The song "Man I" by Gorilla Zoe is a song about the artist's journey from being broke and struggling to becoming successful and wealthy. In the lyrics, he reflects on his past life where he was sleeping on the floor and had very little money. He talks about how he used to wear cheap clothes and shoes in fifth grade but now he can afford expensive kicks (sneakers) and 40-inch rims for his car. The song also mentions how he used to admire and desire relationships with famous women like Jada Pinkett Smith, Trina, and Jennifer Lopez. However, now he can easily fly to Puerto Rico to meet beautiful women. He brags about his shopping sprees in Gucci stores on Rodeo Drive and smoking high-quality marijuana. He raps about his success and wealth, driving around in expensive cars with 28-inch rims and throwing money out of the window. Gorilla Zoe also highlights his improvement in lifestyle and living conditions. He used to have an old beat-up truck but now drives a brand new Camaro. He jokes about his brother breaking the TV antenna in the past, but now has flat-screen plasma TVs everywhere. He mentions how his diet has also upgraded from eating cheap Ramen noodles to enjoying luxurious shrimp fettuccine. The overall message of the song is about Gorilla Zoe's personal triumph over poverty and his journey to success. He wants to show off his newfound wealth, high-status lifestyle, and the beautiful women who are attracted to him now.
