Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Scarface the criminal
Hardcore, invincible
Scarface, invincible
The hardcore, criminal

never lettin nothin stand in the way of me ridin
Animal instinct intentions whenever we grindin
We criminally minded, ill squeeze ya blindly
Body parts deteriorated when they find ya
Here's your death certificate, might as well sign it
The ending, I'm the reaper, why you hiding
I'm violent I strike with the force of a bomb
And right when you least expect it I come
Uh, I know you see the fire in my eyes
The hunger the hate I'm trapped inside now die
Everybody in here gotta die, ain't nobody in here escapin my nine
Ain't no sense in hidin, you wasting my time
Bitch I gotta handle I came to get mine
Believe if you don't leave no witness's, no crime
Welcome to the part of the sun that don't shine

scarface invincible
Hardcore, criminal
Scarface, invincible
The hardcore, criminal

welcome to the day of futures ak
The place where you get caught for shit you get sprayed
Where hoes got dicks and niggas is bitch made
Takin penitentiary chance to get paid
Children gettin suspended for totin switch blades
Others brutally murdered before the 6th grade
Its 6 million ways to murder 2face
I preffer the method of usin a 12 gauge
And blades crack open your rib cage shawty
High off of wantin this weed and black mildly
The hardcore followin is raisin dead bodies
Murder inc in the muthafucka like irv gotti
And livin hot as we ride, look into my bloodshot eyes
To visualize the blood red skies
Its the border where the live dead die
A brief moment in time, and the sun don't shine
Bottom line


Scarface invincible
Hardcore, criminal
Scarface, invincible
The hardcore, criminal

in the event that you comin with static
I play the map
Comin at you with M11's and automatic
I'm worse than the mentally ill, a bad habit
Over killin my victims just to get to see they casket
Raised like a machine, you suckas get blasted
The hardcore serial killin I done mastered
The church of the criminally sick, I'm the pastor
My dad used to beat up my mom, I'm a bastard
Now ask her, how does it feel to be a smasher
Me plus me with a strap, that's disaster
For anybody protectin the shit that I'm after
Empty wishes don't be takin you out, I'm'a have to

scarface invincible
Hardcore, criminal

yea, this gon be the last time I bust a new jack rap




Lets go back into some old shit to show y'all niggas you can't fuck with me

Overall Meaning

Roy Jones Jr.'s song "Invincible" is a hard-hitting rap song that talks about the life of a criminal, specifically one referred to as Scarface. The opening lines of the chorus repeat the words "Scarface invincible, the hardcore criminal," emphasizing his invincibility to the forces of law and order. The verses are replete with vivid imagery of violence, crime and anarchy. The first verse speaks of animalistic tendencies when they strive to achieve their goals, and how they are ill-intentioned and criminally minded, with a mention of using a blindfold while squeezing the trigger. The lines "body parts deteriorated when they find ya, here's your death certificate, might as well sign it," depicts the life of gangs and their notorious ways of crime.


The second verse paints a picture of a world caught in a cycle of violence and drugs, where children carry switch blades and murders are committed early on in life. Roy talks of the different ways to murder someone and how he prefers to use a 12-gauge shotgun. The chorus that follows the second verse is a repeat of the first. The last verse talks about how mentally deranged and lethal Roy Jones Jr. is, comparing himself to a machine, and how he is a master of killing. The song ends with Jones Jr. declaring his superiority and challenging anyone to step up to him.


Overall, the lyrics of "Invincible" glorify a life of crime, violence, and anarchy. It's a reflection of the reality of some inner cities in America, where gang violence and drug abuse are rampant. The lyrics strike a chord with those who live in poverty and believe that crime is a way out of their depressing conditions. Roy Jones Jr.'s telling of this story may be unsettling to some, but it's an eye-opener to the harsh realities of life on the streets.

nikolaras93

What an amazing boxer rjj is.
One of the most spectacular-skilled ever.
He would have dominated easily almost every decade you put him into.

Steafรกn O'Cinnรฉide ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

One Of The Greatest & Most Talented Boxers To Ever Step In The Ring.

Michael Horner

1:08 .....that is my favorite clip of a boxing combo...in all of boxing history. The speed and how fluid those upper cuts were...using both hands.....is just mind blowing and jaw dropping...how much of a talent / gift that is!

Chuck Amuck

He's still one of my favorite fighters ever, it's just sad that he didn't retire sooner. I forget who made the comment but someone on Youtube said that Roy's speed and reflexes (in his prime) were so fast that it allowed him to get away with not working on his defense, but as he got older and began to slow down it caught up with him, which explains his being knocked out by nobodies. Still and all - one of the greatest ever!

Tony Stark

yes indeed in his prime his amazing

bullishbrad

3:23 the way he steps back to his corner is so hilarious

Tango

Guys, this is rare...This is incredible. We are watching a prime Roy Jones video NOT in 240p. Roy Jones deserves an amazing video like this...The song choice is perfect.

Michael Horner

@1:10 the best upper cut combo if I ever saw one...on point...smooth...fast...and... pow....pow....power!
