In Your Face
Defiant Reflections: Unconventional Wisdom in 'In Your Face'
Lyrics
I was barely legal looking for something evil
Expressing a rebellious or provocative attitude during a youthful phase.
To say and people to be antagonized
Seeking confrontations with people and aiming to provoke or annoy them.
And you said to me it's not a good strategy
Receiving advice to abandon the confrontational approach and act more mature.
You should grow up try to act like you're civilized
Encouragement to grow up and behave in a more civilized manner.
I explained that i just valued sincerity
Stating a preference for sincerity over conformity to social expectations.
You should go fuck yourself and then try to die
Responding with a dismissive and defiant remark, rejecting the advice.
You were sick of it and called me an idiot
Being criticized for the attitude and labeled as an idiot.
And left town and said are you satisfied
Resulting in the person leaving town, questioning if satisfaction is achieved.
If i had what you hate i could get you break
Contemplating the potential impact of possessing qualities disliked by others.
No i'm not in your face i'm just getting by
Asserting that the speaker is not deliberately confronting others but merely surviving.
If i had what you hate i could get you break
Reiteration of the idea that having disliked qualities could lead to a breakthrough.
No i'm not in your face i'm just getting by
Emphasizing again that the speaker is not intentionally being confrontational.
Caught a beating but would not be defeated
Having faced challenges but refusing to be defeated by those who don't understand.
By any man who couldn't see i was always right
Defending the belief in always being right, despite facing opposition.
All i said was i don't mean to offend
Expressing an apology for potential offense while insulting the other person.
But you're the dumbest motherfucker i've seen tonight
Labeling someone as foolish but not intending to provoke further.
And though you know you wanna know everything
Acknowledging the desire for knowledge while highlighting a distinct personal style.
I know it's the way i roll you most admire
Recognizing admiration for the speaker's unconventional way of life.
Even if i never think of ever calling you out
Mentioning a reluctance to confront or challenge the person directly.
Am i ready for such a fight?
Pondering readiness for a potential conflict or argument.
If i had what you hate i could get you break
Reiteration of the idea that possessing disliked qualities could lead to a breakthrough.
No i'm not in your face i'm just getting by
Reasserting that the speaker is not intentionally confronting others but surviving.
If i had what you hate i could get you break
Reiteration of the potential breakthrough through possessing disliked qualities.
No i'm not in your face i'm just getting by
Emphasizing once more that the speaker is not intentionally being confrontational.
