Puns on the police shooting referenced above: the cop opened fire, and then the deceased’s casket was shut. When a cop shoots an innocent person, the police close ranks and defend him, treating it as a normal occurrence.

On the other hand, when someone shoots a police officer, the authorities and the media are likely to blame the act on violent hiphop music like the kind Scarface makes.

Scarface points out the hypocrisy in the fact that a man like David Duke, a former Klan leader who advocated violence against blacks, can attain political office and be somewhat respected, whereas there is great outcry against Scarface’s (fictional) portrayals of violence in his music.

There is also the implication that Face might need his shotgun to defend himself against racists like Duke.

The Cincinnati Bengals had a terrible season in 1993, winning 3 games and losing 13. So in 1993-1994, Scarface lost at least 14 homies.

AK-47, another Russian rifle that Scarface (along with many other rappers) loves to talk about.

SKS, a Russian semi-automatic rifle.

“Shife” means shady, hardcore; “roll one deep” means to travel solo. Scarface keeps to himself because he trusts no one.

High off a joint or blunt dipped in PCP.

I prefer killing white people, but I will kill a black man if he disrespects me.

In Texas we don’t scrap, we shoot.
