Redemption Song Lyrics


I'm too hard to kill, I refuse to die
Sweat tears and blood, paid dues survive
In these streets I roam, I've been blessed to live
Could've easily got caught up in my yesteryearsBut I'm here, my story remains the same
I ain't changed a bit, I speak words of pain
From a frozen heart, lost what's left to lose
I'm alone and what I promise is death to youAnd it's true my only fear is I have none
My conscience makes me keep me to myself 'cause I blast on
And I can fall asleep right next to a dead man
I'm cold, I put bullet holes all off in your headbandSo bring me death 'cause I've been itchin' to see
If it's an afterlife, aim it at me, cock it and squeezePlease back to back to back to back to back to back, nigga
From my first fuckin' album nigga
And I still can't be fucked with, trust meI'm the truth in here, I give up what's real
Not afraid to die, not afraid to kill
But afraid to lie and too scared to steal
'Cause what's mine is mine and what's his is hisIn these streets it's clear, punishment's severe
If that line is crossed that's when them guys appear
It's like nothin' you've seen, so fuck what you've heard

It ain't what you believe 'cause it's deeper than wordsIf silence is broke then somebody's comin' to blow
Holes in yo' upper body, leavin' a bloody coat
To be viewed by these dudes who feel like this
When it's enough said, it's bloodshed, believe that shit nigga'Cause we that sick nigga, you see that bitch, get her
'Cause he that snitch nigga, so squeeze that's it, figure
That you watch what you say, you say it and die
What you cherish is close to me so don't testifyStraight up hood nigga, made it rappin'
Yeah, caught a break
My life put down in words, homey
That's some real shit, yoA rapper you hated to love, respected and feared
What I'm capable of there's nothin' they say in our ears
I'm a soldier for fortune, I've got murderous plots
Plus I'm suicidal, walkin' this parking lotWith my dangerous thoughts, I'm a dangerous dude
When I up it and cock the hammer I'm aimin' dude
I came in to do, I'm a killing machine
And with life comes a price so I triple the feeWhen it's trippin' with me, either win or you lose
In the end he who wins is he who finishes fools
I'm sentencin' you, to a home in the sea
With lint in your pockets, you rolled with weedExposin' the weak, you hoes fin' to sleep
With the fishes bitches and y'all should know the demeanorYeah, everything that I say I am nigga, I am
Know the rest of you motherfuckers wish you could be that real
I tell you what my nigga, be real with your motherfuckin' selfI am Facemob nigga, I am the best nigga
I am the back to back to back to back nigga
You know what I'm sayin? Yeah

Scarface (born Brad Jordan, November 9, 1970) is a rapper from the South Acres neighborhood in Houston, Texas, originally known for his work as a member of the Geto Boys. He has been a solo artist since 1991, becoming one of the most popular southern rappers in the business although maintaining ties to the Geto Boys. He is known for his sometimes unique and exaggerated voice and rapping technique.

Recording as Akshen, he began his career recording solo for Rap-A-Lot Records, a local label in Houston, Texas. In the late 1980s, he joined the Geto Boys as they were forming and released We Can't Be Stopped, a highly successful LP that garnered the Geto Boys a large fanbase, in spite of their ultra-violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV. Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he even changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was just like him in many ways. Scarface soon released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys.

Scarface left the group and released a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view in spite of decreasing sales. He turned this around with 2000's Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the Source Awards. In 2002 he released The Fix, the critically acclaimed follow up to Last of a Dying Breed. In 2007 he released Made which overall recieved very positive reviews.
