[Chorus: Faith Evans]

I know God is watching^✦ from above^✦

Sometimes^✦ I wonder^✦ what I'd do without^✦ his love

And although^✦ life is full of adversities^✦

I know he's with me, he's with me

I know someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

Someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

He'll come to get me

[Post-Chorus]

Someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

He'll come to get me

[Verse 2: Scarface]

It seems like every^✦ other^✦ Wednesday^✦ I'm attending a wake

But I don't question you, I know that's your way, okay^✦

I know we living^✦ for the minute^✦ and there's^✦ a moment in time

We've got to leave here, 'cause that's your design

And nothing lasts forever, not even^✦ spirit,^✦ only^✦ your word

That's what I live by, 'cause that's what I heard

I wasn't there when you rose from the dead or you parted^✦ the sea

I never^✦ seen you, but still I believe^✦

How you explain the moon, the sky, the stars and the rain

The sun and the sea, the earth without^✦ form facing^✦ the deep?

In darkness challenging the powers^✦ that be

It's impossible for scientists to make up the seeds, to make up the trees

So why we turn our backs on the truth?

It's Heaven^✦ or Hell, the point we seem to hide from the youth

And I was singing^✦ this morning, got touched by the spirit^✦

So I wrote it down for the homies^✦ to hear it

[Chorus: Faith Evans]

I know God is watching^✦ from above^✦

Sometimes^✦ I wonder^✦ what I'd do without^✦ his love

And although^✦ life is full of adversities^✦

I know he's with me, he's with me

I know someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

Someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

He'll come to get me

[Verse 3: Scarface]

Lord, I know that I've been wrong

They say a man is lost without^✦ a prayer, without^✦ a song

So I'm singing^✦ on my knees 'cause I believe^✦ you'll keep me strong

Until^✦ it's time for me to bring it home

But until^✦ it's time for me to bring it home

I'll be out in these streets, hanging in the hood

Even^✦ gangsters need to pray, 'cause when I pray it's understood

That I got flaws about^✦ myself,^✦ I can't make it by myself^✦

I need the Heaven's help, I want to follow^✦ in your foot steps

Done seen the strongest man bow down to a higher^✦ power^✦

And given^✦ all his glory^✦ to God 'cause God towers^✦

Over^✦ all, and in that I save this prayer

For all my homies^✦ that's been trapped out there

That's stuck in their ways, it's different now than back in the days

So fuck what they say, 'cause ain't no coming^✦ back from the grave

So when the gun goes pop and the lights go out

Then you'll understand what I'm talking about^✦

[Chorus: Faith Evans]

I know God is watching^✦ from above^✦

Sometimes^✦ I wonder^✦ what I'd do without^✦ his love

And although^✦ life is full of adversities^✦

I know he's with me, he's with me

I know someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

Someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

He'll come to get me

[Post-Chorus]

Someday,^✦ someday,^✦ someday^✦

He'll come to get me

[Outro: Faith Evans]

I just want to be your solider^✦

I just want to be your vessel,^✦ woo, Lord

I just want to be your solider^✦

I just want to be your vessel,^✦ woo, Lord

I just want to be your solider^✦

I just want to be your vessel,^✦ woo, Lord

I just want to be your solider^✦

I just want to be your vessel,^✦ woo, Lord

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Scarface demonstrates elite command of emotive vocal cadence, using a conversational yet gravitas-heavy flow to ground theological existentialism in the harsh realities of street-level loss.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAA-BBBB-CC structure with heavy use of multi-syllabic slant rhymes (Wednesday/wake; minute/in it) that prioritize thematic consistency over forced end-rhyme perfection.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I'm attending a wake"

① The literal funeral service for a deceased acquaintance.② A metaphorical state of being 'awake' to the constant cycle of death and violence in his environment.

"that's your design"

① God's predestined plan for humanity's lifespan.② The deterministic structure of life and death that Scarface observes in the streets, questioning whether it is divine or cold entropy.

Commanding, authentic delivery style

Seamless integration of philosophical inquiry with street narrative

Pacing that mimics natural speech patterns while maintaining rigorous rhythmic pockets

Lower lexical density compared to more complex lyricists

Reliance on established religious tropes rather than highly novel metaphors

Limited use of complex wordplay
