Face Down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

It amazes me, all the things that we’ll do to get it

Talk about it a little, next thing forget it

It’ll rule your whole life if you let it

I don’t believe that it’s only every 6 seconds

Constant drones for those with testosterone

You know that a dog's gotta chase his bone

Wherever it’s thrown, however far from home

You need to lay down, face down

Once blood starts flowin’, and hair starts growin’

And curves start showin’, and we get our toe in

Jump in with both feet, so deep we nearly drown

Got nothing to say unless it’s around

Chasin’ it, gettin’ it, tastin’ it, excellent

Look how I’m flexin’ it

Every endeavor becomes just another clever way to lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

I’m not sure if women know the things men do

Maybe you do and you’re just the same too

But it’s the only reason we go to the gym

Get a trim, and try to better him

It’s why we study, just to get money

So when we step to you, you won’t look at us funny

Even the stealin’ and drug dealers

The pressure to just look appealin’

So you can look our way and we can get the feelin’

And what do you think is the motivation?

Why a man will take another man’s nation?

Same struggle, just on a bigger level

For us fellas, this is our peacock feathers

And I’m not saying that women are to blame

I’m just sayin’ if you didn’t give us any less to change

We’d change very quickly

Believe what I’m sayin’, maybe you’re the same

It’s always on the brain

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

And don’t get me wrong, I ain’t knockin’ a bit of fun

I’m just sayin’ when you’ve got a million sons

All over the gaffe and you don’t see one

You have to ask yourself, is it really fun?

How many homes you broke

Because the little head was stronger than the bigger head?

Ain’t enough we gotta get a bigger bed?

And I ain’t sayin’ I’m better, fellas I’m never

I’m sayin’ imagine we use that energy instead of just-

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

All of the things that we will do

Is all we try to get with you

And all the nonsense that we say

In the hope that you will look our way

All day every day, it’s on our mind

And when we stray we pay the price

But we take a chance and roll the dice

And we just end up

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down

Lay down, face in the dirt

From the waist down, chasin' the skirt

Since the playground, sucka for a flirt

Now ya lay down, face down
