In Yo’ Face Lyrics

[Intro]
In yo' face!
Something special
"Somethin' special for you and yo' face, bitch!"
"Go get 'em, boys."
In yo' face!
Something special
"Exclusive! For you!"
Something exclusive

[Verse 1: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
I pop out the box, swing on a spring
Big Violent J with the axe out, shing!
Trouble we bring, a juggalo thing
Wicked clown with the boom pow bang, in yo' face!
Smash through the glass as the fireworks blast
Shaggy the clown here to murda some ass
I be the strangala! known coast to coast
And I turn any thug into a ghost, in yo' face!

Some scream juggalo only when it's convenient
And no they don't mean it
, we sick of bein' lenient
Step yo' ass back before the hatchet attacks
And you catch a few hacks from the axe, in yo' face!
I crawl like a tarantula on my toes and thumbs
Born to the carnies gypsies and bums
I spit my raps in tongues over voodoo drums
Bitch wicked shit this way comes, in yo' face!

[Chorus]
For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you
In yo' face! For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you, we got this

[Verse 2: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
I was fuckin' this slut up in her dirty ass
Threw the rubber out the window as we drove past
Funny thing I ain't see you standin' on the grass
And it fuckin' stuck to your mustache, in yo' face!
Bang to the pow, wang to the mouth
Boom go the wicked clowns Southwest style
From Pluto to your anus, we underground famous
For doom and 808 bass booms, in yo' face

I shook the hand of Satan wit' a cross in my palm
Burnt all the flesh all the way up his arm
I wasn't scared, I was giddy to do it

Then I lopped his head off and threw it, in yo' face!
Insane Clown Posse never gonna fade
Helped yo' ass get laid back in 8th grade
Many years passed and we still top grade
Blowin' up like a hand grenade, in yo' face!

[Chorus]
For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you
In yo' face! For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you, we got this

[Verse 2: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Billy Bill, Jumpsteady, and Nate the Mack
Down 'til the end and never take it back

I'd die for the Hatchet, he Psychopathic Records boys bumpin'
Wicked shit thumpin', in yo' face!
They all wanna kill us but we already dead
And if they think we'll ever die they severely mislead
Phonies out there posin' as juggalos
But see it as a demographic to push what have it, in yo' face!

Neden- if you ain't down with that, fuck off
I like gettin' my dick sucked, jacked off and salad tossed
Ugly hoes, fine hoes, none go to waste
But for you, herpe meth head anus
, in yo' face!
Mike E. Clark he make the street pound
Legz Diamond, all around in surround sound
One fork up and the other one down
Fuckin' throwin' up the wicked clown, in yo' face!

[Chorus]
For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you
In yo' face! For you
Something special for you
We got you covered, homie
Something exclusive for you, we got this

[Outro]
For you
For you
For you
We got this
For you
For you
For you
In yo' face!

About

Genius Annotation

In Yo Face is the first track and was the first music video from Insane Clown Posse’s 11th full-length LP, the 2009 album “Bang! Pow! Boom!”

This song is not so much deep and insightful as much as it functions as an album opener. It explains that ICP are back and once again bringing their flavor and variety of music, comedy, and darkness that both fans and detractors have enjoyed, or in the case of the latter, hated on for years. Originally titled “Pie In Yo Face” before being re-purposed as a more metaphorical track, this track references many ideas and behaviors that the listener may or may not appreciate – but ICP is hitting them in the face with it regardless.

Although ICP had rekindled their professional relationship with producer Mike E. Clark a few years previous and had begun making music with him again over the previous few years, it was not until this song and album that it was apparent that they were once again gelling well together and making the music reminiscent of their previous collaborations.

This song was very popular and was performed as the opening song on the “Bang! Pow! Boom! Tour” as well as being performed on each subsequent tour since.

Violent J:

This is the album’s official shit talking song. It’s also the albums first full song so what better way to kick it all off than to talk some smack. There’s a couple of heart felt lyrics we put in this song that I really hope people pick up on. For example when I say “Some scream Juggalo only when it’s convenient, and know they don’t mean it, we sick of being lenient.” And when Shaggy says “Phonies out there posing as Juggalos but see it as a demographic to push what have it, in yo face”. Take it how you want to. We know what it means and if any group, rappers, bands or just regular ninjas feel offended by those lyrics it must be because that’s what there doing. This song was originally gonna be called something more along the lines of “Pie In Yo Face” but in the end we dropped the “Pie” and felt just “In Yo Face” was a fresher quote for the song. I really like the bounce of the beat. We’ve always liked to really kick the albums off with a good shit talking song. “The Show Must Go On”, “Hokus Pokus”, “The Juggla” ect. I like yelling on some songs, I feel like I don’t have the best voice when yelling but at least it gives the passion we’re looking for. And of course Shaggy 2 Dope’s yelling voice is absolutely classic. I think the chorus really turned out fresh. It sounds like either a bunch of clowns signing it or maybe a bunch of ladies. To me the hook just sounds original and were mad happy with it. This is a song definetly meant to be rocked up at a high ass volume and also ninjas can expect to hear this bad boy in concert while they receive some two liters in yo face!
