When bass is really loud, you can actually feel it in your chest. But he means to turn it on so much louder that you’ll feel it in your face.
And apart from being physically in your face, the sound will take a direct stab at your dignity, like a bad neighbor turning up the music up to the max, then taunting you with a provocative “In your face”
That’s why rap is lost—fact!

Could be a reference to the Roman presence in Egypt. A legion was a military unit comprised of approximately 6,000 soldiers (further subdivided into cohorts and centuries).
Egypt at this time was a client state of Rome, with Cleopatra using a romantic liaison with Julius Caesar to solidify her grip on the realm (and leverage power over her fraternal co-rulers). Unfortunately for her, upon his assassination she sided with Caesar’s right-hand man Mark Antony, as opposed to his legal heir Octavian (who defeated Antony and assumed sole control as the first Roman emperor).
If you connect these lyrics to the metaphorical meaning stated earlier. You could say that the thief who tries to steal Cleopatra, is doing this without anyone else noticing.
What’s the connection of legion’s view in terms of the other lyrics in the song?
