[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:]
|
|
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!!!
