Scarface - A Minute To Pray & A Second To Die Lyrics
[scarface]Life goes on in the streets of my hood when you dieBut some cry, and gets by, while others choose to wonder why..His life was took at such an early ageA young nigga who lived in a rage died by the gaugeHe used to hustle on the street cornersHis mom would always beg him to quit, but he didnt wannaAs he got older, he got even worseTil a real nigga showed him the purpose of a hearseA cold night in his hood, he had a tangleThe brother he was squabblin with, had broke his ankleLaid him out in the drivewaySome people knew he wouldnt survive, but heyI aint the one to speak up on anothersAll I can do is try to open his eyes and help the brotherHe chose the wrong way and thats the route he tookBorn and brought up as an angel but he died as a crookHe had a baby that he couldnt raiseAnd she will never see her father again, cause hes in a graveI always think about ? ?My daddy was a dopeman, so ima be a dope dealerHow will the family explain it?My daughter had a baby for a caine head!He aint around to see her walkDry her eyes when she cries, pick her up when she fallsJust the thought of a kid livin fly *****s me upWhen his girl has to raise a bastard childIt gets deeper, he used to punch her and beat herShe was loyal to his ass but accused as a cheaterShe had a good deck but she picked the wrong cardHad a kid, now shes realizin life is hardA big time dope dealers all she wantedWho drove a jag or a benz so she could flaunt itThe situations got me guessin..But the answer remains to be a questionHe lived his life in a lieI guess you only get a minute to pray, and a second to die..[scarface]It was crazy how it happenedSome niggaz rolled by in the riviera cappinAll I could see was a pistol spittin roundsAnd the boy was just screamin as he fell to the groundA woman yelled - get an ambulanceBut I knew he was dead, he didnt stand a chanceYou shoulda seen him, he was scaredA bullet goes to his chest, and one to his headHe just laid there in silence..And all I heard was the sirensParamedics pulled up..Followed by a law man and then came a firetruckPut his ass on the stretcher..But if he survives, Im willin to betchaHell be out for revengeThey patched him up within a week he was back at it againWent to his brother on the northsideGrab your shit, its a hit, were gonna take a long ridePacked it up in the trunkAk-47, m-11 and a pumpRolled by ? ? on scott streetSchool was lettin out,Yo you aint gonna shoot yet? watch me!Opened his trunk and grabbed a shotgun.... he shot himPut his tooly on the front seatContinued his mission, as he headed down the streetThe kids was just starin at each otherJ.d. rolled by and smoked blacks brotherReached in his coat and grabbed a portFull speed down reed, shot his mom on the porchOn his way down cullardHis brother was just dazed in a shock, why you do it?Why you shot his moms jay? shitHehehehehe.. hah man ***** that *****Went to the store to use the payphoneCalled up mack, aiyyo j.d. homeyHung it up and rolled down daggerHeadin for the nigga he was afterBy the time he arrived at the sceneMalcolm was ready for anythingHe tried to sneak around the back wayNever thought of bein taken out on that dayBlack boy, black coatStood around the corner as he passed slit his throatHe didnt fall so he firedOne to the middle of his skull, hes expiredA whole army came outTwenty-seven niggaz all strapped out of one houseThat how it happens in the acreOne nigga died in the park in the paperShit gets deeper but why?I guess you only get a minute to pray,And a second to die
