You say it's driving you insane,
But you'll never be the same,
'Cause you've lost all the power,
That's in your head.

Well I knew him back from school days,
So I caught him right before.
He got himself an ego,
And gave his life to selling draw.
Well, I understood his problems,
But he left me with his answers,
And now he's looking round
For someone else to blame.

You're acting like we're not the same,
Like selling drugs should give you fame,
But it don't, see,
It ain't your prowess that keeps them knocking at your door.

You is the man, you think you're godfather,
Until the Babylon them gone come after.
You is the man, you think you're godfather,
Until the Babylon them gone come after.

Oh what a shame, you were gonna be so different,
Now the greed's taking over.
Oh what a shame, 'cause your thinking was so different,
But now the greed’s taking over.

You is the man, you think you're godfather,
Until the Babylon them gone come after.
You is the man, you think you're godfather,
You is the one.

You say it's driving you insane,
But you'll never be the same,
'Cause you've lost all the power,
That's in your head.

You're acting like we're not the same,

But it don't, see,
It ain't your prowess that keeps them knocking at your door.

We say oh what a shame, you were gonna be so different,
Now the greed's taking over.
Oh what a shame, 'cause your thinking was so different.
But now the greed's taking over.

You is the man, you think you're godfather,
Until the Babylon them gone come after.
You is the man, you think you're godfather,
You is the one.

You've got the d, dealer fever,
You gotta break from the fever.
You've got the d, dealer fever,
You gotta break from the fever.
