Translation
Bilingual
He greets his father with his hands up
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 figured last
All he had was his mother's last
Now he's mobile 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 making 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
Living lavish, now they dealing with the same stuff
And had that attitude that who he was was worth less
And with that fucked up attitude he killed his first man
Now it's different, he done did dirt
And realized killing hurt me coming up but it still hurt
And can't nobody change this
It's 1994 and we up against the same shit
I never understood why
I could never see a man cry 'til I seen a man die

Man cry

Imagine life at its full peak
Then imagine lying dead in the arms of your enemy
Imagine peace on this Earth and there's no grief
Imagine grief on this Earth and there's no peace
Everybody's got a different way of ending it
And when your number comes for souls 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 at ease be it 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
ย
Police! This is the FBI!
