In your face all the time All in your face when I'm kickin' my rhyme All these faces in front of me Face to face with Run DMC Faces Faces Faces Faces Knucklehead's in my face for a second But I move the crowd and I reckon that a sucker might jump and try to fake So kill that noise and get outta my face And let a real MC collect dollars The truth doin', few come from Hollis, Queens And by all means necessary My vocabulary is very extensive and extensive So hard t'll put you in intensive care A scene for caution All them suckers get lost in the shufflin' Faces Just start speakin' of faces And leaving traces of a race be marked And the sparks fly day and night dark and light Different types of Faces Ahh, faces faces Faces And everywhere you go you see Faces yeah yeah yeah Faces Break I race at a pace with no shoelaces The race is faces, places, disgraces Taste the taste of the racial facial Disgraceful taste this race is facin' Get outta my face don't base no race for time My brother, I'm no colorblind I walk the face of the earth Face death Face the facts and I'll test Rip lip or trip and I'll test Get out my face or we can go head up DMC No, no, yo! You don't understand me In this land where they always try to ban me Type me the stereotype of a face And that's the problem with the human race Haste makes waste no trace of the faces We're all the same, but with different tastes Faces Faces Faces Faces Faces Yeah, yeah and everywhere I go I see Faces Faces sweatin' you be sweatin' Faces Around around the worl international faces Faces Yeah, now boss you up yours I took a look in the face of a girl The way she looked that day, was sayin' Somethin' 'bout the way my afro's growin' Well is it funky? I don't care Is she jackin' my 'fro or my fame? Do she want me because of my name? I like the ladies sweet and serious Not those 'hos that plays the game On every Tom, Dick and Harry Shawn, Jerry, John, Nick, Curly, Moe and Larry You thinkin' you marry? Well you're crazy? My baby you won't carry 'Cause I like the girl that's low-key That's always gotta be to be with me And I'll take her to all exotic places The name of this jam is called Faces Faces So many faces Faces And everywhere I go I see Faces And everywhere you go you see Faces International faces, I'm the afro and now I'm outta here
