"Face Down" from the Emancipation CDs
Walking alone in the dark, I see nothing u see
I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
We only want everyday 2 b a Cosmic Day

Face Down

(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
Hmph, fuck all y'all

Face down! {x3}

It may have been,but I think he was asking for the songs of some specific lyrics.

True. I stated my response wrong. I meant; the first single after the break up was Lala Means I Love U, I think. I am still too lazy to look it up.

The first single from Emancipation shipped to radio only was "Betcha By Golly Wow!" in 1996.

I always thought "Somebody's Somebody" was the first single from Emancipation...
Ooh, little darlin' if you're

If U ain't busy 4 the next 7 years (Next 7 years)
Say, let's pretend we're married and go all night

That just accompanied The Holy River as b-side with loads of different versions...

Face Down only was a promo, also with a mix and the vocal only track of the song, if I am not mistaking, which i do alot, as you can tell from this thread.
