[Intro: cocky funny male MC, laid back] Leaf blower off, and I'm walkin' 'cross the grass Nine years, Lionel, we settlin' this at last [Verse 1: cocky funny male MC, smooth bounce] Every mornin' at seven, he be out by the fence Wavin' at me grinnin', yellin' somethin' that don't make sense Leaf blower screamin', so I only catch the end But I heard "you ain't" clear, and I heard it again "You ain't" what, Lionel? "You ain't" who? Nine years I been fillin' in the rest of it for you So I parked my truck an inch across his line Pointed every Christmas light right into his blinds He got a rooster, so I went and bought two Mine start at four, 'cause I know he sleeps through Every cookout I aim the charcoal at his deck He just waves and hollers, "You ain't," and I'm hot up to my neck [Hook: cocky funny male MC, bouncing] Say it to my face, say it to my face Nine years yellin' 'cross a fence, now I'm standin' in your space Leaf blower off, and the whole block on the lawn Say it to my face, what you been sayin' all along [Verse 2: cocky funny male MC, building heat] My wife said, "Baby, you sure that's what he says?" I said, "I can read a mouth, I know the shape a cuss makes" Bought a bigger blower just to drown out his noise Got the whole street pickin' sides, the mamas and the boys HOA held a meetin' 'bout the two grown men Who been fightin' since the Tuesday that the snow came in So this mornin' I decided I'm a man about it now Put my good shoes on and walked across to settle it somehow He was standin' by the fence with the blower in his hand I said, "Cut it off, Lionel," and I told him where I stand [Hook: cocky funny male MC, bouncing] Say it to my face, say it to my face Nine years yellin' 'cross a fence, now I'm standin' in your space Leaf blower off, and the whole block on the lawn Say it to my face, what you been sayin' all along [Verse 3: cocky funny male MC, then cracking up, he spells it out on the beat] He cut the blower off, and the whole street froze Wiped his hands on his jeans, looked me up from my toes Said, "Nine years I been sayin' it, I'm glad you finally came That winter Rosa had the chemo, and I couldn't lift a thing You shoveled out my driveway every mornin' before work Never knocked, never told me, never asked me what it's worth So every day I holler it, I'm sayin', 'You're a saint'" S, A, I, N, T, a saint, man, not "you ain't" Now we grill on the line, both our trucks in the drive He still yells it every mornin', and I hear it right this time [Hook: cocky funny male MC, bouncing] Say it to my face, say it to my face Nine years yellin' 'cross a fence, now I'm standin' in your space Leaf blower off, and the whole block on the lawn Say it to my face, what you been sayin' all along [Outro: cocky funny male MC, laughing] S, A, I, N, T Say it to my face, man, say it to me [End]
