The Man
SILAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m the man now
Yeah I stand out
Walk up in building everybody got they hands out
This shit panned out
I never ran out
We thugged it out
I made some moves
Just how I planned out (x2)

Swear when I’m on i ain’t breakin no sweat
Hop on the jet only wearing my sweats
Ya girl break it down when she lay on my bed
Shooting my shot like steph curry she wet
I don’t be lookin at no one like threats
That is the shit that be making a mess
Bout my bag stackin it up
This for my people ski mask in a truck
Know that this life and you don’t give a fuck
Come from the spot where the shit is so rough
Came up wit nothing no no one help us
Ran up a check now I do what i want
Chill at the crib while she roll up the blunt
I don’t be smoking but I hit it once
Have that bitch thinkin that she is in love
Pullin her hair when I beat that shit up
But that is too graphic dropping these classic
Tryna make change ya boy was a bastard
Flippin these packs selling the crack
Have my folk thinking I’d never be back
Never really wanna wanna get up on that
Always wonder why like that shit was
I am the best imma mask that up
Talkin that shit got the gat like what like what

I’m the man now
Yeah I stand out
Walk up in building everybody got they hands out
This shit panned out
I never ran out
We thugged it out
I made some moves
Just how I planned out (x2)

Remember I ain’t have shit
Talking bout last year
Old bitch bugging dog
That don’t even matter
Got a new joint
And her ass way fatter
Slamming on breaks
Get out my face
Went to Mastro steaks from minimum wage
Hit the radio dawg and imma beast everyday
Like what
How does it feel
When the whole wide world wanna burn you down
They don’t give a fuck they don’t hear your sound
They don’t even know when it came from the heart
They don’t even know like when you start
They don’t got bite all they do is bark
Really wanna tell em when i see em in the mall
I do it all i do it all
I had some money i stash in cars
They said I’d fail when I reach for stars
Look at me now
Roll it up burn it up
Smoke it up
Turn up
I had just come from the place full of murder
Mama be calling I tell her I’m learning
Fuck social media shit is a burden
I could expose all the shit behind curtains
Smoke and the mirrors the shit that look clearer
I flip a new page
Followed the wave
Call me the man
The boy was a faze

I’m the man now
Yeah I stand out
Walk up in building everybody got they hands out
This shit panned out
I never ran out
We thugged it out




I made some moves
Just how I planned out (x2)
