Recording as Akshen, he began his career recording solo for Rap-A-Lot Records, a local label in Houston, Texas. In the late 1980s, he joined the Geto Boys as they were forming and released We Can't Be Stopped, a highly successful LP that garnered the Geto Boys a large fanbase, in spite of their ultra-violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV. Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he even changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was just like him in many ways. Scarface soon released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys.
Scarface left the group and released a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view in spite of decreasing sales. He turned this around with 2000's Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the Source Awards. In 2002 he released The Fix, the critically acclaimed follow up to Last of a Dying Breed. In 2007 he released Made which overall recieved very positive reviews.

Scarface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so alone, so all alone, of in my heart
Shut down to my bone, scum,fix
These lyrics from Scarface's song "The Fix" paint a picture of someone who has undergone a significant transformation. They suggest that the person in question has experienced a profound shift in their worldview, resulting in a sense of isolation and alienation. The reference to thoughts flowing through teeth can be interpreted as a manifestation of this inner turmoil, as the person struggles to come to terms with their new perspective. Similarly, the imagery of feeling alone in the heart suggests a deep-seated emotional pain.
The line "shut down to my bone, scum, fix" is a powerful one, both in terms of its delivery and its meaning. It suggests that the person in question has been through some kind of trauma or hardship, which has left them feeling deeply wounded. The reference to "scum" and "fix" suggests that they have turned to substance abuse as a way of coping with this pain.
Overall, these lyrics are a poignant reflection on the human experience of suffering and transformation. They speak to the ways in which our inner worlds can be turned upside down by unexpected events, leaving us struggling to find our way in a world that no longer seems familiar.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything changed, in my head flowing through my teeth
My thoughts are overwhelming and causing a physical reaction, almost as if they are spilling out of my mouth.
I feel so alone, so all alone, of in my heart
An intense feeling of loneliness that penetrates deep into my heart.
Shut down to my bone, scum, fix
Feeling defeated and broken down to my very core, seeking a solution or way to fix it.
