Bitch you should have shot me when you pulled✦ your fuckin'✦ pistol on me
So now I'm forced✦ to pop the clip in
S to the motherfuckin'✦ A, nigga✦ set trippin'
It ain't no love when my finger's on the trigger
It ain't no love for you off balance ass niggas✦
So keep your ass in the neutral spot
'Cause if you rollin'✦ through my hood while we feudin'✦ then you gettin'✦ got

You out of pocket✦ when you fuckin'✦ with me, so now it's on boy (Rat tat tat tat)

When you see me 'round this bitch I got that motherfucker✦
So I ain't fuckin'✦ with the club life
I'm like Pac, I'm makin'✦ mail but I still live the thug life
My rap name's✦ gettin'✦ bigger✦
But ain't nothin'✦ changed, I still got the game to handle all you bitch niggas✦
So a nigga's✦ always strapped
Nuts been big since a kid you motherfucker✦ so it ain't rap
Toe to toe, back to back, gat for gat
It's like that motherfucker,✦ rat tat tat tat

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Scarface utilizes hyper-realistic, clinical narrative pacing to create a jarring emotional contrast between the cold mechanical nature of his violence and the visceral aftermath in the hospital.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB coupled with strong internal rhyming (cryin'/dyin'/homie/me) providing a relentless percussive drive that mirrors the 'rat-tat-tat' motif of the hook.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I see your ass in the doctor's arms, slowly dyin'"
① The literal placement of a gunshot victim in a medical professional's care.② The ironic reversal where the 'doctor's arms'—usually associated with saving life—are merely witnessing the transition to death due to the severity of the wound.
"S to the motherfuckin' A, nigga set trippin'"
① A phonetic spelling out of his name, Scarface.② A dismissal of his opponent's claim to gang affiliation (set trippin'), reducing their identity to just letters while he asserts his own permanence.
Commanding, authentic vocal grit
Highly effective use of silence and tension in the interlude
Pacing that forces the listener to confront the consequence of the violence
Wordplay is functional rather than metaphorical
Vocabulary is intentionally constrained to maintain street-level realism
