Verse 1:
He greets his father with his hands up
他伸開雙臂，迎接與父親的重逢
Rehabilitated slightly, glad to be the mans child
回歸了正常生活，很榮幸能做這個男人的兒子
The world is different since he seen it last
外面的世界已經和他上一次親眼見識時大相徑庭了
Outta jail been seven years and he's happy that he's free at last
七年的牢獄生活盼到了頭，很高興他終於自由了
All he had was his mother's letters
那時他只能靠母親寫的信活著
Now he's mobile and he's gotta make a changed and make it for the better
如今他已自由，他打算洗心革面，努力改變
But he's black so he's got one strike against him
不過他終歸是黑人，而且有過一次前科
And he's young plus he came up in the system
他還太年輕，又撞上了這樣的年代
But he's smart and he's finally makin' eighteen
他夠聰明，終於成長為一個男人
And his goal's to get on top and try to stay clean
他的目標是做一番事業，並努力保持清白
So he's callin' up his homie who done came up
於是他叫來了曾經那些要好的兄弟
Livin' lavish now they dealin' wit' the same stuff
他們卻依然逍遙法外，還進行著那些勾當
And had that attitude that who he was was worth man
他們不斷告訴他，應該像原來一樣
And with that fucked up attitude he killed his first man
於是帶著別人的煽動和態度，他殺了一個人
Now its different he done did dirt
自此一切都變了，他的手不再乾淨了
And realized killin' men meant comin' up
他意識到殺了人，終要付出代價的
But it still hurt
這陰影永不消散
And can't nobody change this
沒人能幫得了他
It's 1994 and we up against the same shit
如今是1994了，每個人都面臨著同樣的境地
I never understood why
我不曾理解
I could never see a man cry
一個男人為何會哭泣
Until I see a man die
直到我見證了人的離去
Chorus:
Face: A man cry

Verse 2:
想像生命中那些美好時刻
Imagine life at its full peak
想像自己終在敵人面前倒下
Then imagine lyin' dead in the arms of your enemy
想像一個沒有悲傷的寧靜世界
Imagine peace on this earth where there's no grief
想像一個從不寧靜的悲傷世界
Imagine grief on this earth where there's no peace
每個人都終將結束自己的生命旅途
Everybody's got a different way of endin' it
當你的號碼被叫到，你只能遵命
And when your number comes for souls then they send it in
如今是你生命中的最後考驗
Now your time has arrived for your final test
我看到你淚水中的恐懼，直到最後一刻
(I see the fear in your eyes and in your final breath)
還要多久，才能從這一切中解脫？
How much longer will it be 'till its all done?
無邊的黑暗與超然的安逸合為一體
Total darkness at ease be it all one
我曾看到他痛苦的掙扎，如今我們該為它慶祝
I watch him dying when he dies, let us celibrate
你帶走了他的生命，卻帶不走關於他的記憶
You took his life but your memory you'll never take
孩子，你會去往另一個世界
You'll be headed to another place
而你的生命將永久映照在你母親的臉上
And the life you used to live will reflect in your momma's face
我仍有些困惑
I still gotta' wonder why
不曾理解男人為何哭泣
I never seen a man cry
直到我見證了人的離去
Untill I seen a man die
Chorus: 2x
我聽著你微弱的呼吸，脈搏已經很弱了
I hear you breathin' but your heart no longer sounds strong
但你似乎是懼怕死亡，仍然抗爭著
But you're kinda scared of diein' so you hold on
你不斷地昏厥，心率越來越低
And you keep on blackin' out and your pulse is low
終於，你放棄了與死神的抵抗，安靜的面對這一切
Stop tryin' to fight the reap but just relax and let it go
死神無法抗拒，但你依然努力著
Because theres no way you can fight it but you'll still try
但無論多麼努力，也終將同他歸去
And you can try it till you fight it but you'll still die
你的靈魂超脫了肉體，心智得到了解脫
Your spirit leaves your body and your mind clears
身體僵硬了，永別了，我的孩子
The rigimore starts to set now you're outta' here
你將進入以太之中
You start your journey into outer space
如同一束閃光，縱使你仍有迷茫
You see yourself in the light but you still feelin' outta' place
你站在通往永生的通道前
So you're standin' in the tunnel of eternal life
看到了那些你從未學會如何去愛的人們
And you see the ones you never learned to love in life
讓這一切成為過往吧，但別忘記
Make the choice let it go and you can back it up
如果上帝未許給你安寧，就虔誠地懺悔吧
If you ain't at peace with God you need to patch it up
準備好擁抱這一切，擁抱自由吧
But if you're ready close your eyes and we can set it free
不懼死亡的戰士，願你安息
There lies a man not scared to die may he rest in peace
有時我仍有困惑
I still got to wonder why
不曾理解男人為何會哭泣
I never seen a man cry
直到我見證了他人的離去
'Till I seen that man die
Chorus: 3x (fades out)
（致生命，致現實）
