A minute to pray and a second to die

[Scarface] Life goes on in the streets of my hood when you die but some cry, and gets by, while others choose to wonder why.. his life was took at such an early age A young nigga who lived in a rage died by the gauge He used to hustle on the street corners His mom would always beg him to quit, but he didn't wanna As he got older, he got even worse til a real nigga showed him the purpose of a hearse A cold night in his hood, he had a tangle The brother he was squabblin with, had broke his ankle Laid him out in the driveway Some people knew he wouldn't survive, but hey I ain't the one to speak up on another's All I can do is try to open his eyes and help the brother He chose the wrong way and that's the route he took Born and brought up as an angel but he died as a crook He had a baby that he couldn't raise and she will never see her father again, cause he's in a grave I always think about ?? "My daddy was a dopeman, so I'ma be a dope dealer" How will the family explain it? "My daughter had a baby for a 'caine head!" He ain't around to see her walk Dry her eyes when she cries, pick her up when she falls Just the thought of a kid livin fly fucks me up when his girl has to raise a BASTARD child It gets deeper, he used to punch her and beat her She was loyal to his ass but accused as a cheater She had a good deck but she picked the wrong card Had a kid, now she's realizin life is hard A big time dope dealer's all she wanted who drove a Jag or a Benz so she could flaunt it The situation's got me guessin.. but the answer remains to be a question He lived his life in a lie I guess you only get a minute to pray, and a second to die ..
