Uh, generation after generation (woo)
Handle business without hesitating (hey)
Say the world gon' change, but I'm still waiting
I done ran out, but I'm still patient (uh)
Who is the man, yeah, with the bands, yeah?
With the plans, yeah? (Who?)
Who they gon' call when they come in the bam, yeah? (Brrr, shaft)

Too much shaft, coming through there (hey)
Too much shaft, run through there (shaft)
Who you gon' call? It's a shootout (baow)
Black man looking for a way out (shaft)
Ooh, blessing all his black suits
And all the fancy shoes (hey, yeah, woo, shaft)

Who is the man?
Too much shaft
Who is the man?
Too much shaft
Who is the man?
Too much shaft
Who is the man? (Shaft)

Too much shaft, coming through there (hey)
Too much shaft, run through there (shaft)
Who you gon' call? It's a shootout (baow)
Black man looking for a way out (man)
Ooh, blessing all his black suits
And all his fancy shoes (shaft)

Uh, generation after generation (woo)
Handle business without hesitating (hey)
Say the world gon' change, but I'm still waiting
I done ran out, but I'm still patient (uh)
Who is the man, yeah, with the bands, yeah?
With the plans, yeah? (Who?)
Who they gon' call when they come in the bam, yeah? (Brrr, shaft)

Uh, uh, who you think you talkin' to?
Hahahahaha, boy, you better shut your mouth
