I used to kick it with the thugs, pushin' drugs in the park
  Makin' every mark that was out after dark
  Stick 'em for their loot, cut em up then I'd dash
  And when I had to shoot, I'd nutted up for the cash
  Ran down the block with my 45 glock
  Capped off a round, everybody hit the ground
  The next thing I heard was a siren
  Couldn't turn around, money grip kept firin'
  Runnin' for the ride, I can't go inside
  I'd rather that I died, I got too much pride
  I guess it's just somethin' that you can't understand
  My gun's in my hand, tell me who's the man?
    [Chorus (x4)]
  Who's the man with the master plan?
  Who's the man? Who's the man?
    I used to sell ya yo back in the day-o
  Ran with the gang, had all the homie's slang
  Grams to the quarters, I'm takin' all the orders
  Makin' all the runs, Rakin' in the funds
  I always got my gun, it's the old six-shooter
  King of the neighborhood, crazy white peckerwood
  Now people thinkin' Danny lost his mind
  It must've been from all the wine man and all the hardtimes
  Like chillin' in the park in the dark with the crew
  I'm always gettin' high, I saw my man die
  Now I got the work and the dough, 25 grand and a 5 keys of blow
  I gotta' relocate and start all over
  But watch it blow up like a supernova
  I keep my game in tight and follow the plan
  My gun's in my hand, tell me who's the man?
    [Chorus (x4)]
    I got myself locked down in the pen
  I ain't got a friend, so here I go again
  I gotta' get my props up and earn my respect
  Gotta' shake someone up or throw 'em off the top deck
  My time's runnin' out, I gotta' spill some blood
  If I don't do it quick, shit, my name'll be mud
  So I pick out a hardrock and rush him in his cell
  Beat his ass down and then say that he fell
  And if I gotta' do him, screw him, the convict's dead
  I'll stab him in the chest, just another
  Of the cell block know that I'm nobody's ho
  My shanks in my hand so tell me who's the man?
    [Chorus (x4)]
