[Interlude: Scarface]
Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,✦ in too deep
Ain't no turnin'✦ back
Cock up your motherfuckin'✦ gauge
(Rap on)
[Verse 2: Scarface]
Mister✦ Mister✦ Scarface✦ for the nine-deuce✦
Niggas✦ pack a .9, fuck you, bitch, I pack a .9, too
Millimeter Ruger✦ for you hoes who try to flex nuts
You point your shit, I point my shit, come nigga,✦ now let's check nuts
Born a hustler,✦ raised✦ a hustler,✦ never✦ gonna✦ stop, trick
Buck a hustler,✦ motherfucker,✦ boy, you better✦ die, bitch
Found myself a buster,✦ had the boy front me an O.Z
Fucked✦ him out his money,✦ worked✦ my way up to a whole ki'
Now he's got some niggas✦ trying to ball 'Face
Time to go to work, need some back, better✦ call Eiht
Call my nigga✦ up, kicked✦ the fundamentals
Two-way✦ ticket,✦ 3 o'clock,✦ continental
Eiht rolled✦ in with the motherfuckin'✦ task force
Bucked✦ them hoes off, dropped him off at the airport
Niggas✦ don't ever✦ fuck with me
'Cause I'm a nigga✦ who plays the game for keeps
Drop you on your ass with the quickness, 'cause I'm in too deep
[Interlude: MC Eiht]
Geah
The criminals is in the motherfuckin'✦ house
(Rap on)
[Verse 3: MC Eiht]
Now they got us on the run, but we tired✦ of runnin'✦
Got the Glocks all cocked,✦ let the fools keep coming✦
Scarface✦ got the motherfuckin'✦ pump under✦ the seat
So niggas✦ better✦ duck or your ass is fucked,✦ geah
The mad man with nuttin'✦ to lose
So you better✦ bring your strap or catch the blues
And um, or get served✦ like a damn clucker,✦ sucker✦
Or in the end be a short motherfucker✦
Now them one-times is all on my back and
Heard that Eiht and Scarface✦ peeled✦ the cap and
They wanna✦ gaffle us up, but it's a shame
Can't fade the best from Compton and the Midwest
So watch your back when the niggas✦ step
'Cause the scene that what's left is your whole family's death
And fool don't sleep
'Cause sorry✦ motherfucker,✦ we in too deep
[Outro: MC Eiht]
Geah, in your shit for the nine-deuce✦
MC Eiht in the motherfuckin'✦ house, with my nigga✦ Scarface✦ and shit
DJ Slip in the motherfuckin'✦ house
And we killin'✦ the shit off, geah, ha-ha-ha-ha✦
Geah
