Prince - Face Down Lyrics






(Dead like Elvis) [sample repeated in song]
Check, check, 1 2, check
U know what he's sayin'?

Face down! [x2]

Somebody once told him that he wouldn't take Prince through the ringer
Let him go down as a washed up singer
Ain't that a bitch?
Thinkin' all along that he wanted 2 be rich
Never respected the root of all evil and he still don't 2 this day, huh
Bury him face down, let the motherfuckers kiss a ass, OK?

Face down! [x2]

Told 'em he wanted 2 sing a song about a black child goin' buck wild
And they just laughed in his face
Talk 2 your lawyer but U got no case
What U need 2 do is keep your place
Next time U pull a card, it better be a ace motherfucker
Or U can lay face down (Face down!)

1 2
Face down! 1 2

Horn [x2]
Bass [x2]

Him and her meaning who I'm singin' about
And his psychoanalyst kinda saw the catalyst
As the devil with the blue jeans on, huh
Ain't it kinda funny when U see the dawn?
Sign the name they gave ya
But when them motherfuckers turn around ass up, U're what?

Face down! 1 2
Face down! New Power Generation in the house, bury 'em all
Face down! Yes, oh Lord
Face down!

Orchestra [x3]
Face down!
Orchestra
Face down!

It's in his will, I read it
He shot 2 kill, he said it
4 those who know the number and don't call
Huh, fuck all y'all

Face down! [x3]

    The backdrop of the song is a pretty cool story on how this song became to be. Incredible! Gone too soon. I love and miss you PRINCE! WE WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

  23. S.... Y....

    The only criticism of The Great Prince to this day that I personally have is he violated the most sacred commandment 'Be Fruitful and multiply he left no male heir."

  24. C.... M....

    He will always be a legend!!! I grew up listening to him and I am a 80's baby, so KUDOS TO HIM!!!! This is a alter ego thing, so" YOU GO GANGSTA!!!!!!

  25. A.... m....

    O i lovr my guitar

    Im glad he stopped swearing.

  27. S.... X....

    Prince- if I stopped swearing ,everybody will stop too

  28. B.... N....

    the MUsic as AllWays is kicking, he Could play the violin....sax, not so much~what concerned B about this cut is Being buried face down is a curse in some traditions so your Spirit will never return...that leaves my Soul crying 😢

  34. T.... ....

    It's got awesome synth going on and creative lyrics, something I haven't seen much out of Prince except for his songs from Purple Rain. I can get this and clean it up a bit and it's a good song

  35. C.... B....

    💜🕊💜🕊💜🕊💜🕊💜🕊💜🕊💜

  36. R.... G....

  37. h.... ....

    I knew Prince was trying to learn to rap at some point

  38. B.... B....

    The only rap i ever liked!!! Prince did it his way!!! Funky!!!

  39. F.... A....

    Prince 2019 - forever ❤

  40. D.... H....

    "GENIUS"-Prince rappin' sooo LEGENDARY

  41. G.... W....

    I wish the ending of this video was real life!!!

    G.... W....

    I keep secretely hoping. I know it's not but I kind of still hope it is.

  42. W.... K....

    What a prince video on YouTube. That would not happen if he was still alive.

  43. S.... G....

    OMG! Thought I'd heard everything this great man had did & then this!

  44. B.... T....

    My least favorite Prince era. Hands down. And he agreed. Too angry. Contrasted with the Black Album(still musical and well as raunchy) this era is a no go for me.

  45. L.... ....

    No Prince, you ain’t hard. Prince was at his best when he still had something to prove and wasn’t fully intoxicated by the drug of his ego.

  46. i.... X....

    PRINCE 💜 Rogers Nelson.
    No 1 on the face of the Earth is a better performer.
    🙏🏻

  47. M.... L....

    Shout out to all the people claiming there was never an MJ/ Prince beef. The song "Pope" is also directed to MJ. ("You can be the King but I'm the Pope") #ThePurpleOne

    M.... L....

    The lyric is you can be the president I'd rather be the pope. Now if you wanna fuel beef he said in my name is prince "you must become a prince before you're king anyway"

    M.... L....

    @vanitysmirror ...How do you explain the "Face Down" video?...Who is in the coffin?#Checkmate

    M.... L....

    @vanitysmirror There are 2 versions of "Pope" The first one says "Kang"... the single version says "President"...so.

    M.... L....

    @vanitysmirror I did catch the king line in "My Name Is"...I actually forgot about that.

  48. K.... K....

    Prince came with bars.

  49. A.... S....

    I want prince's confidence and talent.

  50. B.... M....

    How would you rate this video from 1 to 10?...15

  51. 0.... 0....

    Face Down So All You MF can Kiss my Ass at my Funeral!
    I LIKE!
    GIVING ME IDEALS!

  52. B.... R....

  54. A.... M....

    🗣When I say COMEBACK you say Prince!

  55. A.... M....

    If I could just watch Prince all day I would do it Lord. He's like a drug I'm addicted to, I can't get enough of him. Really I can't. 🕊🕊💜💜☔️Rest my love! Peace Your Sexiness and please please baby be wild.

    A.... M....

  56. A.... M....

    Scarecrow head ass playing that violin LMAO! God I love this man! Prince come back. 🙏 Please I miss u. I love this music video too.

  57. F.... E....

    They need to release a Bluray of all his videos. That would be a fantastic collection.......someone make it happen ❤👀

  58. k.... ....

    Next time you pull a card it'd better be a Ace mothafucka or you can lay FACEDOWN

  59. C.... R....

    Hold on to your wigs

  60. d.... ....

    I wish the plot of this video is what really happened when Prince died. I wish he could have seen how much the entire world poured out its collective heart in losing him. Maybe it would have helped him overcome his pain. But, yet again, maybe not. At least he is now pain free and in a better place.

  61. T.... A....

    Not sure I dig this song...however,the delivery is,Badasss!!!

  62. C.... T....

    TEMAZO!!!!

  63. L.... A....

    Hell got damn his rap sounds better than a lotta these youngsters now a days to me.

  64. K.... ....

    I think this was a cheap shot at MJ...Now the joke is on prince...

  65. b.... ....

    LOVE THAT TRACK!!!! We miss you everyday brother! Prince was the one!

  66. S.... C....

    An man doesn't write the lyrics "it's in his will I read it" and not have a will!

  67. M.... P....

    So cool! Cute video in a way only Prince could do. He certainly wasn't afraid to speak up and knew how to get back at his haters in a song.

  68. r.... r....

    He was the baddest mother fucker out there!

  69. E.... A....

    Never heard this song before.

  70. K.... G....

  80. D.... C....

    Prince got back to his black roots on this one..Rest in Heaven 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜!

  81. S.... B....

    If this has already been mentioned, I am sorry. After viewing (and laughing..love you Prince) so many eerie things popped out at me.

    The 2 girls dancing had the same outfits and dance moves as TLC used in the Whitney Houston video I'm Every Woman. Left Eye and Whitney are gone.
    The rapper is an identical image to Tupac Shakur, down to the car part in the video.
    You knew Prince.

  82. F.... M....

    Oh lord how I love this song #warnergetsthebigfu lol

  83. A.... R....

    This goes out to my old job and my ex boss thanks Prince love u❤

  84. H.... M....

    me pout

  85. J.... W....

    Never saw that one before. It was tight. It was great. Loved very sec. Wish it was longer, much longer.

  86. N.... M....

    What is this song about? Who’s he singing about?

  87. C.... M....

    When did he record this?

  88. E.... ....

    Oh goodness I love and miss this man! The sexiness, the talent, the humor a real treat to love and appreciate not only him but his music as well.

  89. L.... R....

    Damn he really could do anything

  90. D.... J....

    Dang, I didn’t know Prince payed the saxophone! 🤯 Awesome!!!

  91. g.... a....

    i wish him Heaven. I wish they hadn't done him in.

  92. D.... ....

    💜😻💜

  93. E.... M....

    He was found face down after being murdered by a slew of thieves in the temple

  94. p.... ....

    Prince on the violin :)

  95. S.... W....

    This period will always have a special place in my heart. I was 18 when this album came out and had been obsessed with Prince for years. Now I’m . . . do the math . . . still obsessed.

  96. C.... K....

    2019 And the Purple Ones Diss song is still relevant!

    Who still here??

  97. N.... M....

    Prince can play every music instrument out there...plus he ain't dead fake his own death just like Elvis Presley did back in aug16 1977.. But for different reasons I'm sure ..it's just time to retire that's it ..not dead...he gave the world 40years of beautiful music and his beautiful self ...time to retire...

  98. G.... P....

    One of my top 5 favorite Prince songs

  99. B.... L....

    He is dead like Elvis, at the end of this video you can see he is a visitor of his own funeral. He signed his name they gave him, then the moth.f came. He telling everybody in plain sight. Why nobody see this. He escaped from this rat race. Period. He deserved that. Have a normal live with Vanity and enough money till they really die. The media is fake news.
