N.O. Joe - I Seen a Man Die lyrics

[Intro: Scarface + (friend)] (So what you gonna do when you get outta here cat daddy?) I don't know dawg. I'm just trying to live it one day at a time, ya know? (I hear you talkin' man, live it one day at a time...) (It ain't nothing but a thang though, bro) Yeah I hear you fool... Well let me get up outta here, my ride out here waitin' for me (Alright cat daddy, take it easy baby) You stay up fool (Peace) [Verse 1: Scarface] He greets his father with his hands out Rehabilitated slightly, I'm glad to be the man's child The world is different since he's seen it last Out of jail, been seven years and he's happy that he's free at last All he had was his mother's letters Now he's molded and he's gotta make a change and make it for the better But he's black 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 his goal's to get on top and try to stay clean So he's calling up his homie who done came up Livin' large, now they dealin' with the same stuff And had that attitude that who he was worth it And with that f**ed up attitude he k**ed his first man Now it's different, he who did dirt And realized k**in' men, meant comin' up but it still hurt And can't nobody change this It's nineteen-ninety-four and we up against the same sh** I never understood why I could never see a man cry, til I seen a man die [Verse 2: Scarface] 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 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 your final test I see the fear in your eyes and hear your final breath How much longer will it be til it's all done? Total darkness and ease be at all one I watch him die and when he dies let us celebrate You took his life, but your memory you'll never take You'll be headed to another place And the life you used to live will reflect in your mother's face I still gotta wonder why I never seen a man cry til I seen a man die [Verse 3: Scarface] 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 and your pulse is low Stop trying to fight the reaper just relax and let it go Because there's no way you can fight it though you'll still try And you can try it til you fight it but you'll still die Your spirits leave 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 life And you see the ones you never learn to love in life Make the choice, let it go if you 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 wonder why I never seen a man cry til I seen that man die
