The Man
[Intro: Sample]
You’re the man (x8)
[Verse 1]
Through mountain high
And valley low
Large be the player thats most valuable
Took a good minute but yeah, now you know
Professor new pro gettin’ out of state dough
Not a fantasy feelin it’s time to reveal it
I’m ready and set to shut it down and seal it
Rap fantastic lyrical giant
Concrete street trooper with a made up mind
On the interest paid the price dawg with interest
Now everyday on the mic off the hinges
No burden can’t receive a closed curtain
Nah how can one man be so certain
Cos’ I, run them streets like hundreds of fellas
You is knocked out sleep gettin’ under the covers
I be choppin’ mad beats, loops are rougher
Moms said one day you’ll soon discover
[Hook: Sample]
You’re the man (x9)
[Verse 2]
Large kid devastating live humungous
From the OGs on down to the youngest
Street corner soldier, I rocked and rolled ya
Went from three T to a lot of exposure
In split seconds, I spit thousands of rhymes
And swing off the vines with a style that shines
Like magic, superior with the mic gadget
And Ima stay cuttin’ and choppin’, like a hatchet
If you didn’t catch it here go the third go round
And the sayin’ is “P’ll make the world go round”
Used to pick niggas up to get the work up town
Got drunk and the crib almost burnt down
One day, now I’m standing in God sun ray
And I always new I’d be large some day
Stay patient, and now in the palm of my hand
Is the earth and everybody sayin’
[Hook: Sample]
You’re the man (x9)
[Verse 3]
Like Nas, go against all odds
Bust out the box like them kids on [?]
Makin’ fat beats and spittin’ some gold bars
I stay generatin’ that heat with no probs
Bronx, Brook, Queens, Manhattan
No Large, the cavalry, waiting for me to yell charge
Went from lieutenant, moved up to sarge
1988 and the uptown garage
Think back move forward, everything’s in orbit
Around the profound street king absorb it
Like bounty, on each township and county
Paul doin’ his thing brothers you can't doubt me
Im at the other end of the board so you can crown me
Now newspaper reporters wanna hound me
To find out the plan from Utah to Japan
Everybody all across the land
[Outro: Sample]
You’re the man (x9)
