[00:16.34]Verse 1:
[00:18.81]He greets his father with his hands up
[00:20.66]Rehabilitated slightly, glad to be the mans child
[00:24.33]The world is different since he seen it last
[00:26.62]Outta jail been seven years and he's happy that he's free at last
[00:30.44]All he had was his mother's letters
[00:32.82]Now he's mobile and he's gotta make a changed and make it for the better
[00:36.46]But he's black so he's got one strike against him
[00:39.35]And he's young plus he came up in the system
[00:42.36]But he's smart and he's finally makin' eighteen
[00:45.31]And his goal's to get on top and try to stay clean
[00:48.30]So he's callin' up his homie who done came up
[00:51.37]Livin' lavish now they dealin' wit' the same stuff
[00:54.35]And had that attitude that who he was was worth man
[00:57.37]And with that fucked up attitude he killed his first man
[01:00.47]Now its different he done did dirt
[01:02.93]And realized killin' men meant comin' up
[01:05.20]But it still hurt
[01:06.58]And can't nobody change this
[01:08.68]It's 1994 and we up against the same shit
[01:12.50]I never understood why
[01:14.74]I could never see a man cry
[01:16.69]Until I see a man die
[01:18.48]Chorus:
[01:22.26]Face: A man cry
[01:26.99]
[01:29.89]Verse 2:
[01:30.78]Imagine life at its full peak
[01:32.92]Then imagine lyin' dead in the arms of your enemy
[01:36.37]Imagine peace on this earth where there's no grief
[01:39.44]Imagine grief on this earth where there's no peace
[01:42.47]Everybody's got a different way of endin' it
[01:45.32]And when your number comes for souls then they send it in
[01:48.52]Now your time has arrived for your final test
[01:51.53](I see the fear in your eyes and in your final breath)
[01:54.73]How much longer will it be 'till its all done?
[01:57.33]Total darkness at ease be it all one
[02:00.45]I watch him dying when he dies, let us celibrate
[02:03.25]You took his life but your memory you'll never take
[02:06.33]You'll be headed to another place
[02:08.89]And the life you used to live will reflect in your momma's face
[02:12.56]I still gotta' wonder why
[02:14.65]I never seen a man cry
[02:16.69]Untill I seen a man die
[02:18.55]Chorus: 2x
[02:42.04]I hear you breathin' but your heart no longer sounds strong
[02:45.40]But you're kinda scared of diein' so you hold on
[02:48.55]And you keep on blackin' out and your pulse is low
[02:51.56]Stop tryin' to fight the reap but just relax and let it go
[02:54.53]Because theres no way you can fight it but you'll still try
[02:57.54]And you can try it till you fight it but you'll still die
[03:00.57]Your spirit leaves your body and your mind clears
[03:03.57]The rigimore starts to set now you're outta' here
[03:06.70]You start your journey into outer space
[03:08.87]You see yourself in the light but you still feelin' outta' place
[03:12.62]So you're standin' in the tunnel of eternal life
[03:15.49]And you see the ones you never learned to love in life
[03:18.52]Make the choice let it go and you can back it up
[03:21.46]If you ain't at peace with God you need to patch it up
[03:24.49]But if you're ready close your eyes and we can set it free
[03:27.62]There lies a man not scared to die may he rest in peace
[03:30.68]I still got to wonder why
[03:32.95]I never seen a man cry
[03:35.19]'Till I seen that man die
[03:36.71]Chorus: 3x (fades out)
[04:06.71](Tv flipping channels, dishes clashing)
[04:32.61]
