He's the Man

from The Bandwagon: Director's Cut by SoSoon

/

about

"He's the Man is for those listeners who appreciate the art of lyrical ability which comes as a direct result of being raised as a New York emcee."

lyrics

Vs 1: Who do you know gets sponge baths with happy endings,
never had one I recommend it,
bed and breakfast, head and breakfast,
my company pays overhead expenses.

You verses me that's talking reckless,
I'm ahead of my time Flintstones verse Jetson’s,
cause if a Dick head can be head of Americans,
command warheads and bring death to veterans.

Then surely Porgy I can beckon
that I'm the man my chorus mentions,
I'm in demand like wars to weapons
therefore I'm demanding you all respect him.

While I, restore the allure of freshness,
my style is a salad tossed with dressing,
the boss of the floss make sure when I step in
you reward em with applause and affection, like SoSoon.


Vs 2: Ladies and gentleman, your attention,
the man’s in command for your protection,
The lord of moors, but with more direction,
The lord of war, I import the weapons.

The lord of lords next to lord in heaven,
the lord is my lords my important message,
the more you explore with the Dora method
is the more you detour from the manifested.

I am, the man-i-fes-tation of greatness
you are the re in-car-nation of Satan
y'all dudes is Judas, full of hatred,
attempting, to tarnish my reputation.

Instead of protecting your reckless nature,
you show disrespect, a request for danger,
and mama told me not to mess with strangers,
but dude lost his mind like vegetation (now he's saying).


Vs 3: Call me Bret the Hitman, sharp shooter your heart,
stupid not cupid, ruthless with the darts,
move into your starting mark, get set go,
me be a starving artist, heck no!!!!!

Soon so fly, so why would I stunt,
like tryna hide fucked up teeth with gold fronts,
ziggins ghost riding tryna ride rough,
you can pole vault with my dick off my nuts.

(Like uhhhh) I touch these women like Steve jobs,
you pay to play with women from b squads,
I lay with grade a vagina,
bench like a WNBA lineup.

I'm a big deal like the 90s 49ers,
the rhyming Montana before he retired,
the 08 giants inside of ciphers,
ziggins that try me wind up getting mind fucked.

Still wonder why its I who the man is,
I who resides on totally different planet,
I live my life on totally different standards,
so I sympathize for your lack of understanding.

These little guys they lines are grandstanding,
telling little lies the size of grand canyons,
the difference between you wannabe's and the man is,
you make demands, I make commandments.
