Written by Angus /West Published by Warner Chappell Music FAT MAN The big Fat Man, he's coming So take to your heels, get running He'll Bleed you dry, Leave you to die And it's not yours to ask why So just run and be aware and don't you get caught in the snare In the trap Because he's holding you back You know the Fat Man has got you on the crack You can't move, screwed down Real hard, with your face to the ground Keeping You in the place that you came from While the Fat Man spends your money on bombs And you, you're the same No matter what you do or what your name Because the rich are getting richer The poor destitute Whilst the Fat Man he's got your loot So keep running So hold your home ground Just run the Fat Man around But keep your distance and keep your cool Because the man at the top he is no fool So check it out, get deep Stay fresh, stay upon your feet Get on the case, if there's a case to get on Because tomorrow will come and the case will be gone Take and give, give and take The rules that they make must sound fake They'll give you a little and take a lot So take what you can whilst the going is hot In the jungle of brick and stone Where the man with the money has the throne Where things go on dare I speak of Where the living is hard and the going is tough So keep running Spending to much of my precious time Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man FAT MAN continued....... So check what I'm saying 'Cos this is the word I'm not playing I'm not on the mic with something to prove But to say wise up and keep on the move You've got to fight, keep guard 'Cos living in the city is hard and in the end When the city falls down It's the Fat Man who has fell to the ground And the fit will survive , the strong will stay alive So make your stand because your life is at hand And learn from the mistakes of your fellow man Then you can move on But take note of where you're from Know where you're from Know where you're at So just run and make fiction fact And keep running because he's catching you up And if he catches you You're going to run out of luck Because you know it is the voice of the new generation of rappers Who will show you the truth of the new situation I've run a long way to get on the mic to tell you today I had to play my cards and work real hard And now I'm here I'm sounding rock hard And the Fat Man he can't be seen I've ran to a place that's hard and mean A place happy people just gather around I'm in a fantasy, my own underground And you're free to come too So just put on your running shoes Because if going to come Well, the Fat Man's coming so listen up brother Keep running, keep running Spending to much of my precious time Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man Spending to much of my precious time Staying one step ahead of the Fat Man........repeat to fade
