A few months ago, or maybe it was years
It was a heart break and so many tears
I should gonna make it out here on my own
A body like that should never be alone
A kiss on the stairways, another man's embrace
How was she know what was just taking place?
Too busy with the jugular and how it taste
To remember what she saw in the X's face
The X's face, the X's face

Long time ago, or maybe yesterday
You and I, in chariots on our way
Proper celebration for what we've learned
But for every battle won, there are scars and burns
For every broken heart, there's another will mend
Who needs enemies when you got friends?
For every open door there's something in the way
Last time we checked it was the X's face
The X's face
Everybody know about the X's face
Black don't crack
Bass don't bate
Go and take that banana
and get back in your cage
Ooh ooh ohh
The X's face, the X's face
The X's face
