The Man Lyrics

There's a fifth of my fifth left and this town's running dry

My girl's across the room and she's flirting with another guy

Well if you disrespect the man

I'll bury them both

Well I never took a life who didn't deserve to die

Like the crow that steals the robin's egg in broad daylight

Well if you disrespect the man

You better hope I don't catch you

Cause I'll cut you down

Inch by inch

I'll put a bullet through your chest

And a knife across your wrist

Cause when you're down on your knees

And take your last breath

And pray to the man to set you free

But you shouldn't have talked

To my lady

Well I'm not one to double dip so you better think twice

Have you sighted that six shooter to hit me between the eyes

Cause when you mess with the man

Just know that I don't miss

Now pretty young lady I did not forget about you

I showered you in diamonds and draped you in precious jewels

But you messed with the man

So I'll show you what the man will do

Cause I'll cut you down

Inch by inch

I'll put a bullet through your chest

And a knife across your wrist

Cause when you're down on your knees

And take your last breath

And pray to the man to set you free

But you shouldn't have talked

Should of never have talked to me

So run

You won't get far

Cause I'll cut you down

Inch by inch

I'll put a bullet through your chest

And a knife across your wrist

Cause when you're down on your knees

And take your last breath

And pray to the man to set you free

But the man

Lets no one free
