Faces
Ed Sheeran Yelawolf Lyrics

Faces change
People's appearances may alter over time

But this place'll stay the same
This location will remain unchanging

And I'll know
And I'll understand

When I'll go
When I leave

And I'm pickin' up another bag
I'm grabbing another piece of luggage

And I pack another knapsack
And I fill up another backpack

The airport's like a stop light to me
I view the airport as if it were a traffic signal

Sittin' on red, green light go
Waiting for the opportunity to depart

Can't see my family
I'm unable to see my relatives

My family grew into a global trance
My relatives became a worldwide phenomenon

Or fans, some may call 'em
Or they may be referred to as fans

And it's on the stage I stand
I perform on the stage

To jam Roxy, no wakin' up to stop the dream
To play at Roxy and never awaken from this dream

I lived the life, signed a picture
I lived the celebrity lifestyle, autographed a photo

'Cause no dam could stop the stream
Because no dam could impede the flow

Or flood gates, I'm in the fuck trades
Or floodgates, I'm in the entertainment industry

And a pocket fulla culture condoms
And carrying numerous cultural barriers

They put you on the podium for first place
They place you on the winner's podium

But on the block, they judge you on 'em
But in the neighborhood, they evaluate you based on your actions

So
Therefore

Who got the South in a six pack, and a shotgun just for show?
Who owns a six-pack and a shotgun in the South just as a display?

I'll put the white boys back in gold teeth
I'll make white boys sport gold teeth again

Put the hood in mossy oak
Make the neighborhood have a camouflaged appearance

I'm the
I am

Child of a deadbeat, so I gotta give the beat some life
Offspring of an unreliable parent, so I have to infuse energy into the rhythm

Beat me down with criticism, but at least the critic's write
Critique me harshly but at least the critic actually writes about me

With a broken pen, there they go again
Using a defective pen, they begin anew with criticism

I'm a token man, I'm a rollin' jam
I'm an emblematic individual, I'm a traveling performance

Like a rollin' stone, I'm closin' in
Similar to a rolling stone, I'm getting closer

I'm goin' home, I'm home again
I'm returning home, I'm home again

Bring it back up in the UK
Bringing it back to the UK

With a Dixie flag and a sixteen pack
With a Dixie flag and a six pack of beer

Catfish Billy, hell, you say
Catfish Billy, you're suggesting

I'm just bein' blunt, homie
I'm just being straightforward, friend

Keep the grass
Maintain the deception

You changed me
You have altered me

Into what I am now
Into what I am currently

You made me
You've caused me to become

It was something I was always gonna be
It was something I was always destined to be

It seems these broken dreams don't lie
It appears that these shattered aspirations are truthful

And so now my broken wings will fly
And so now, my damaged wings will soar

Yeah, take one look
Yes, take a single glance

Better yet, take two
Even better, take a second gaze

But if I take that break, there's a move you made
But if I stop, there's a maneuver you'll make

This dude you shape will come take you back
This person you've influenced will come retrieve you

Back to the roots I've been
Back to the origins I originated from

Without a fuckin' pot to pee in
Without any money

Or a spot to sleep in
Or a place to sleep

Hot or cold outside, it's not the season
Whether it's hot or cold outside, it doesn't matter

'Cause I am not the reason
Because I'm not the cause

That the image you're used to seein'
That the image you're accustomed to seeing

Is usually being fake, so to me the hate is meaningless
Is frequently insincere, therefore the animosity directed toward me is unimportant

Meaning yes, I'm different
Meaning that yes, I'm unique

Differently made
Created differently

And me screamin' the A
And me yelling the letter A

Is not the difference in grades
Isn't the distinction between letter grades

It's the place I stayed
It's where I resided

'Cause the schools were underpaid
Because the schools weren't receiving enough financial support

The teachers taught, but to me they fought
The teachers tried to instruct, but to me, they utilized aggression

A star that was underway
A celebrity just starting to gain notoriety

It was under Wayne, it was in my name
It was under Lil Wayne, it was linked to me

Michael
Referring to Michael Wayne Atha's real name

M.W.A
An abbreviation of Michael Wayne Atha

Atha
Referring to Michael Wayne Atha's real surname

And in trouble I stayed
And I consistently encountered difficulties

Breakin' out of this bubble they made
Escaping from the constraints they put me in

Played with the dice, but I rolled that seven
Gambled, but I got lucky and attain a seven

And I'll go back to heaven in a Chevrolet
And I will return to glory in a Chevrolet car

Fuck the world with a tattooed hand
Defy the entire world with a hand filled with tattoos

Committed to the words I say
Dedicated to my spoken promises

A blood line's not a family tree
A biological lineage isn't equivalent to a family tree

It's a needle in my skin for all to see
It's a tattoo on my skin that everyone can observe

I ain't never got a spring break tattoo drunk
I never got a tattoo while drunk on spring break

But I drink and take the ink
But I consume alcohol and then get a tattoo
