I Seen A Man Die Lyrics - The Diary - Scarface

Man: So what you gonna when you get outta here, cat daddy? 

Scarface: I don't know dawg... just trying to live it one day at a time, you know? 

Man: I hear you talkin' man, live it one day at a time... ain't nothin' but a thing though, bro. 

Scarface: Yeah I hear you fool. Well let me get up outta here, man, my ride out here waitin' fo' me 

Man: Aight cat, take it easy baby. 

Scarface: Stay up fool... peace. 

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---been seven years---and he's happy that he's free at last 

All he had was his mother's letters 

Now he's home 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 callin' up his homie who done 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 man 

Now it's different, he done did dirt 

And realized, killin' men meant comin' up, but it still hurt 

And can't nobody change this 

It's nineteen-ninety-fo', and we up against the same shit 

I never understood why 

I could never see a man cry, 'til I seen a 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 

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 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 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: 

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 blackin' 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, 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 feelin' outta place 

So you standin' in the tunnel of eternal light, 

And you see the ones you never learned to love in life 

Make the choice, let it go, but 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 gotta wonder why, 

I never seen a man cry 'til I seen that man die 

*chorus*
