    [Scarface:] Let me get up outta here man my ride waitin'.
    Aiight cat daddy stay tru
    [Scarface:] Aiight man peace

    [straight into verse one]

    [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:]

    I'magine life at it's full peak
    Then imagine lying dead in the arms of your enemy
    I'magine peace on this earth when there's no grief
    I'magine 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!!!
