gang, had all the homie's slang 
Grams to the quarters, I'm takin' all the orders 
Makin' all the runs, Rakin' in the funds 
I always got my gun, it's the old six-shooter 
King of the neighborhood, crazy white peckerwood 
Now people thinkin' Danny lost his mind 
It must've been from all the wine man and all the hardtimes 
Like chillin' in the park in the dark with the crew 
I'm always gettin' high, I saw my man die 
Now I got the work and the dough, 25 grand and a 5 keys of blow 
I gotta' relocate and start all over 
But watch it blow up like a supernova 
I keep my game in tight and follow the plan 
My gun's in my hand, tell me who's the man? 

Chorus (x4) 

I got myself locked down in the pen 
I ain't got a friend, so here I go again 
I gotta' get my props up and earn my respect 
Gotta' shake someone up or throw 'em off the top deck 
My time's runnin' out, I gotta' spill some blood 
If I don't do it quick, shit, my name'll be mud 
So I pick out a hardrock and rush him in his cell 
Beat his ass down and then say that he fell 
And if I gotta' do him, screw him, the convict's dead 
I'll stab him in the chest, just another 
Of the cell block know that I'm nobody's ho 
My shanks in my hand so tell me who's the man? 

Chorus (x4)
