Verse 1: | |
He greets his father with his hands out | |
Rehabilitated slightly, glad to be the man's child | |
The world is different since he's seen it last | |
Out of jail in seven years and he's happy that he's free at last | |
All he had was his mother's worth | |
Now she's gone and he's gotta make a change and make it for the beddah | |
But he's back so he's got one strike against him | |
And he's young plus he came up in the system | |
But he's smart and he's finally makin' eighteen | |
And this goes to get on top and try to stay clean | |
So he's calling up his homie who dun came up | |
Livin' like this now they dealin' with the same stuff | |
And had that attitude that who he was was worth it | |
And with that fucked up attitude he killed his first mate | |
Now it's different and he's dead as dirt | |
And realized that the name ain't coming up but it still hurt | |
And cain't nobody change this | |
It's ninteen-ninety-foe and we up against the same shit | |
*chorus* i nevah understand why | |
I could nevah seen a man cry, til i seen that man die | |
Verse two: | |
Imagine life at it's full peak | |
Then imagine lying dead in the arms of your enemy | |
Imagine peace on this earth when there's no grief | |
Imagine grief on this earth when there's no peace | |
Cuz everybody's got a different way of endin' it | |
And when your number comes for service then they send it in | |
Now your time has arrived for the final touch | |
I see the fear in your eyes and hear your final breath | |
How much longeer will it be til it's all done? | |
Total darkness and ease be in all one | |
I watch him die and when he dies let us celebrate | |
You took his life, but your memory he'll never take | |
You'll be heade to another place | |
And the life you used to live will reflect in your mother's face | |
*chorus* | |
Verse 3: | |
I hear you breathin' but your heart no longer sounds strong | |
But you kinda scared of dying so you hold on | |
And you keep on blacking out cuz the post is near | |
Stop trying to fight the reaper just relax and let it go | |
Because there's no way you can fight it but you'll still try | |
And you can try it til you fight it but you'll still die | |
Now your spirit leaves your body and your mind clears | |
The rigormortis starts to set, now you outta here | |
You start your journey into outer space | |
You see yourself in the light but you're still feeling outta place | |
So you standing in the tunnel of eternal light, | |
And you see the ones you never learn to love in life | |
Make the choice let it go but u can back it up | |
If you ain't at peace with god you need to patch it up | |
But if you ready close your eyes and we can set it free | |
There lies a man not scared to die, may he rest in peace | |
I still got to wondah why, | |
I never seen a man cry til i seen a man die | |
*t.v. in the backgroung*...hope you feel beddah!!! |
So what you gonna do cat daddy? | |
Scarface: i don' t know dawg.. juss trying to live it one day at a time. | |
I hear you man, live it one day at a time... | |
Scarface: let me get up outta here man my ride waitin'. | |
