I never saw this "man"
That everyone speaks of
No not the Gloved One
The one holdin' us down
Playing us like clowns
In every inner-city-plantation-town
Mind-settingly gagged and bound
No I never saw the "man"
Though I see the results of his plan
He's bigger than the clan
Or even the President
Congress and the Senators
Are below his hand
Though I see I could never comprehend
This entity called "the man"

Bro. "The Man" is like the Matrix System
He's around us everywhere
He's omnipresent and tricky but he does his
dealing without a flare
You must be conscious of him
or you won't spot his work
You will look left and right while walking the
street and think,
all the world is berserk
Look hard enough and you will see
He's right in front of you
But once you find him
Send me The Plan
So I can know just what you want to do...
