"Now as I walk into the studio to do this with Jig
I got a phone call from one of my nig’s
He said my homeboy Ree…he just lost one of his kids
and when I heard that I just broke into tears
And seeing it secondhand, you dont really know how this is
but when it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib
so I call mine, and sadden my wife with the bad news
Now we both depressed, counting our blessings ‘cause Brad’s 2
Praying for young souls that laugh at life through the stars
Loving your kids just like they was ours
And I’m hurting for you dog cause aint nobody’s pain like yours
I just go to Heaven and open these doors
And aint no bright side to losing life but you can view it like this
God’s got open hands homie, he’s in the midst
of good company who loves all and hates not one
And one day you gon be with your son
I coulda rapped about my hard times in this song
but Heaven knows I woulda been wrong
I wouldnt’ve been right
It wouldnt’ve been love
It wouldnt’ve been life
It wouldnt’ve been us
This can’t be life"

— Scarface “This Can’t Be Life”
