With a bluesy, R&B-inspired backing track unlike most of his other heavy electronic songs, grandson’s Bury Me Face Down offers up a groove with all the same political implications of his other music.
The gently-provocative song was released near the end of 2016, a year notable for high tensions...
Bury Me Face Down Lyrics
[Chorus]
When I go into the ground
I won't go quietly, I'm bringin' my crown
When I go into the ground
Oh, they gotta bury me, bury me face down
[Verse 1]
From the rubble, what do I see?
There's a whole damn army thinkin' that they're gonna harm me
Say goodnight, I'll never get free
Oh, I got troubles that won't let me be
But I won't get tired, set the town on fire
'Till my troubles got trouble with me
[Refrain]
Thinkin' that they've won
It's only just begun
[Chorus]
When I go into the ground
I won't go quietly, I'm bringin' my crown
When I go into the ground
Oh, they gotta bury me, bury me face down
[Verse 2]
I've been on the run
Since I was a boy
But now I'm done runnin', got another thing comin'
Watch my enemies get destroyed
Oh, I've got troubles of more than one kind
But I never sleep, gotta bury me six feet deep
Where the sun don't shine
[Refrain]
Thinkin' that they've won
It's only just begun
[Chorus]
When I go into the ground
I won't go quietly, I'm bringin' my crown
When I go into the ground
Oh, they gotta bury me, bury me face down
[Bridge]
I've been counted out, left for dead
Wanted with a bounty on my head
But somehow, someway, I'm-a keep movin' along, movin' along
Been counted out, left for dead
Wanted with a bounty on my head
But somehow, someway, I'ma keep movin' along, along
[Refrain]
Thinkin' that they've won
It's only just begun
[Chorus]
When I go (When I go)
Into that ground (Into that ground)
I won't go quietly (Won't go quietly)
I'm bringin' my crown (Bringin' my crown)
And when I go into the ground (into that ground)
Oh, they gotta bury me (bury me)
Bury me face down (bury me face down)
Oh, they gotta bury me
Bury me face down
