Scarface – Tiny Desk Concert

NPR Music

“He greets his father with his hands out
Rehabilitated slightly, but glad to be the man’s child
The world is different since he’s seen it last
Out of jail, been seven years and he’s happy that he’s free at last
All he had was his mother’s letters
Now he’s mobile and he’s gotta make a change and make it for the better
But he’s black so he’s got one strike against him
And he’s young, plus he came up in the system
But he’s smart and he’s finally makin’ *8
And his goal’s to get on top and try to stay clean
So he’s callin’ up his homie who done came up
Livin’ lavish, now they dealin’ with the same stuff
And had that attitude that who he was was worth land
And with that fucked up attitude he killed his first man
Now it’s different, he done did dirt
And realized killin’ men meant comin’ up but it still hurt
And can’t nobody change this
It’s 202* and we up against the same shit”
