Okay...I suspected that you might not get that...

"The Man" is a reference to those that hold the power, or the structure of power. For example..."The Man is trying to hold me back." The simple translation of this is, "Those that are in power don't want me to succeed."

The phrase was apparently originated in the 1960s by African Americans.
