Aceyalone Lyrics

Right there...cool
Acknowledging the presence of someone

Come here
Inviting someone over for a conversation

Let me holler at you face to face
Asking for a direct, personal communication

See ace been place to place
The artist has traveled to many locations

I seen a million of em
The artist has encountered countless people

They look at me for a split second
People only give a brief glance to the singer

Then they grin, never to be seen again
People quickly move on and forget the singer

But it`s locked in, so I can read every line
The artist remembers every face they encounter

Its written all over your upside down mind
The face tells a story about the person's mindset

With an upside down smile
The expression on the face contradicts its true meaning

Whoops upside your head, well hey now
A playful expression when pointing out someone's mistake

I never forget a face, especially your`s
The artist remembers everyone's face, including the person they are speaking to

Because the mirror is the only dimension without flaws
The singer only sees their own face in the mirror, which they believe is perfect

I look out till again
The singer observes people around them

And then begin to look out for the faces of men
The singer is interested in people's faces and what they represent

Cause I done been face to face with a serpent
The artist has met people who are not trustworthy, like a snake

Demon is the same think it is when it ain't
People can be deceptive and pretend to be something they are not

White like snow or black like coal
Faces come in different skin colors

Yellow like the moon and red(read) like a book
Faces have different colors and expressions

To live or die is the plot but the face is the hook
The face is the key to understanding a person's story

So meet the face from left field
Introducing a person with an unusual face

3 eyes two ears one nose and a grill, but still remain faceless
Describing an unusual face that still has meaning and identity

I seen plenty of em
The singer has encountered many faces

But don`t let the face fool ya
Looks can be deceiving, don't judge a book by its cover

There`s so many of em, but still remain faceless
Despite the many faces the singer sees, some have no meaning or identity

So can I take a poloroid? -say cheese-
Asking to take a photo of the person's face

Of the face that got you employed -please-
Asking for a photo of the face that helped the person get their job

Same face your momma enjoyed as a boy
The person's face reminds the artist of when they were a child

Will be the same face that will get you destroyed
Your actions will affect how people perceive your face

Now you got to face the facts, face the music
Accept the consequences of your actions

You cannot about face it and turn back when you abuse it
You cannot undo the damage done to your reputation by your actions

So wisdoms use it wise, bat thoses eyes, show them teeth
Use your face in a smart and strategic way to communicate effectively

Lick them lips even powder them cheeks
Preparing one's face for effective communication

So while your passin`, I'm askin` myself
The artist is observing people's faces and reflecting on their meaning

I wonder if she knows what I`m looking at
Pondering whether the person understands the meaning behind their face

Well look at that, a face that got me looking back
The artist is intrigued by a person's face and its meaning

I can see the history in your bone structer
The physical structure of a person's face can reveal their personal history

I can see the misery in your frown
The expression on a person's face can reveal their emotional state

So smile now and cry later
Put on a happy face now, and deal with your problems later

Or just walk around with the face of a clown and still remain faceless
The artist is commenting on how people can hide their true emotions behind a cheerful facade

Do you know how far a face can take you?
Your face can influence how successful you are in life

It can make you or break you, or inflate you
Your face can have a powerful impact on your life

They`re either going to love you or hate you
People often have a strong emotional response to a person's face

Or never notice you if you`re a face they don`t relate to
If your face doesn't fit people's expectations, they may not notice you

You fear my face, don`t want to get near my face
People may be intimidated by the artist's face

You get judged by your mug, they didn`t hear your case
People make quick judgments based on your appearance, without considering your true character

Now face the wall -face the wall!-
A command to look at the wall and reflect on one's actions

Your face is against the law
The artist is referring to an unjust law that discriminates against certain types of faces

You look at me I look at y`all
The singer is observing the faces of those around them

I recelect everything I saw in the face of the prowl
The singer remembers the faces of those who were watching them closely

But I'm just another face in the crowd -just another face in the crowd-
The singer is acknowledging their own face as being ordinary or unremarkable

To figure that at face value is not allowed
The artist is warning not to make assumptions based solely on their appearance

Tell it to my face, and tell it to me now
The artist wants people to be honest and direct with them

Tryin` to mad dog, but you got the face of a puppy dog
The singer is using a metaphor to say someone is trying to be tough, but is not intimidating

Like a puppet, just like a baby doll
The singer is referencing how a person's face can appear controlled or manipulated

Ain`t that right baby face? cutie pie?
The artist is using terms of endearment to address a person with a youthful or attractive face

And then scarface replied I was born with a face I can`t hide
Referencing the movie character Scarface, the artist is saying their face is a reflection of their true identity, something they cannot change

-a face I can`t hide- a face full of pride
The artist's face is a reflection of their pride and self-confidence

A face that`s been denide on sight
The singer has experienced discrimination based on their appearance

I reconize the face but the name slips by
The artist remembers the face of a person, but cannot recall their name

But still your not faceless
Despite appearing forgettable, the person still has meaning and identity behind their face

Yo
A casual expression to end the song
