“Say it to my face” deals with the rigors of growing up poor in a rough neighborhood. Taken in a broader sense, it seems to argue that our circumstances – including our class – make us who we are, and that human violence is more a product of circumstances than nature.
[Verse 1]
Thrilla in Manila, Frazier and Ali
A can of olives, bag of chips, a case of Genesee
Daddy's unemployment check is all I got
I need a long sleeve helmet just to cover all my thought
[Pre-Chorus]
Go after the neighbors now, you must protect your home
Tears of rage are streaming down your drunken muzzle
Paranoia foaming from the things your brother stole
If you can intimidate then you can control, oh yeah!
[Chorus]
Say it to my face
Say it to my face you fuckin' coward
Say it to my face
If you're gonna talk you better say it to my face
[Verse 2]
I hearted when you farted, it smelled like rubber bands
Is that the sound of boiling fat or is that clappin' hands?
I'm a little blacker than the other sheep
I dreamed I'ze makin love to dolphins when I'ze
Dumpin' in my sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Go after the neighbors now, you must protect your home
Tears of rage are streaming down your drunken muzzle
Paranoia foaming from the things your brother stole
If you can intimidate then you can control, oh yeah!
[Chorus]
Say it to my face
Say it to my face you fuckin' coward
Say it to my face
If you're gonna talk you better say it to my face
Oh yeah, say it to my face
C-c-c-come on, say it to my face
How now, say it to my face
(Scat break)
I'm in a bad, bad way
I'll find a cow and I'll buck it a rodeo
I'll put your battery on my tongue
I'll fetch a knife and then off with your thumbs!
Head down, head down
Head down, head down, head down, head down
Head down, this man is god, you wanna say it to my face
[Chorus]
Say it to my face you fuckin' coward
Say it to my face
If you're gonna talk you better say it to my...
Face!
