"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.

Bueno?
Soy yo mi amor, antes de que me cuelgues, nom¨¢s dejame
explicar que...
(dial tone)
No me vuelvas a llamar, tratando de explicar
Que lo que v¨ª no era cierto
Verguenza debes tener, si me quieres convencer
Que eres fiel y eres sincero
Te v¨ª con ella, no puedes negar
Que eran tus labios los que la besaban, canalla!
No te sirvi¨® de nada, el disimular
Que s¨®lo charlaban, no mientas mas!
Si me vuelves a llamar, yo te vuelvo a colgar
Ya me cans¨¦ de escuchar, escusas, y m¨¢s mentiras
No me vuelvas a llamar, no te voy a perdonar
Otra oportunidad, no te la doy...
No vales la pena
