[Verse 2: Scarface]
Buck the whole world
Meant that, gotta✦ stay strapped
'Cause 99.9 a niggas,✦ carry✦ they gats
Super✦ fist fightin' shit might come down to dyin'
When the time comes✦ down for the tryin' I got nine
Reasons why niggas✦ shouldn't step in my face
With the nonsense, 'cause I'm always heated✦ and you can taste this
Audi little something out the seams a my trousers
With no hesitation✦ I got a team to come clown ya
I down ya, so let your people know what they face
With the type of individual that'll bomb a sub-station✦
Kaboom! and everybody dies outside
It ain't no escapin' the Reaper✦ so don't try
Go ahead,✦ close ya eyes, who the next to step?
Face down, hit, bleedin' on the steps a death
Check yo self, you just been invaded by true soldiers
December 31st, '96 (the game is over)✦
[Chorus: Ice Cube]
Lord please, murda✦ my enemies✦ (Yeah)
Burn em at a thousand✦ degrees✦
And lord please let me make mo cheese
'Cause I ain't quite ready✦ to leave (No)
Lord please, murda✦ my enemies✦ (Yeah)
Burn em at a thousand✦ degrees✦
And lord please let me make mo cheese
'Cause I ain't quite ready✦ to leave (No)
[Verse 3: Dr. Dre]
(I've got all my life to live, plus with all my love to give)
Smokin'✦ weed I never✦ trail, I lead
Spendin' dough, tripped the cost of a ride like it was pocket✦ money,✦ Gs
But these are the things real playas do
Talkin'✦ shit is real things that the hatas✦ do
I'm namin'✦ you
Shit's thick, its time to run for shelter✦
I kept the word, things could happen✦ to marks like it was Helter✦ Skelter✦
[Verse 4: Scarface & Dr. Dre]
Dear diary,✦ I'm runnin'✦ outta✦ pages✦
Fadin',✦ in and out, takin'✦ purple hazes✦
The dazes,✦ Revelations in the last stages✦
Red skies institute, the silent horns playin'
I'm prayin' with tears in my eyes
'Cause I'm tryin' to make it into✦ eternal peace without dyin'
But they eyein' my bank account with beams on my rover✦
The killa✦ failed✦ to launch his attack
(The game is over)✦
[Chorus: Ice Cube]
Lord please, murda✦ my enemies✦ (Yeah)
Burn em at a thousand✦ degrees✦
And lord please let me make mo cheese
'Cause I ain't quite ready✦ to leave (No)
Lord please, murda✦ my enemies✦ (Yeah)
Burn em at a thousand✦ degrees✦
And lord please let me make mo cheese
'Cause I ain't quite ready✦ to leave (No)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Scarface utilizes a clinical, high-stakes narrative voice that emphasizes intimidation through rhythmic tension, effectively using the technical constraints of 1990s Gangsta Rap to ground visceral threats in a consistent, aggressive persona.

Rhyme Architecture: Maintains an AABB/CCDD variant structure characterized by heavy multisyllabic end-rhymes (face/taste/place/space) bridged by dense internal assonance typical of the Southern mid-90s stylistic evolution.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I got nine / Reasons why niggas shouldn't step in my face"

① A literal reference to his 9mm handgun as the justification for his posture.② A rhetorical nod to the nine lives or the literal nine reasons why conflict results in mortality.

"heated and you can taste this"

① He is temperamentally angry, and his aura is perceptible/threatening.② He is carrying a weapon that is 'hot' (recently fired or ready to fire), implying the victim will literally taste the lead/violence.

Impeccable pocket placement in a high-tempo context

Authentic, weight-heavy vocal delivery

Coherent thematic narrative focusing on preemptive paranoia

Strong structural pacing of threats

Occasional reliance on genre-standard tropes (strapped/gats)

Limited metaphorical complexity compared to more abstract lyricists
