DJ Paul, Juicy J, along with Nicholas ‘Nick Scarfo’ Jackson, founded Prophet in 1991. Three 6 Mafia would release the original Mystic Stylez and Chapter 1: The End on the label. DJ Paul and Juicy J would soon have a falling out with Nick Scarfo and as a result, left Prophet and founded their own label Hypnotize Minds, taking Three 6 Mafia with them. Nick Scarfo bought artist Indo G out of his contract with Hypnotize Minds for $120,000 and would go on to sue DJ Paul and Juicy J, though they ended up settling all matters out of court.
In early 2000 some former members of the original Prophet returned to the label. And in 2007, Nick Scarfo relaunched Prophet and would go on to release a new album featuring the original Prophet Posse called “The Return”. Some original Prophet and former Hypnotize Minds members such as Gangsta Boo, T-Rock, K-Rock, Koopsta Knicca, and Lil Pat would work with Prophet Posse. The last Prophet release was "Hood U.S.A.", in 2008. Nicholas ‘Nick Scarfo’ Jackson died on August 7, 2015.
After Dark
Prophet Posse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the Dub we gettin buck
Comin like a lightning struck
Cockin back the chrome at the ??
Bitches say I'm fakin it
Players playa hatin it
We can trade words or get in some gangsta shit
ain't the type of nigga that be comin up and then fall
When I'm at the club in the tub for a rub a dub
Even at the church cause ??
True to the ground yea I'm down for my fuckin crown
Straight from the north side of town with the gangsta frown
Evergreen niggas brought the clown cause we bull n shit
With the prophet posse and the whole fuckin triple six
Killa Klan Kaze in the party with the evil hottie
Like collecting guns just for fun stackin dead bodies
If you think I'm all rap and just a coward on the floor
Turn your fuckin nuts and bring it out the front door, ho
[Chorus 2X]
For the niggas who act like they hard
We won't hesitate to pull your whole cart
And all the hoods you bangin you slangin for you bar
Cause ain't no tellin what's gonna happen after dark
Twelve o'clock, in the car, on the ?
Bout to bring it, to your door
I don't bar no bitch, or a nigga
I pull triggas, won't fight, i tright to hit ya
If you bigger, you gonna fall, or try to crawl
Then I ball on your face, with chrome rims, or black walls
Late at night, I'm super tight, stay out of sight
With a scope pointed at a car, with blue lights (blue lights)
You know what I mean, with the stripes run up on ya, like OJ Simpson
With a knife, on your wife, or your kids
Yea I did all the dirt, all by myself, split whigs
Put a body, dead body, body bags, zippin tight real tight
For the trash, then I laugh for the last, aftermath...hahahahahahahahaha
[Chorus 2X]
The lyrics of “After Dark” by Prophet Posse are quite violent and use explicit language, hence portraying an image of the urban underworld. Juicy J’s lyrics talk about his gangster life and how he has a gun on him whenever he is out. He raps about how he is not afraid to use it and how he hates being called fake by others. Additionally, he is proud to be from the north side of town and that he is down for his crown. Furthermore, he mentions how the gangster life has brought him together with a like-minded community of people who are associated with the Prophet Posse and the triple six. In the chorus, he warns others not to mess around with him and his kind after dark as violence could occur in the form of bullets and guns.
The second verse of the song again highlights the violent nature of the Prophet Posse group. They are unapologetically ruthless and use guns without hesitation. In addition, the verse talks about how Juicy J has a scope pointed at cars with blue lights, meaning he is watching out for the police. The rapper also mentions how he is comfortable with hurting innocent people even if they have nothing to do with his fight. The verse ends with a laugh and a reference to the aftermath of a violent event, further emphasizing the dark and dangerous nature of their life.

Turn your fuckin nuts and bring it out the front door, ho
If you want to fight, meet me outside and don't back down
[Chorus 2X]
The chorus about being prepared for danger after dark
Twelve o'clock, in the car, on the ?
At midnight, in the car, going to your location
Bout to bring it, to your door
About to bring the fight to your doorstep
I don't bar no bitch, or a nigga
I'll fight anyone, male or female
I pull triggas, won't fight, i tright to hit ya
I'll shoot you before I engage in a fistfight
If you bigger, you gonna fall, or try to crawl
If you're big, you'll either fall or crawl away defeated
Then I ball on your face, with chrome rims, or black walls
I'll shoot you in the face, and you'll die with bullet holes resembling wheel rims or black walls
Late at night, I'm super tight, stay out of sight
Late at night, I'm on high alert and hiding
With a scope pointed at a car, with blue lights (blue lights)
I have a sniper rifle pointed at a police car with blue sirens
You know what I mean, with the stripes run up on ya, like OJ Simpson
You know what I'm getting at, I'll attack like OJ Simpson did
With a knife, on your wife, or your kids
I'll use a knife to attack your wife or kids
Yea I did all the dirt, all by myself, split whigs
I did all the illegal activities by myself, and I'm proud of it
Put a body, dead body, body bags, zippin tight real tight
I'll put a body in a bag and zip it up tight
For the trash, then I laugh for the last, aftermath...hahahahahahahahaha
I'll dispose of the body like trash and laugh about it afterwards
