[Verse 1]
I would be Fcomplex, I would be Gcool
They'd say I Cplayed the field before I found someAmone to commit to
And that would be Fokay for me to Gdo
Every Cconquest I had made would make me Ammore of a boss to you
[Pre-Chorus]
 FI'd be a fearless leader
 GI'd be an alpha type
 CWhen everyone believes ya
 AmWhat's that like?
[Chorus]
FI'm so sick of running as Gfast as I can
 CWondering if I'd get there quicker if AmI was a man
And FI'm so sick of them coming Gat me again
'Cause if CI was a man, then AmI'd be the man
I'd be the FmanG  
I'd be the CmanAm  
[Verse 2]
They'd say I Fhustled, put in the Gwork
They wouldn't Cshake their heads and question how much Amof this I deserve
What I was Fwearing, if I was Grude
Could all be Cseparated from my good iAmdeas and power moves
[Pre-Chorus]
 FAnd they would toast to me, oGh, let the players play
 CI'd be just like LeAmo in Saint Tropez
[Chorus]
FI'm so sick of running as Gfast as I can
 CWondering if I'd get there quicker if AmI was a man
And FI'm so sick of them coming Gat me again
'Cause if CI was a man, then AmI'd be the man
I'd be the FmanG  
I'd be the CmanAm  
[Bridge]
What's it like to brag about Fraking in dollars
And getting Gbitches and models?
And it's all Cgood if you're bad
And it's oAmkay if you're mad
If I was out Fflashing my dollars, I'd be a Gbitch not a baller
They'd paint me Cout to be bad
So, it's oAmkay that I'm mad
[Chorus]
FI'm so sick of running as Gfast as I can
 CWondering if I'd get there quicker if AmI was a man (You know that)
And FI'm so sick of them coming Gat me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if CI was a man (If I was a man)
Then AmI'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
FI'm so sick of running as Gfast as I can (As fast as I can)
 CWondering if I'd get there quicker if AmI was a man (Hey)
And FI'm so sick of them coming Gat me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if CI was a man (If I was a man), then AmI'd be the man
I'd be the FmanG  
I'd be the Cman (Oh)Am  
I'd be the Fman (Yeah)G  
I'd be the Cman Am(I'd be the man)
