Ever since I was a young boy
Lord it never ends
Bad luck and trouble
been by two best friends

That landed me in court
judge said "What's you plea?"
I said "Your honor,
you'll get no begging from me."

Ain't that a Man?
I spell M
A child
N
I'm a Man

I got to get away
mojo bag is packed
I just got to see
if this whole world is whacked

Take a ride to Persia
Bin Laden's living there
Maybe someday I'll meet him
He'll regret that day I swear.

Ain't that a Man?
I spell M
A child
N
I'm a Man

I been to Kabul
been to Kandihar too
Brown clouds of sand
blow hard and straight through

Learned more about me
than I care to know
I stand here before you
I can take whatever you throw

Ain't that a Man?
I spell M
A child
N
I'm a Man
