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)]
