This Man

Lyrics by Samuel Nash
Music by Fabien Préaux

VERSE
This man, he chose to walk away
And it wouldn't be the end of the story so soon

This man he chose to walk today
The beginning of the end of his glory assumed

Was right around the turn
You can crash but your life ain't gotta burn
He walked many miles
with every step you gotta earn

Didn't gawk at any styles, they talked too many times
No need to listen to what you can't see

You can see off those many faces; awkward metaphysics
Everyone's got an opinion like a head to visit

The point is, it's moving
There is no point you can refer (to)
Hey, there is no point that can occur

Until you stop moving
Still your top's moving
You can drop two things or will you drop the third?

Or will you stop to swerve
Do we ever got the nerve to knock the next man?

One ting can lead to another
Not to flex man.

Don't be so over-self righteous
Don't be so over-self righteous



REFRAIN
Recognize we re-collide and that's a good ting
Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing

Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling
Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2)

VERSE
The man is still walkin', staggering; near crawling
The man ain't on the ball, is the man still balling?

Anti-gravity, is the man still falling?
Has he already fallen?
Is that man just stalling?

If life is a flight, then the push is a tall wind
Or a summer soft breeze; smog as in Harlem

No need the word stardom, we stars and we already smart
Shine the light on blind eyes
It's already art

Don't be so over self.
Don't be so over self.
Don't be so over self, righteous man.

REFRAIN
Recognize we re-collide and that's a good ting
Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing

Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling
Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2) and that's a good ting
Records ride but effort flies and that's a hood swing

Kept the prize and repped the pride; the lie is good bling
Yet to slide, we bet the tide will bring a good king(x2)

REPRISE
Don't be so over self.
Don't be so over self.
Don't be so over self, righteous man.
