MAN! is a song about acceptance. It’s woven with this story about losing a friend that a lot of the project is about- but it’s more centered about me and how I cope with acceptance.
Whenever something bad happens I’ll usually go “MANNNN” and just accept the L, but this song tells you what’s going on...
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Sub zero, icy cold water down my throat
Sub-human in the mirror, writing down a note
Fatality, game over
Time move faster when you want it to go slower
Voice decibels dropped, I can't keep that energy
Flow staying chopped, what's the point in a legacy
Generations moving on, you ain't gonna be remembered
Keep moving like a pawn, you just keep staying tethered
You just keep staying trapped in a box, with those feelings that they lacked, that they'll never feel back
That they'll never ring you up and say sorry and they snapped
You gotta close up that chapter, read the next and adapt like oh
[Hook]
Why you call my name when I'm feeling lost
Why I feel the rain turn into the frost
It's permanent, set in stone, yeah
Felt the needle in the past, now it's sewn, yeah
Why you call my name when I'm feeling lost
Why I feel the rain turn into the frost
It's permanent, set in stone, yeah
Felt the needle in the past, now it's sewn, yeah
[Verse 2]
It didn't hurt when I first heard the news
Cause I was kickin' it and ridin' on the fact it's a ruse
I wasn't thinking straight, I wasn't thinking it's true, yeah
Shooting for the sky and getting trapped in the blues
Uh, lost in translation with my own thoughts thinking
I was going up when I was crawling back down sinking
And I'm looking at the top, the light from it's fading
The whole book is closing on me and I'm flipping through the pages like
The less I know the better cause the ink keeps drying, uh
The reaper is my debtor and he knows I'm trying, uh
I'm telling him I'm bouncing back but I know I'm lying, uh
Putting on a mask to hide the fact I am crying, uh
The less I know the better cause the ink keeps drying, uh
The reaper is my debtor and he knows I'm trying, uh
I'm telling him I'm bouncing back but I know I'm lying, uh
Putting on a mask to hide the fact I am crying, uh
[Hook]
Why you call my name when I'm feeling lost
Why I feel the rain turn into the frost
It's permanent, set in stone, yeah
Felt the needle in the past, now it's sewn, yeah
Why you call my name when I'm feeling lost
Why I feel the rain turn into the frost
It's permanent, set in stone, yeah
Felt the needle in the past, now it's sewn, yeah
