After I heard this song I sat there with my mouth wide open for 20 minutes. It just hit me that hard. "I never seen a man cry til I seen a man die." It tells us two big things. Scarface tells you how everybody puts on a hard face and tries to act tough, concealing any feelings from fear of being seen as weak. And you instantly understand the type of people he faced in his neighborhood, and the attitude of gangbangers and these lost souls, the type of person the main character in this song is. Secondly, Scarface tells us how often people die. Crying is a very common thing for people to do and see everywhere. At first glance it seems like he's saying that people cry very rarely. He actually means that people die very often.
Leave it to Face to put a couple of the most powerful messages in one line. Beautiful
