Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I would be complex

I would be cool

They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to

And that would be okay

For me to do

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

[Verse 2]

I'd be a fearless leader

I'd be an alpha type

When everyone believes ya

What's that like?

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again

'Cause if I was a man

Then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man

[Verse 3]

They'd say I hustled

Put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve

What I was wearing

If I was rude

Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves

[Verse 4]

And they would toast to me, oh

Let the players play

I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again

'Cause if I was a man

Then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man

[Bridge]

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars

And getting bitches and models?

And it's all good if you're bad

And it's okay if you're mad

If I was out flashing my dollars

I'd be a bitch, not a baller

They paint me out to be bad

So it's okay that I'm mad

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (You know that)

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)

Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey!)

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)

Then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man (Oh)

[Outro]

I'd be the man (Yeah)

I'd be the man

I'd be the man (If I was a man, I'd be the man)
