Man I Used To Be Lyrics - K-os

I tried it, I couldn't find it 

Now I just wanna get back to me 

Oh baby, hoo hoo 

Back into the man I used to be 

I tried it, I couldn't find it 

Now I just wanna get back to me 

Oh baby, hoo hoo hoo 

Back into the man I used to be 

Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em 

Secrets below the surface of truth I hid 'em 

This mankind is past, but can he erase 

The tears of a million years is human race 

Of animals, that talk and walk upright 

Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night 

Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links 

Like the men we used to be and are we suppose to think? 

Mysteries, maybe not 

It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but 

I hold a pen with the grip so tight 

That'd squeeze the ink onto the page 

And write a song for the people 

Came up from the underground 

Now I write above on a hovercraft of sound 

This microphone is like an amphetamine 

Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams 

So nature can intervene, just for a scene 

I tried it, I couldn't find it 

Now I just wanna get back to me 

Oh baby, hoo hoo 

Back into the man I used to be 

I walk a long path alone, my feet hurt 

Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt 

I went to church, I tried everything 

From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing 

For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers 

Had been across the universe and inside of flowers 

But what is it worth? I'm still just a man on the earth 

While rappers are acting like man tan 

Can I be candid? I can't stand it 

Rap bandit, got heaven acting frantic 

I wanna swing my sword decapitate 

But what is a man if he acts like an ape? 

So I sit back, planning my great escape 

Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate 

The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me 

So what is reality? I don't know 

I tried it, I couldn't find it 

Now I just wanna get back to me 

Oh baby, hoo hoo 

Back into the man I used to be 

Back into the man I used to be 

Back into the man I used to be 

I tried it, I couldn't find it 

Oh baby, hoo hoo 

Wrong song 

You know what 

I woke up in the morning 

I took a trip to the corner store 

That's when I heard my calling 

But I'd never heard the voice of truth before 

So I kept on walking 

Pretending I didn't see 

Walked by a window and my reflection said to me 

"You could try all the same" 

"But you'll never know this mystery 

There's no pilot on your plane 

So you're not the man you used to be 

Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery 

When your pie has no plate" 

Said, "You're not the man you used to be" 

Sayin' ya holla and ya holla, you follow you fall 

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall 

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall 

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall 

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall 

Ya holler and ya holla, ya follow ya fall 

Yo, microphones get ripped holding us back 

K dash rocking it out, rocking the cold style 

Making it up, go along singing my song 

Woke up, in the early morn didn't know what was going on 

Whatever, I don't really know 

Flows like an immaculate goat what up, whatever
