		 Now we're Anthrax 
And we take no **** 
And we don't care for writing hits 
'Cause the sound you hear is what we like  
And I'll steal your pop tarts like I stole your... 
socks 
Yo man, what's a matter with you 
 
Charlie beats the beats the beats you beat 
The only thing harder is the smell of my feet 
So listen up 'cause you might get dissed 
Go drain the lizard or take a... 
chair 
 
Watch the beat! 
 
I'm on your case 
I'm in your face 
Put you and your father back in place 
Step up sucker understand 
Don't you know that I'm the Man 
I'm the Man 
I'm so bad 
I should be in detention 
I'm the Man 
 
Shut up! 
 
We got real def rhythms and fresh new jams 
If you think we got egos, well we're all just hams 
Scott plays stickball and likes to skate 
Frankie's never on time; he's always... 
Sleeping 
Late!  
 
They drink the drinks they drinks they drank 
I put my money in the bank 
They cut their crack; they offer joints 
We don't do drugs do you get our... 
Meaning! 
POINT!  
 
Watch the beat!  
 
I'm on your case 
I'm in your face 
Put you and your father back in place 
Step up sucker understand 
Don't you know that I'm the Man 
I'm the Man 
I'm so bad 
I should be in detention 
I'm the Man 
 
For a heavy metal band raps a different way 
We like to be different and not cliche 
Well they say rap and metal can never mix 
Well of them can suck our... 
Sexual organ located in the lower abdominal area 
No man, it's dick! 
 
Danny farted the farts the farts he farted 
I pick my nose but I'm not retarded 
So like El Duce says, "smell my anal vapor" 
And wipe my butt with your... 
Face! 
Toilet paper! Watch the beat!  
 
I'm on your case 
I'm in your face 
Put you and your father back in place 
Step up sucker understand 
Don't you know that I'm the Man 
I'm the Man 
I'm so bad 
I should be in detention 
I'm the Man 
 
So as this rap is winding down 
Can't you see we wear the crown 
You know Anthrax is number one 
But we really don't care; we just want to have... 
A festival! 
FUN, you stupid idiot! 
 
Joey mailed the mail the mail he mailed 
We are the kings and all shall hail 
We're like a diamond that is forever 
And we'll remain the hardest ever 
 
I'm so bad 
It's a crime 
 
NOT! 
 
~ Anthrax's groundbreaking 1987 single "I'm The Man" -- a delightful, and funny, fusion of metal and rap. The song was both a playful poke at the rap genre and an homage to the rappers of Brooklyn, NY.
