[Intro]
I am a man with a plan
I might do things a little different
But I am a man with a plan
And I do them for a reason
I am a man with a plan
So excuse me if I'm distant
I am a man with a plan
A man on a mission

[Verse 1]
I will soak it in
All that I'm learning
I will open my thoughts too
All I'm supposed to

[Pre-Chorus]
I've done my time
Being institutionalized
From the garden of Eden
To the fight for freedom, oh

[Chorus]
Because I am a man with a plan
I might do things a little different
But I am a man with a plan
And I do them for a reason
I am a man with a plan
So excuse me if I'm distant
I am a man with a plan
A man on a mission
[Verse 2]
I'll use all I know
To quieten my ego (Quieten my ego)
I'll explore the floors
Of all of my people (Of all of my people)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've done my time
Being institutionalized
From the garden of Eden
To the fight for freedom, oh

[Chorus]
Because I am a man with a plan
I might do things a little different
But I am a man with a plan
And I do them for a reason
I am a man with a plan
So excuse me if I'm distant
I am a man with a plan
A man on a mission

[Bridge]
From the trees to beneath the seas
All of the degrees of their energies
Their centuries or [?]
And all that they achieved
Say centuries or [?], oh
And all that they achieved
Won't end in history
It'll begin with me
[Chorus]
Because I am a man with a plan
I might do things a little different
But I am a man with a plan
And I do them for a reason
I am a man with a plan
So excuse me if I'm distant
I am a man with a plan
A man on a mission
I am a man with a plan (I am, I am)
I might do things a little different
But I am a man with a plan (I am, I am)
And I do them for a reason
I am a man with a plan (I am, I am)
So excuse me if I'm distant
I am a man with a plan (I am, I am)
A man on a mission
