Lyrics

Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. Yes, I am; yes, I (Bm)am; yes, I am. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. I be lieve ev ’ry lie that I ev er told, paid for ev ’ry heart that I ev er stole; I played my cards and I did n’t fold. Well, it ain’t that hard when you got soul. (This is my world.) Some where I heard that life is a test. I’ve been through the worst, but I still give my best. God made my mold dif f’rent from the rest, then He broke that mold, so I know I’m blessed. (This is my world.) Stand up now and (Bm)face the sun. Won’t hide my tail or (D)turn and (D#dim7)run. It’s time to do what must be done: to be a king when king dom comes. Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. Yes, I am; yes, I (Bm)am; yes, I am. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. I got all the an swers to your ques tions. I’ll be the teach er; (D)you could be the les son. I’ll be the preach er; (Bm)you be the con fes sion. I’ll be the quick re lief to all your stress ing. (This is (Em)my (Bm7)world.) It’s a thin line be tween love and hate. Is you real ly real, or is you real ly fake? I’m a sol dier stand ing on my feet; no sur ren der, and I won’t re treat. (This is (Em)my (Bm7)world.) Stand up now and (Bm)face the sun. Won’t hide my tail or (D)turn and (D#dim7)run. It’s time to do what must be done and be a king when king dom comes. Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. Yes, I am; yes, I (Bm)am; yes, I am. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man. I’m the (Gmaj9)man. Go a head and tell (Em11)ev ’ry bod y what I’m (Dmaj13)say ing, y’all. I’m the (Gmaj9)man. Go a head and tell (Em11)ev ’ry bod y, what I’m (Dmaj13)say ing, y’all. I’m the hey, what I’m (A6/9)say ing, y’all. Well, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Yeah, you can tell (D)ev ’ry bod y. Go a head and tell (Bm)ev ’ry bod y. I’m the man, I’m the (Gmaj7)man, I’m the man.
