I'm The Man
Chubb Rock Lyrics

Well real smooth connected to the deep end bass groove
The intro of the music is calm and has a deep bass.

I set the precedent for emcees to lose
I am so good that no one can measure up to me.

More than a spelling be it's compelling me
I am driven to excel beyond a simple spelling bee.

To let the I come before the E except after see to the H
I have my own rules about spelling that matter to me.

To the you to the double be we respect that name cause the rock just G'd
We give respect to the name and its significance in rock music.

All over the commercial hard like Herschel
My music is deeply ingrained in the commercial world and is tough.

The verse will insult but don't take it personal
My lyrics may be offensive, but they are not intended personally.

Everybody knows that I'm the man and
My reputation precedes me and everyone knows who I am.

Always got a positive plan for the fans
I am committed to providing positivity and hope to my fans.

First concerns as the world turns
I prioritize the important issues in the world.

To expose the racists like Howard Sterns
I am intent on revealing and fighting against racists like Howard Stern.

George Burns, oh my God, takes a black comedian and he learns
Even big names like George Burns can learn from black comedians.

Make more greens than ferns
I make a lot of money.

Horticulture is not my main subject
I am not interested in plants and gardening.

The subject is microphone check one two
My focus is on performing and testing the microphone.

And you don't stop the royalty fees
I am making money and not going to stop collecting royalties.

The Chubbster you know he's
I'm Chubb Rock and you know me.

"Gonna get the night on fire..."
I will liven up the night with my music.

Anyway you put it when you see me you know that I'm the man
Regardless of how you perceive me, you know that I am the best.

Hypothetically speaking who's speaking at the function

Yo -- I hear his jeep clunking
I hear his jeep making a strange sound.

A jeep -- doesn't he make enough ends?
Why is he driving a jeep when he has enough money?

A genius like him should drive a Benz
It would be more fitting for someone like him to drive a Mercedes-Benz.

Well he believes clothes don't make the man or a car
He thinks that a person's worth is not determined by their clothing or car.

And the man still makes five hundred grand
Despite his beliefs, he still makes a lot of money.

Every six months yo the kid is no dunce
He's not dumb and makes a lot of money every six months.

And he doesn't drink and refuses to smoke blunts
He doesn't drink or smoke marijuana.

'Cause the black must clear the smoke and grab the throttle
I must break through barriers and take control of my life.

And stop livin in a bottle
I must stop living a closed-off life.

The Constitution starts tearin
The document that establishes our government is being threatened or compromised.

I hope you hear what Gil Scott was Heron/hearin
I hope you paid attention to the message that Gil Scott-Heron presented.

The intelligent man is common knowledge.

He's going to liven up the night with his brilliance.

Are there any women here? Biologically, I am male.
