Verse 1
I would be [F]complex, I would be [G]cool
They'd say I [C]played the field before I found some[Am]someone to commit to
And that would be [F]okay for me to [G]do
Every [C]conquest I had made would make me [Am]more of a boss to you
Pre-Chorus
[F] I'd be a fearless leader
[G] I'd be an alpha type
[C] When everyone believes ya
[Am] What's that like?
Chorus
[F]I'm so sick of running as [G]fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am]I was a man
And [F]I'm so sick of them coming [G]at me again
'Cause if [C]I was a man, then [Am]I'd be the man
I'd be the [F]man [G]
I'd be the [C]man [Am]
Verse 2
They'd say I [F]hustled, put in the [G]work
They wouldn't [C]shake their heads
and question how much [Am]of this I deserve
What I was [F]wearing, if I was [G]rude
Could all be [C]separated from my good i[Am]ideas and power moves
Pre-Chorus
[F] And they would toast to me, o[G]oh, let the players play
[C] I'd be just like Le[Am]Leo in Saint Tropez
Chorus
[F]I'm so sick of running as [G]fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am]I was a man
And [F]I'm so sick of them coming [G]at me again
'Cause if [C]I was a man, then [Am]I'd be the man
I'd be the [F]man [G]
I'd be the [C]man [Am]
Bridge
What's it like to brag about [F]drinking and dollars
And getting [G]bitches and models?
And it's all [C]good if you're bad
And it's o[Am]okay if you're mad
If I was out [F]flashing my dollars, I'd be a [G]bitch not a baller
They'd paint me [C]out to be bad
So, it's o[Am]okay that I'm mad
Chorus
[F]I'm so sick of running as [G]fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am]I was a man (You know that)
And [F]I'm so sick of them coming [G]at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [C]I was a man (If I was a man)
Then [Am]I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
[F]I'm so sick of running as [G]fast as I can (As fast as I can)
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am]I was a man (Hey)
And [F]I'm so sick of them coming [G]at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [C]I was a man (If I was a man), then [Am]I'd be the man
I'd be the [F]man [G]
I'd be the [C]man (Oh)[Am](Oh)
I'd be the [F]man (Yeah)[G](Yeah)
I'd be the [C]man [Am](I'd be the man)
Outro
If I was a man, then I'd be the man
