Franchise, Crosby, American dream
All-star point guard, third year in the lead
First round, number-two pick, the heart of the team
I done set and watch 'em jump off the screen
I done seen and shaken [?] shoes
Fake baseline, [still and step and pull up a tomb??]
It's the franchise, I'll leave a tooth in the game
Boy comes straight out of D.C. doing his thing
The terrapin off in Maryland, chocolate leaves
So [I'll pertain they're 'bout to drop him a sleeve??]
I'm Scarface from the [age dark?], king of the block
"We are one" on my t-shirt and shoes are Reebok
And the streets rock what we rock, the battle is won
Crossbender with the franchise, you know I was done
It's like this, it's like that, it's like this and uh
It's like this, it's like that, it's like this and uh
It's like that, it's like this, it's like that and uh
It's like this, it's like that, it's like that and uh

Def Jam sound, baby!

Brad Terrence Jordan is better known as the legendary rapper/producer Scarface.

On That Other Level. In 1991, the Geto Boys released their biggest single “Mind Playing Tricks On Me” and Scarface released his debut solo album Mr. Scarface is Back, which achieved gold status.

Scarface went on to release several critically acclaimed albums, including The Diary (1994), The Untouchable (1997), My Homies (1998), and The Fix (2002), which received a rating of 5 Mics from The Source magazine. In 2000, he was named the president of Def Jam South, and one of his first signings was Ludacris.
