 They'd say ICplayed the field before
 I foundAmsomeone to commit to

FI'd be a fearless leader
GI'd be an alpha type
CWhen everyone believes ya
AmWhat's that like?
FI'm so sick of running asGfast as I can
CWondering if I'd get there quicker
 ifAmI was a man
 AndFI'm so sick of them comingGat me again
 'Cause ifCI was a man, thenAmI'd be the man
 I'd be theFmanG 
 I'd be theCmanAm 
 They'd say IFhustled, put in theGwork
 They wouldn'tCshake their heads
 and question how muchAmof this I deserve
 What I wasFwearing, if I wasGrude
 Could all beCseparated from
 my goodAmideas and power moves
FAnd they would toast to me,
Goh, let the players play
CI'd be just likeAmLeo in Saint Tropez

 And gettingGbitches and models?
 And it's allCgood if you're bad
 And it'sAmokay if you're mad
 If I was outFflashing my dollars,
