Inspectah Deck told Paul Meara of HipHopDX in February 2013, that the album had no goals, but to "create something worth listening to". Inspectah Deck had worked with 7L & Esoteric on tour and two previous tracks, the duo's song "Speaking Real Words" from the 2001 album The Soul Purpose and "12th Chamber" from their 2010 album 1212. Esoteric spoke of the album's origin as fun between friends, which ultimately led to a character that represented all three members.
They released their acclaimed debut studio album, Czarface, February 19, 2013. The album was followed by Every Hero Needs a Villain in 2015 and A Fistful of Peril in 2016, both of which were also praised by critics.

Czarface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the FACECZAR" i get that all the time
King on the board
Got 'em eyeing my next move
Your boy more water than Poseidon and Neptune
I bless fools, still in the rec room
Flow so scientific as if it's
I'm true like the right answer
Known to swing big
This is par 5 at the Masters
The side-eyes hardly matter
Fuck all the gossip and chatter
I'm gaining weight now, my
Pockets are fatter, yeah deck spaz
Apocalypse Now soon as the check cash
I spend half then flee the
Scene on a jet craft
Non-believers, see 'em with they jaws wide
I tear 'em up inside like a mom's cry
I'm from SI
Don't mistake me for the next guy
You feel me youngin? Watch a vet ride
And consider yourself highly
Privileged to eyewitness
The mind twisted that I exhibit, dig it?
I leave you right beside
The fishes, not personal, it's business
Last wishes then it's over with the quickness
CZARFACE my gun can't stop it
Son of a bitch, son of a bitch
I'm hard to kill so guard your
Grill until it's over with
CZARFACE and DOOM been pro
Mask before Corona hit
Legacy, so solidified that you
Can plank on it
Your only gun's in your burner account
Bank on it
You talking about killing snitches in one bar
You call your man your shooter
Now he barely can come far
Claimin' you movin' them bricks with killers
And goons in your clique
But I saw you grooving in
Lululemon and Zumba with chicks
And that's okay
But don't tell me you locked in
With the Glock in both socks when
You really in hot spin
My pen game is Endgame, I send flames
Your best dame
Got E-S name engraved on her bedframe
You been lame
With your mind on the methane, saying
"Eso gettin' gassed"
But I can pull the last when
I'm at Esso getting gas
CZAR i heard Eso was a czar
I heard Deck was a czar
I heard DOOM was a villain
Snatched the bag like the Grinch, dag
It's a cinch
Snagged with the burner and ain't
Seen your man since
Irrelevant to tag if the swag is past-tense
And karma swing backwards and drag
You can't flinch
A thrill you deserve to feel if
Your ass is that dense
Like how you like them apples
Confined to tin shackles
Predisposed tensions like hoes
Sitting in chapels
He in white sands, barin' his black toes
Sippin' a Snapple
Fish taco, Casablanca, Morocco
Stash similar to the National Bank, vato
Got dough, probably some snitch or a sapo
Sing at the top of they lungs
Like chicks in the top row
Plus streams of confetti
Same reason he hardly talk to
Team on his celly
Breakfast continental, cream cheese, jelly
Bread long and smells sea
Breeze at the 'telly
Yo, Dzl the first to show who dependent
On crutches
Pushed down the ramp that descended
Point at the west, commencin' with the speech
It's no handrail, very long, very steep
It may be slippery but I mop accordingly
Falling for it
That's the last thing most importantly
It's like being new and fake at the same time
Momentum ran 'em down ten feet, can't grind
I see it like a cult leader
Holding a mass rally inside
Slash mass-suicide
Bludgeoned right on the peak
Of a sudden spike cuffin' mics
Crushin' massive egos to slush and ice
Nothing like my mentals and the muscle type
Ain't no discussion with munchkins
They just as trife
Destroyed by a mere allegation
Falsely accused, just a clear adolescent
Which son is the right hunt? Try it, chump
Funky Homosapien funky Homosapien
I'm in an impossible fantasy world
It's true, I'm going mad
The song "Jason & The Czargonauts" by Czarface featuring MF DOOM is a track that radiates arrogance and attitude. Each rapper flaunts their lyrical skills and brags about their wealth, status, and power. The chorus which goes "CZARFACE my gun can't stop it, Son of a bitch, son of a bitch" emphasizes their strength and toughness, implying that no one can bring them down.
Esoteric, aka Eso, opens up the first verse by acknowledging his looks and mentions that he often gets compared to the Faceczar. He then raps about his superior moves and how he blesses fools with his scientific flow. He also boasts about his skills on the golf course and the fact that he is gaining weight, indicating that he is getting richer. DOOM takes on the second verse, bragging about his invincibility, stating that he is hard to kill, and advising others to guard their grill until it's over. Both rappers talk about their past experiences, implying that they have been in the game for a while and have left a significant legacy that people can plank on.
The third verse performed by Inspectah Deck questions the authenticity of some rappers who claim to have guns, do crimes, and move bricks when, in reality, they can't make it past a Zumba session with girls. He also mentions that even though you might have money, your enemies can snatch your bag like the Grinch did in the classic Christmas story. Finally, MF DOOM concludes the song, referencing the Funky Homosapien and stating that he is in an impossible fantasy world, alluding to his unconventional style.

Non-believers, see 'em with they jaws wide
I tear 'em up inside like a mom's cry
I'm from SI
Don't mistake me for the next guy

Your only gun's in your burner account
Bank on it
The artist is difficult to defeat, so others should watch their back when dealing with them. They and DOOM have been wearing masks for years, leaving their legacy strong enough to rely on. Others have false bravado and need to rely on things like social media for validation.

You call your man your shooter
Now he barely can come far
Claimin' you movin' them bricks with killers
And goons in your clique

CZAR i heard Eso was a czar
I heard Deck was a czar
I heard DOOM was a villain
There are rumors that the singer and their fellow rappers are kings. One is even a villain stereotype.
Snatched the bag like the Grinch, dag
It's a cinch
Snagged with the burner and ain't

Irrelevant to tag if the swag is past-tense
And karma swing backwards and drag
You can't flinch
A thrill you deserve to feel if
Your ass is that dense
Like how you like them apples

Breakfast continental, cream cheese, jelly
Bread long and smells sea
Breeze at the 'telly
The artist easily takes something valuable but leaves others hanging after getting caught with a gun. People who try to act fancier than they really are deserve what they get. Someone lives a life of leisure but has hidden motives. They have little concern for others' opinions and do as they please, being showered in success and celebration.
Yo, Dzl the first to show who dependent
On crutches

Falsely accused, just a clear adolescent
Which son is the right hunt? Try it, chump
Dzl relies on others, like crutches, but is pushed down a steep ramp without guidance. The artist sees through falseness disguised as something new and catches it before it goes too far. They see themselves as a leader and want to rid the world of undeserved confidence. They have no time for those who act tough but are really just kids, and will call out people who make false accusations.
