[Verse 1]
They say i'm wrong to live without commandments
Said my cause, I'm not a solid band
It seems the world requires a straight foundation
A forumlas to measure other men
Where you goin', your fatherless child?
Have you always been so wild?
What degree now do you hold?
Would you be a solider boy?
Oh, lord
Woah lord, yeah
[Verse 2]
They say I'm black, and so I must remember
And live what advantage I can find
It seems the world's tried to riot my cause down the street
Enslave me, persecution chills my mind
I'm not here to be confined
I have a heart and I've brought a mind
I have two feet on which I stand
I am black, and I'm a man
Woah lord, woah lord
[Verse 3]
Said I'm goin', goin', yеah
Goin' to say I'm alone, yeah
Say I'm gone and lеft with my situation
And turn around and see me 'fore you go
And you see that I'm man
I've two feet and got two hands
I've a heart and I've brought mind
I'm not here to be confined, woah-oh
[Verse 4]
Can't you see me, can't you see me
Can't you see me, can't you see me
I'm a man now, oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
Understand me, I wanna live like you
I'm a man, I'm a man
[Outro]
Woah, understand
