You ever been in jail? (Me? Jail? No way, no)
Been in a mental hospital?
What about homosexuality? You like men, huh?
You like to dress up like a woman?
What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Are you kiddin' me or what?
(Just answer the questions) okay, no, okay? Fuck no
(The almighty E-A-Ski track)
Man up, stand up, spark the fuckin' band up
Put your fuckin' hands up, put down the cameras
Rush they ass to the dirt, we about to move the earth
Megahertz do the work, this a code blue alert
Homegirl do the twerk, BBL 'bout to burst
When it burst, it's the worst, you was in it face first
Get your mind out the gutter, homie, it's about the butter
It's about the milk and honey, get your mouth off the other
It's about your baby brother, get him out this motherfucker
Put him on the right path, teach him how to fight back
Teach him how to whoop some ass, teach him how to mega-blast
Teach him how to get the money, and make the cheddar last
All I wanna know is
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
Do you got the man power?
All I wanna know is
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
Do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
All I wanna know is
Do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
All I wanna know is do you got the man power?
Grab that, cocked it, they say it's toxic
I canned it, boxed it, shipped it to your college
That is fake knowledge (artificial knowledge)
They tryna turn yo' ass into a hybrid
They tryna turn my ass into a pirate
Westcoast warlord, never stay silent
Tryna stay dignified, they want you sissy-fied
Doin' the electric slide, nigga, that's suicide
Who ridin'? I'm your worldwide tour guide
This ain't glorified
I leave the motherfuckers horrified
Hit a bull in the bull's eye
With the .45, live my life, do-or-die
It's not a X chromosome, girl, it's a Y
I got the power to stand like a tower
They got the nerve to run like some cowards
All I wanna know is
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
Do you got the man power?
All I wanna know is
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
Do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
All I wanna know is do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power? (Do you got the man power?)
All I wanna know is do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power?
Do you got the man power?

How do you like it? They tell you all the time what to do, what to think, what to feel
Do you wanna be like a sheep? Like all those other people?
Do you wanna work eight, ten fuckin' hours? You own nothin', you got nothin'?
