Face Down
Onyx Lyrics

Yo FUCK THAT word up man! (Word to mother yo)
Expression of frustration and anger

Who you runnin wit? (AFFICIAL NAST!)
Asking about the group or crew the person is associated with

Fuck that, who you runnin wit? (AFFICIAL NAST!)
Asserting the importance and loyalty to the AFFICIAL NAST crew

Yo I'm goin straight for your head to leave you headless
Intending to attack or destroy someone without mercy

Eyes of redness, I spray rap cats, to burn the lead tips
Using powerful and impactful lyrics to destroy opponents

Point blank range, I take aim, blow your brain out the frame
Targeting and eliminating the opponent with precise and deadly force

Eight shots'll touch ya, spit ya physical structure
Causing significant harm and damage to the opponent

Motherfucker this is lyrical destruction
Asserting the power and impact of their rap skills

Path of disaster face Nast, comin at cha full blast
Approaching the opponent with full force and aggression

And capture grabs your last, breath like the asthma
Taking away the opponent's last breath and leaving them breathless

Couldn't care less, you approachin near death
Showing no concern for the opponent's well-being

My hollow tips, rip into your vest politic, with the fearless
Using powerful ammunition to penetrate the opponent's defenses

The devil himself, a rebel in himself
Referring to oneself as a dangerous and rebellious individual

Trapped in America, assassinate your character, slaughter ya
Destroying the opponent's reputation and causing great harm

Twenty more holes, in your Nautica, FUCK ALL OF YA!
Causing significant damage and destruction to the opponent

What?! Bringin MC's, YEAH, callin ya
Challenging and taunting other rappers

Livin like a nigga with six months to live
Living recklessly and fearlessly

On the edge of life, wouldn't think twice, to make a SACRIFICE
Willing to make sacrifices and take risks

Do a heist, ya niggaz ain't true to life, my whole crew is trife!
Engaging in criminal activities and asserting the loyalty of one's crew

So bring your wildest nigga reppin for your team
Challenging the opponent's toughest and most loyal member

Tear his ass to his spleen, this is Suicide Queens
Causing extreme harm and destruction, representing the dangerous nature of the group

Where gats bust, cutthroat, cross collateral
Engaging in violent and ruthless actions

Gat'll shatter you, feel the pain, it's unimaginable
Using firearms to inflict severe pain and suffering

Self shit, straight from the hood, the dirty black shit
Proudly representing their roots and coming from a rough environment

Rap shit, get your back ripped, plus the gat spit
Inflicting harm through lyrics and using firearms

Load it and cock it bag, on thirty-two tracks
Prepared and ready to attack on multiple songs

Murder you in raps, let my wild dogs bust the CATS!
Destroying opponents verbally and using the support of their crew

Styles leave the best dead, I stay breast-fed
Having superior rap skills and being constantly nurtured and supported

And when I die, be handcuffed, to my deathbed
Being metaphorically tied to their passion and art until the end

{*scratched "face down on the pavement" -> LL Cool J*}
Reference to LL Cool J's song and emphasizing the violent and aggressive nature

Sticky Fingaz sneak up, when you least expect it
Approaching someone unexpectedly and catching them off guard

I never fuck pussy that's yeast infected
Not involving oneself with undesirable and problematic individuals

Fuck a brain fry, make me think irrational
Not caring about consequences and acting impulsively

If I even think you schemin, YOU KNOW I'M BLASTIN YOU
Reacting violently and aggressively towards potential threats

I'm too raw; what is you - out you gourd?
Asserting dominance and superiority over others

I cut through any challenger, top notch or amateur
Easily defeating and surpassing all opponents, regardless of their skill level

You'd rather be in the projects butt-ass with a hundred G's cash
Preferring a dangerous and risky lifestyle with money over messing with Sticky Fingaz

and no gun, than to fuck with Sticky, Fredro 'n Son
Acknowledging the dangerous and unpredictable nature of their crew

You lookin at one desperate nigga, you shouldn't mess with
Warning others about the desperation and ruthlessness within them

I had a doctor scared to remove a bullet from yo' intestine
Causing fear and intimidation, even among professionals

'Member when I tested, this nigga manhood
Challenging and questioning the opponent's masculinity and courage

to see if he was a true nigga, so I pulled out my gun
Testing the opponent's loyalty and authenticity through a display of weapons

Gave some dramatic ass speech then, pulled the trigger
Adding flair and theatrics before taking action

{*CLICK*} Ha hah! Barrel empty, joke on you Jack
Revealing that the gun was unloaded, mocking the opponent's fear

He cold pissed his pants, blew his cover, he a New Jack
Causing the opponent to reveal their fear and vulnerability

You know where I'm comin from, most my niggaz pump 'n jump
References to their background and associates who engage in violence

And when it's time to dump and run, I never jump the gun
Showing bravery and not acting prematurely

or get cold feet, I hold heat
Not backing down or being afraid, always ready for action

why'a niggaz don't know me; in six hours I made up four years
Making significant progress and accomplishments in a short amount of time

Got high shit for your ears;
Having impressive and captivating music for listeners

sorry somethin that I never felt yo, fingertips made of Velcro
Expressing regret for not being able to relate to certain emotions, metaphorically sticking to what they know

You talkin shit like it's a little game
Responding to someone who is underestimating the seriousness of the situation

That's now how we get down - 'beef' is my middle name
Explaining their involvement in conflicts and confrontations

So don't die over nonsense, I ain't got no conscience
Warning not to engage in senseless violence and displaying a lack of remorse

Come out your face you gettin shot
Responding aggressively to someone who confronts or disrespects them

Everything I'm spittin hot - I need fame without the bread
Desiring recognition and success without being driven solely by money

like I need a hole in the head
Not needing something that would be detrimental or unnecessary

Add insult to injury, you can't fuck with me
Further demeaning and degrading the opponent, asserting superiority

Guess that's not your cup of tea - I'm every star I meet
Implying that they are better and more successful than any other artist they come across

If you are what you eat, fuck the rookies, rejects
Dismissing and disrespecting inexperienced and inferior individuals

plainclothes and detect's
Showing no fear or respect for authority figures

I had a hard life, grew up too quick
Expressing the challenges and hardships faced throughout their life

But kept it tight with my true click, startin a new flip
Staying loyal to their close group and embracing new opportunities

Fuck you frontin for? I seen your bag
Challenging someone's false front or deception by exposing their true nature

with your tail between your leg
Demonstrating how the opponent is intimidated and submissive

Afficial Nast in the house that mean you DEAD!
Asserting the presence of the AFFICIAL NAST crew and the potential harm it represents

{*scratched "face down on the pavement" -> LL Cool J*}
Referencing LL Cool J's song and reinforcing the violent and aggressive nature

You takin a RIDE, in the ambulance, you catch mad damages
Threatening severe harm and injury to the opponent

Cock the hammer shit, leave you Los(t) like Angeles
Using a firearm to cause chaos and destruction

You ain't brick, or stucco, or paper machete
Asserting that the opponent is not tough or resilient

Whatever you got, get taken away, YOU'RE BAKIN TODAY
Promising to take away any possessions or status the opponent may have

Trust that, it's time to crush cats, when I bust raps
Expressing confidence in their ability to defeat opponents through their rap skills

I rush tracks, and oft' act, BUCKWILD!
Approaching music with aggression and intensity

Army comin through here nigga, TRUCK STYLE!
Comparing themselves to a powerful and unstoppable force

FUCK YOU! FUCK THE JUDGE! FUCK TRIAL!
Expressing defiance and disregard for authority

I'm givin niggaz shattered egos, I keep foes
Damaging the opponent's pride and maintaining enemies

or a pet bet they small threat, MAKE 'EM EAT THOSE!
Turning the opponent's perceived advantage against them, causing them harm

Deep goes my depth, sleep hoes get wet
Being skilled and dangerous, causing harm even in unexpected situations

If that ain't enough, we come through and hose your shit
Promising even more destruction and chaos if necessary

Hit you with the FIREWORKS, you see the stars BANGIN
Attacking with incredible force and leaving the opponent stunned

I really BANG YOU, and prepare you for God's ANGELS
Causing severe harm, potentially leading to death and divine judgment

It's not on humble, but some shit you can't come through
Expressing arrogance and confidence in their invincibility

Nigga try to blow he gotta go, and now you know
Threatening severe repercussions for those who pose a threat

Experience, from the furious, eeriest
Drawing from personal experiences and channeling intense emotions

Dead serious, hysterias, fillin ya, interior
Being deadly serious and causing great fear and panic

with nervousness, for your services
Creating an anxious and uncertain atmosphere for the opponent

WE CUTTIN OFF YOUR CIRCULATION AND DEADEN YA PURPOSES!
Taking away the opponent's influence and rendering them ineffective

We them niggaz you can't FUCK with, rain or shine
Asserting their unbeatable nature, regardless of the circumstances

All mics I slain yo' kind, changed the mind
Dominating and outperforming other rappers, causing them to reassess their abilities

of those thinkin of playin theyrself, NEXT
Warning those who may try to challenge them to think twice

is ETCHED, in stone, you motherfuckers gettin BLOWN!
Promising the destruction and defeat of the opponent, leaving no room for doubt
