[chorus 2x] 
I tried it, I couldn't find it 
Now I just wanna get back to me 
Aww baby, hoo hoo 
Back into the man I used to be 

Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em 
Secrets below the service 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 taught to 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 always 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'a squeeze the ink out'ta the page, and write a song for the people 
Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound 
This microphone, like an an amphetamine 
Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams 
So nature can intervene, just for a scene 

[chorus] 

I walk the 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 
Rappers are acting like man tan 
Can I be candid, I can't stand it 
Rap bandit, got Kheaven 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 beyone me 
So what is reality, I don't know 

[chorus] 

Oops, wrong song, stop it stop it 
You know what 
I 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 
Pretended 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 pile 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 pile has no plane 
Said you're the man you used to be seen 
Holla and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall 
Yo, 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
