[Hook]
Let me roooooooooooooll
We want your mind to blooooow
Just got some things to do
[Verse 2]
Back on the creep after✦ losin✦ some change
Seen my partner✦ [Name], Big Chief and James✦
Creepin on the boulevard, actin✦ a fool
Trippin✦ on the broads at the old school
Music✦ bumpin✦ hard, never✦ turnin✦ it down
Trunk super✦ tight with surround-by sound
Paint job crackin 'cause the punch ain't fade
Jammin✦ that brand new 2Low tape
Windows all smokey,✦ blowin✦ coke-laced seed
I'm throwin up the deuce to the HPD
Now they lookin✦ crazy✦ like I sold the hay
Just another✦ day in the heart of S.A
Roll a little further there, I seen O.G
With his brother✦ named✦ [?], S.A. O.G
They chunked up the hood, so I'm chunkin it back
And then they pulled✦ out a $200 sack
When I saw it I almost choked✦
Twist your partner✦ one, big baby,✦ just let your partner✦ smoke
[Hook]
Let me roooooooooooooll
We want your mind to blooooow
We got some things to do
[Verse 3]
Smokin✦ on some lovely,✦ now I'm feelin✦ fine
It's jumpin✦ off at the 9.9
5th Ward in the house with the S.A. fools
Ain't no set trippin✦ 'cause we all so cool
Drinkin up the bottle, gettin✦ drunk as a skunk
That 151 just ain't no punk
Hit the stage and grabbed the mic and started flexin✦ styles✦
A stage full of tight MC's goin buckwild
Now throw your hands in the air like that
On the wheels of steel is my homie Lonnie Mack
Gettin✦ down on his own
Now I'm finna pass my partner✦ Jay the microphone
[Outro]
Throw your hands in the air like that
Northside✦ where you at, where you at, where you at?
Throw your hands in the air like that
Southside✦ where you at, where you at, where you at?
Throw your hands in the air like that
Eastside✦ where you at, where you at, where you at?
Throw your hands in the air like that
Westside✦ where you at, where you at, where you at?
Let me roooooooooooooll
We want your mind to blooooow
Let me roooooooooooooll
We want your mind to blooooow
We got some things to do
Just let us hang with you
We some drink for you
My partner✦ Jay's...

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Scarface displays an elite command of narrative pacing and rhythmic consistency, utilizing a conversational yet gritty tone that defined Southern storytelling in the early 90s, even if the lyrical content relies more on atmospheric realism than complex wordplay.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB couplets with dense internal slant rhyming (e.g., 'change/James', 'fool/school', 'down/sound') that maintains the pocket through steady syllabic stress.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Trunk super tight with surround-by sound"

① Physical description of a high-quality, rattling car audio system② A display of status and neighborhood dominance through volume and sonic presence

"Twist your partner one"

① Rolling a blunt or joint to share with a friend② An invitation to relax or de-escalate through the shared act of smoking

"Now they lookin crazy like I sold the hay"

① The police suspect the narrator of dealing low-grade marijuana② Hyperbole for the aggressive scrutiny faced by Black men in urban environments regardless of actual illicit activity

Impeccable pocket placement

Evocative scene-setting

Authentic delivery conveying lived experience

Seamless integration of internal rhyme within the narrative flow

Relies on regional slang tropes common to the era

Limited metaphorical abstraction compared to lyricist-heavy contemporaries

Narrative structure is linear and lacks subversion
