Man I Used To Be (Radio Remix) - 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
