K-os - Man I Used to Be lyrics

I tried it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna get back to me
Awe 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
Awe baby, 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 taught to 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 always 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'a squeeze the ink out'ta the page
And write a song for the people
Came up from the underground
Now I write above on a hovercraft sound
This microphone, like an 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
Awe baby, hoo, hoo
Back into the man I used to be

I walk the 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
Rappers are acting like man tan
Can I be candid, I can't stand it
Rap bandit, got Kheaven 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 beyone 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
Awe baby, hoo, hoo
Back into the man I used to be

Oops, wrong song, stop it stop it
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 pretended 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 pilot has no plane
Said you're the man you used to be seen
Holla and ya holla, you folla you fall

Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you 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
