Faces
The McCoys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said girl you look amazing, so why you wanna play this
Game you always play where you act like you wanna save me
Cuz I live on the road so all ya time you spend it chasing
My life is like a movie I see way too many faces
Now that we both standing here it's like your mind is spacing
Cuz we can both agree that there's nobody to replace me
I put pen to page so that nobody can erase me
And imma talk my shit until the officers detain me
Mentally imprisoned like they put me in a box
Imma boss, all my hobbies include paying into stocks
Writing raps, making beats, pit maneuvering a cop
And then terrorize the city just to see how much it costs
Look, I'm bringing it back wit a passion
Most of these rappers you hearing are static
Gotta go get it I meant it they dread it they dead
I think they need go get a casket
Fuck it I'm building it I got the nails
I don’t got love for the homies that bail
If you wasn’t wit it then I isn’t tripping
Cuz there be some bitches that wanna be male
Everybody too sensitive, say a bad word it's evident
Hope that I offended you, cuz you a bitch ass pessimist
Just look at it on the bright side, swear to god that's the right side
And if you don’t believe that then you gettin hit by the blindside
I'm Michael Oher and I'm ballin out
You should make a movie 'bout me
I'm half the weight with like half the size
So I'm not too surprised that you would doubt me
I'm super drowsy, mind truly cloudy
I'm high as fuck and I do it proudly
You off a bar, you used to drowning
I save my money I do accounting
Failed it twice tho, yeah
I'm not the type to sit in class and go and read the bible
Fly with my eyes low, my side got a rifle
I pull it out and them bullets shout when I'm aiming at my rivals
I'm back here again and I'm coming for blood
Pitiful people nobody to love
I'll be runnin' the game let it blow like Hussain
If you get in my way you’ll be nothin but dust
On a sidetone got a side chick and baby girl I'm loving you
Cuz I still got my whole life so I got time to fuck wit you
I said girl you look amazing, so why you wanna play this
Game you always play where you act like you wanna save me
Cuz I live on the road so all ya time you spend it chasing
My life is like a movie I see way too many faces
Now that we both standing here it's like your mind is spacing
Cuz we can both agree that there's nobody to replace me




I put pen to page so that nobody can erase me
And imma talk my shit until the officers detain me
