[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
