"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 passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
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.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III (born January 6, 1979), known as Aloe Blacc (/ˈæloʊ blæk/), is an American soul artist, vocalist, songwriter, actor, record producer, businessman and musician. He is best known for his singles "I Need a Dollar", UK No. 1 single "The Man", and for writing and performing vocals on Avicii's "Wake Me Up", which charted at #1 in 22 countries.
Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III was born in Southern California's Orange County to Panamanian parents. Growing up in Laguna Hills, he began playing a rented trumpet in third grade. When it made more sense to buy the instrument, Blacc had what he later described as a "very specific moment" in his evolution as a musician. "It forced me to be serious about it. I couldn’t just do it to get out of the class room," he said in a 2010 interview. His exposure to LL Cool J in fourth grade was equally significant. "It wasn’t too far off from the trumpet moment...I had a Hip Hop moment and a musician moment."
Blacc attended the University of Southern California, and graduated in 2001. He worked briefly in the corporate sector, for EY.
Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, investor, record, film, and television producer. Born in the South Jamaica neighborhood of the borough of Queens, Jackson began selling drugs at age twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. Although he left drug-dealing to pursue a musical career, he was struck by nine bullets in a 2000 shooting. After Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, he was discovered by Eminem and signed by Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.
With the aid of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the world's best selling rappers and rose to prominence with East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he leads de facto). In 2003 he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit associates Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success with his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. He released his fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and is working on his sixth studio album: Street King Immortal, scheduled for release in 2016.

The Rocksmith Fall 2010 lookbook commercial "I'm the Man" takes place on an upbeat early autumn afternoon in the trains and streets of Brooklyn. Fourteen of downtown NYC's most notorious nightlife lurkers and DJs get together to do absolutely nothing. Of the Rocksmith Fall looks featured in this commercial, some of the highlights include the Mic Check Reversible Vest and Flannel with leather detailing. The black Backwoods leather-and-french terry hoodie ties in directly with the patent-and-duck cloth Brooklyn fitted. Two graphic crew necks are featured—the Daftrock and Tokyo Megamix, which feature the standard Rocksmith front pocket. The Rock Solid Chino pants balance out V-neck teas, such as the Getto OG and Shaolin V-neck, worn under the General Steele sweater cardigan. Directed by: L...

if you believe him
When I woke up with the sunlight and dreams echoing through my head
And I heard you breathing softly I remembered the things you said
There is no time, there is no place
That you would rather be
That the good times or hard times as long as you're here with me
Cause I'm the man who holds my ground
I'm the man who sticks around
I'm the man to hold you tight
I'm the man in love with you (with you)
When I lay down and the moon is bright at the end of a working day
Got a feeling I believe it and I won't let it slip away
There is no time, there is no place
That you would rather be
In the cruel world on a cold night as long you're here with me
I'm the man who holds my ground
I'm the man who sticks around
I'm the man to hold you tight
Cause I'm the man in love
And I'm the man to make it right
And I'm the man you kiss goodnight
I'm the man who won't let you down
Cause I'm the man in love with you (with you)
Cause it can't get much better
And all we have is time
As long as we're together
I know it's gonna be alright
Cause I'm the man who holds my ground
I'm the man who sticks around
I'm the man to hold you tight
Cause I'm the man in love with you
And I'm the man to make it right
And I'm the man you kiss goodnight
I'm the man who won't let you down
Cause I'm the man in love with you
With you
With you
