Face à Face
D.Dy Lyrics

In your face, all the time
I'm always present and noticeable.

All in your face when I'm kickin' my rhyme
I am very straightforward and direct when I am rapping.

All these faces in front of me
There are a lot of people watching me perform right now.

Face to face with Run-D.M.C
I am directly interacting with the famous rap group Run-D.M.C.

Knuckleheads in my face for a second
Some people are trying to bother me for a brief moment.

But I move the crowd, and I reckon
My performance is captivating and I can see the audience responding.

That a sucker might jump and try to bait
There might be someone foolish enough to try and start trouble with me.

So kill that noise and get out my face (punk)
Stop making noise and leave me alone before you get into trouble.

And let a real MC collect dollars
I am a true rapper who deserves to earn a lot of money for my talents.

The true crew and few come from Hollis, Queens
My group of talented rappers is from the Hollis neighborhood in Queens, New York.

And by all means necessary
We will do whatever it takes to succeed and achieve our goals.

My vocabulary is very extensive, and expensive
I use a lot of advanced and impressive words, which are a valuable part of my talent.

So hard it'll put you in intensive care
My rhymes are so intense that they could cause physical harm to someone.

Proceed with caution
Be careful when dealing with me, I have a lot of power and influence.

Often suckers get lost in the sauce when
Other rappers get too caught up in their own egos and cause trouble.

Faces just start speakin' on faces
People start talking about other people's appearances without any real reason to do so.

And leavin' traces, other races be mocked
People from different ethnic backgrounds are unfairly ridiculed and mistreated.

And it sparks a fight, day and night
These petty disagreements can escalate into more serious conflicts that last all day and night.

Dark and light - different types of faces
People come from different backgrounds and have different physical appearances.

And everywhere you go you see
No matter where you are, there are always other people around you.

As we come back on
Returning to the performance after taking a break.

Facin' this crew, you're facin' your doom
If you try to take us on, you will face your own downfall.

You got punched in the face
We have hit you hard with our music and message.

As soon as you heard this tune!
Our music is so powerful that it hits you immediately and makes an impact.

I race at a pace with no shoelaces
I move quickly and don't need shoes with laces to succeed.

To racist faces, placin' disgraces
People with discriminatory attitudes are shameful and disgraceful.

Taste the bass of the racial facial
Experience the powerful and profound message about race that we are delivering.

Disgraceful tasteless racist faces
People who are racist are both tasteless and disgraceful.

Get out my face, don't bass, don't waste my time
Leave me alone and don't annoy me with meaningless chatter.

My brother, I'm not color blind
I recognize the different races and cultures of the people around me.

I walk the face of the Earth, face death
I am unafraid and willing to take risks no matter where I go.

Face the best and I'll just
I am willing to take on any challenge and compete against the best.

Rip flip and trip won't shut up or let up
I am relentless and won't stop rapping or making music.

Get out my face so we can go head up
Leave me alone so we can face each other in a fair and equal competition.

(Damn D!) Yo yo yo they don't understand me
People often don't understand my unique talent and personality.

(?) when they always try to ban me
People often try to stop or censor me because they find me challenging or threatening.

Hypin' the stereotype of a face
Reinforcing negative stereotypes about certain physical appearances or races.

And that's the problem with the human race
One of the biggest issues facing humanity is prejudice against people who are different from us.

Haste makes waste, don't trace to other places
Acting too quickly or impulsively can lead to mistakes or bad decisions.

We're all the same but with different faces
Despite our different physical appearances or ethnic backgrounds, we are all equal and should be treated as such.

Faces sweatin' you and they sweatin' faces
People are working hard and experiencing stress and anxiety, just like me.

Around around the world, international faces
People from all over the world have different appearances and cultural backgrounds.

Yo, I took a look in the face of a girlie
I met a woman and looked at her face.

The way she looks that Jay must say
I'm often attracted to women based on how they look.

Somethin' bout the way my afro is growin'
This woman seems to be interested in my unique appearance and style.

But is it funky? (YEAH!) Well okay
She thinks my style is cool and interesting.

Is she jockin' my 'fro or my fade?
Is she attracted to me because of my hairstyle?

Do she want me because of my name?
Is she interested in me because of my fame or reputation?

I like the ladies, sweet and serious
I prefer women who are kind and intelligent.

Not those hoes, that plays, the game
I'm not interested in women who are manipulative or dishonest.

On every Tom Dick and Harry
I'm not interested in women who sleep around with a lot of different men.

Shawn Jerry John Nick Curly Moe and Larry
This is a list of common names that could belong to any number of men who might be trying to attract the woman I'm interested in.

You thinkin' you married? Well you CRAZY
You're trying to claim that you're in a committed relationship? That's ridiculous.

My baby you won't carry
You're not the kind of woman I want to be with long-term.

Cause I like a girl that's low-key
I prefer women who are calm and relaxed, not high-maintenance.

That's how it's gotta be to be with me
These are my personal preferences and requirements for a romantic partner.

And I'll take her to all the exotic places
If I meet the right woman, I will show her all the special and unique places I like to visit.

The name of this jam is called FACES
This song is largely about the different appearances and physical characteristics of people.

International faces, I'm a Afro and I'm outta here.
I am embracing the different appearances and cultural backgrounds of people around the world, and am now ending the song.
