[scarface] I woke up to a tune on the radio, check it An old church hymn behind a breakbeat record (yeahhh) Sounded kinda funky so I pumped it, right But rudely interrupted by a neighborhood street fight When will you motherfuckers quit? Every motherfuckin mornin it's the same ol bullshit I peeped to see the thrashin Some nigga runnin with a butcher knife, screamin out "assassin!" He ran by a friend of mine, it bugged him His eyes showed fear, that's the reason why he stuck him Anyway, that's how I seen it You rarely see a nigga kill another nigga, And he doesn't mean it So that's the way I took it Anyway the boy is dead, no matter how you look at it And life goes on. I was feelin kinda funny - aiyyo something's wrong I went to take a shower duke Bumped into the wall and I smooth went through Now I'm thinkin I'm in trouble I reached to touch my face, but I couldn't feel my beard stubble I screamed, "oh lord help!" Looked into the mirror and I couldn't see myself I called up my mom's house And realized somethin was wrong, no doubt She picked up, said "hello" in a low tone I said, "hey ma!" and she hung up the telephone Sick and lookin weary My cousin walks in, I said, "what's up? " but he didn't hear me Started packin up my shit g Looked at a picture of me, put it down and said, "rest in peace" Realizin what he said man I can't talk, I don't exist, I'm a dead man Yeah I guess I'm dead right? I'm goin to the cemetary to peep out action's gravesite And sure enough, there it is My mom and girl talkin, holdin on to brad's kids I look into the box g Son of a bitch! I don't believe it, that's me! Momma kissed me on my head Aww shit. I'm dead (I'm dead)
