    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, but 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 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
    Livin' lavish, now they dealin' with the same stuff
    And had that attitude that who he was was worth land
    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 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
    [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 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 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 rigor mortis 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
    Here 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

    My fiance died in a car crash 2 weeks before our wedding in 1993... we were both so young.... then 1994 came and this song came out... it was hard to listen to at first... I changed the radio every time it came on... then one day I let it play and I let the tears flow harder than ever... Now it's one of my favorite songs... I still get chills today when I here it and think of those dark days in the 90s.

    I remember being 14 when this album dropped. I lost one of my closest homes that summer. Washing the blood off my hands and face in the upstairs bathroom of my childhood home. 14 is too young to ever go through something like that. He caught a bullet to the chest while two of us walked home from park. We just got caught between drive-by and it's target. Nothing was ever the same after that.
    This song is synonymous with my understanding of death. Looking back it, was something that kinda helped me process it all but goddamn, 25 years later at 9:03 pm, on 6/13/21, I'm driving back home from my cabin and "random' strikes again. Instantly transported back to them days and as the sun sets here, casting its orange and crimson blanketed hue across the sky, holding the small puffy clouds in place, I've got tears absolutely ripping down my face.
    Time goes on and heals most wounds but some are so deep that they never go away. They scar and leave their mark, sometimes still painful but enough to go on. Music is literally the most powerful magic humans have figured out thus for.

      @@illblahzayill2274 and what part was made up? I didn't ask for you to read my story. Hell, I really don't even give a shit whether it's believed by someone like you, or not. I am curious though, what part is made up in your eyes? Short of finding the story in some paper archive or getting someone close to verify, nothing will be resolved. So, what exactly is your position or motive beyond being a dick head? Wasn't crying to you for up likes, instead telling a personal story that coincides with an incredible song and moment in life. Your feel and need to interject shows nothing more than an inability to empathize and an even bigger show of narcissism and apathetic tendency. Best of luck bro... world must look pretty bleak when you only believe what you see or declare as truth.

    Possibly the best verse ever:
    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

    This must be the coldest but truest lines. You can't fight the reaper. 2022 and it still feels like yesterday every time I play this song.

      I've seen video of a young guy shot, bloody, eyes bulging out of his head fighting to stay alive. Young and strong, barely a man yet, so you know he fighting hard. But he can feel himself painfully nauseous, getting weaker and weaker against his will. He doesn't want to die, but he still dies.

    I swear, Scarface is the Edgar Allan Poe of Hip Hop.
    *2017 Edit: Dang y'all thanks for the love! 💖 Also the reason I compare Edgar Allan Poe to Scarface is that the two are skillful at forming a narrative that at first glance sounds very dark and morbid (take into account Poe's "The Raven" "A Tell Tale Heart" and more in relation to Scarface's "Seen A Man Die" "One Minute to Pray and One Second to Die", and Geto Boys' "My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me" ; they have reoccurring images of death and mental illness). And also even though the delivery and approach of words are dark, there's a lesson or a message that we can all take from. I never meant to put them against each other based on fame and accolades. Just making a connection based off of context.

    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
