"Homicide" by Ghostface Killah is a gritty and violent song that tells the story of a man seeking revenge for the death of his friend. The protagonist, Tony Starks (Ghostface Killah's alter ego), is determined to make his enemy pay for the murder by killing him and anyone associated with him (including his friend Mick). In the first verse, Tony acknowledges that his enemy, who he refers to as "this nigga Tony", may believe he is back and can't be touched. However, Tony asserts that he will fold, or defeat, his enemies and make an example out of them. He also expresses his disregard for the older gangsters and claims to possess the same type of firearms as them. Tony holds a grudge against his enemy for killing his friend and vows to enact revenge on anyone his enemy loves. He follows Mick, his enemy's associate, to his home and plans to shoot him. He then describes the violent act of shooting Mick, causing him to fall through a table and become tangled in a tablecloth. Tony leaves the crime scene, leaving behind his signature and a message expressing his contempt. The second verse reveals that Tony's brother has been taken by his enemies as well. This motivates him even more to seek vengeance. He declares himself relentless and says he will torture his enemy by skinning him alive. Tony explains that he feels like a beast that has been let out of a cage, ready to unleash terror on his enemies. He plans to go on a killing spree to show them the consequences of their actions. The hook emphasizes Tony's mindset and his determination to bring about a massacre. He threatens to stick a bomb in his enemy's limo, killing everyone inside and leaving no witnesses. It represents his desire to eliminate any connection to his enemies and ensure they face their punishment. In the outro, Tony asserts that he is unstoppable and mocks his enemies, claiming to wipe his genitals on their spaghetti forks. He proclaims his commitment to making money and establishing his legacy, insisting it is more than just "shoebox money." Overall, "Homicide" is a violent and vengeful song where Ghostface Killah's alter ego, Tony Starks, seeks retribution for the murder of his friend and his brother. The lyrics illustrate his anger, determination, and readiness to commit violent acts against those responsible.
