Lyrics

Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)

I believe every lie that I ever told
Paid for every heart that I ever stole
Played my cards and I didn't fold
Well it ain't that hard when you got soul

(This is my world)

Somewhere I heard that life is a test
I've been through the worst, but I still give my best
God made my mold different from the rest
Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed

(This is my world)

Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
And be a king when kingdom comes

Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)

I got all the answers to your questions
I'll be the teacher you can be the lesson
I'll be the preacher be the confession
I'll be the quick relief to all your stressing

It's a thin line between love and hate
Is you really real or is you really fake?
I'm a soldier standing on my feet
No surrender and I won't retreat

(This is my world)

Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
And be a king when kingdom comes

Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)

I'm the man
Go ahead and tell everybody
What I'm saying y'all

I'm the man
Go ahead and tell everybody
What I'm saying y'all

CHORUS
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)

This is one of best songs I've ever heard. I came across it through the Dave Chappelle comedy "Dreams" Oh YEAH I'M THE MAN AND THIS MY WORLD...lovin STAND UP BE A KING

[darkpassenger]

This is why music is made,
To inspire and leave us in awe, not just to make a quick buck.

[Riggpoppa]

Congrats to Pat Bev for winning a "championship" 🏆

[jacquelyndaniel]

I love this song it's been my oldest son ring tone for years.
I had him at 15 and the odds was against us. He will be done with college in 2020 thank God for making him such a wonderful person. # my hero

[louisbaker]

One of the most Underated songs out there

[great]

This song was running through my head my entire college graduation weekend earlier in December 2014. I am so proud of what I accomplished. I am, without a doubt, the man!

[mjsullivan-dptj]

This song really brings back the good memories in 2014 😁

[mcwithers]

This song helped me get through bullying and depretion. Very inspirational

[mrnqr]

My cousin was deployed to Afghanistan in June of last year.This song was played at his welcome home party last February.
He is a true man, an Australian soldier and I am following in his footsteps.
And before I receive any hate over this just remember A true soldier doesn't fight because he hate's what's in front of him, he fights because he loves what he left behind.

[SupaFlyFatGuy]

Man this song is SUPER DUPER uplifting! I feel like I can do anything listening to this song!

[BlackMamba]

I dedicate this song to every black man who needs that up spirt lift

[ChefJaaion]

This song never gets old. I'm a woman, and I'd still make it my theme song.

[glennstermania]

Come Monday, May 12th, 2014, I will have lost 55 lbs, in just 3 months and 1 week. Diet, exercise, discipline, willpower and even sacrifice. This will be the first video I share on my wall, to celebrate achieving my goal, and resurrection. From 205 down to 150. This song says exactly what I feel. Thanks Aloe Blacc!

[EternalHatredXD]

This song makes me feel...  Like The Man :)

[Chesmire]

Aloe Blacc is the man. His voice is so original but unique

[patatakap]

Women have their theme song, "I'm Every Woman" and now men finally have their theme song, "The Man".

[audbugaudbug]

When you finish one long ass assignment you had a month to do all in one night and it’s due tomorrow



True story ;-;

[rickyleepotts]

Man, this song makes me feel great. I mean... It makes me feel like *THE MAN*! Who is this guy? I am beyond impressed. I dare you to listen to this and *_NOT_* feel pumped up. *"Go ahead and tell everybody I'm the man. I'm the man. I'm the man."* LOVE IT!!! #music  

[luckyd]

This guy IS the man.  He doesn't go around wearing chains and shit, he has a nice suit and his songs aren't about money and bitches.  His songs cover topics like poverty and depression.  This guy is extremely respectable.  Tip of the cap to you, Aloe Blacc.

[Lev]

All semester I've wanted to tell my professor for the longest time that I thought that she was pretty. I finally did it after turning in my Final Exam, walked out and played this song immediately 😎
