The Faces - Aceyalone

Come here

Let me holler at you face to face

See Ace been place to place

I seen a million of 'em

They look at me for a split second

Then they grin, never to be seen again

But it’s locked in, so I can read every line

Its written all over your upside down mind

With a upside down smile

Whoops upside your head, well hey now

I never forget a face, especially yours

Because the mirror is the only dimension without flaws

I look out to look in

And then begin to look out for the faces of men

Cause I done been face to face with a serpent

Demon and a saint, think it is when it ain’t

White like snow or black like coal

Yellow like the moon and red (read) like a book

To live or die is the plot but the face is the hook

So meet the face from left field

3 eyes, two ears, one nose and a grill, but still remains faceless.

Oh yea

Let me holler at you face to face

See Ace been place to place

I seen plenty of 'em

But don’t let the face fool ya

There’s so many of 'em, but still remain faceless

So can I take a poloroid?

-say cheese-

Of the face that got you employed -please-

Same face your momma enjoyed as a boy

Will be the same face that’ll get you destroyed

Now you got to face the facts, face the music

You cannot about face it and turn back when you abuse it

So wisdoms use it wise, bat thoses eyes, show them teeth

Lick them lips even powder them cheeks

So while your passin', I’m askin' myself

I wonder if she knows what I’m looking at

Well look at that, a face that got me lookin' back

I can see the history in your bone structure

I can see the misery in your frown

So smile now and cry later

Or just walk around with the face of a clown and still remain faceless

I said smile now and cry later

Or just walk around with the face of a clown and still remain faceless

Do you know how far a face can take you?

It can make you or break you, or inflate you

They’re either going to love you or they hate you

Or never notice you if you’re a face they don’t relate to

You fear my face, don’t wanna get near my face

You get judged by your mug, they didn’t hear your case

Now face the wall (face the wall!)

Your face is against the law

You look at me I look at y’all

I recollect everything I saw in the face of the foul

But I’m just another face in the crowd (just another face in the crowd)

To take it at face value is not allowed

Tell it to my face, and tell it to me now

Tryin' to mad dog, but you got the face of a puppy dog

Like a puppet, just like a baby doll

Ain’t that right baby face?

Cutie pie?

Good lookin'?

Twinkle in your daddy’s eye?

And then Scarface replied I was born with a face I can’t hide

(A face I can’t hide) a face full of pride

A face that’s been denied on sight

I recognize the face but the name slips by

But still you’re not faceless

Yo
