[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 utilizes a grounded, conversational cadence that contrasts with the spiritual weight of the lyrics, achieving emotional resonance through directness rather than complex linguistic obfuscation.

Delivery

Conversational direct addressMultisyllabic anchoringInternal rhyme densityEnjambment for narrative flow

Rhyme Architecture: A sophisticated AABB-adjacent structure heavily bolstered by internal multisyllabic clusters (e.g., 'Wednesday/attending a wake/question/okay'), maintaining a conversational pocket while adhering to strict internal rhythmic cycles.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

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

① A literal reference to the brevity of human existence.② A theological reflection on the intersection of human temporality ('the minute') and divine order ('the design').

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

① A confession of absence at biblical miracles.② A justification for the emcee's unwavering faith despite the lack of direct sensory evidence, grounding the verse in the struggle between empirical observation and spiritual conviction.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Authentic, high-stakes emotional delivery

Sophisticated internal rhyming that masks a standard end-rhyme scheme

Limited vocabulary range in comparison to peak-era lyricists

Reliance on theological tropes common to the era

Lacks high-concept metaphorical layers
