Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's gonna be some shit you might not understand
But, you may have to rewind this shit a few times
Heaven, Heaven, check it out
[Verse 2]
I know tomorrow ain't a promise
That's why I live one day at a time
So when it's my turn, there'll be no cryin'
I'm aware that when my number's called I'm punching the clock
No need for screamin' at me momma, I'm out
[Verse 3]
And plus I wasn't really happy here to start with, let that be told
My own homeboy was robbin' me, and that's three cold
I said three, it's all intentional, 'cause two don't count
When your own blood is bitter and your homeboys bounce
[Verse 4]
Who the fuck is you gonna trust when your road dog is schemin'?
And every other corner, you're passin' a different demon
And now the closets open I'm rememberin' this
Your families your backbone, your friends ain't shit
[Verse 5]
Now I believe it when Rhonda was sayin' "Back in the days"
When our homeboys left, she the only ones stayed
For that very reason, I'm a try to give her the world
Found Heaven in the form of a girl, everybody's sayin'
[Verse 6]
My angel, my sunshine
That's the day that I found Heaven in the form of a girl
My best friend, my good time
That's the day that I found Heaven in the form of a girl
[Verse 7]
Listen to different scriptures, they teach on God
And if you ain't never met him, don't speak on God
I'm serious about religion, this shit ain't no song
I'm hearin' **** makin' up scriptures, and playin' along
Probably sayin' I'm the hypocrite for judgin' these folks
[Verse 8]
But you can tell he ain't a Christian by the way that he spoke
I pray for everybody, hopin' that they hear that voice
The one that paralyzes you from head down, boy
When you aware of your surroundin's, yet you still can't move
Water shootin' outta your eyes, you hear this dude
And the voice is much louder than the voice that you thought
Was the voice of the holy spirit, gon' change your life when you hear it
[Verse 9]
And the next morn' you wake up and the world look lighter
The grass greener, and the sun brighter
I know the feelin' first hand, I witnessed the sights
When I allowed the Lord to come in my life
And it was like (Heaven)
But I'm a man, I ain't perfect, that's a poor excuse, that ain' workin'
I asked Him for forgiveness, for every sin I commit
Hopefully he gonna let me stay on his list
And tryin' and get to (Heaven)
[Verse 10]
America the beautiful, don't be so cold
How you expectin' our seeds gonna grow?
When you trap us in the ghetto
And show love to the other motherfuckers
While we right here starvin' at home
I'd cry if I thought that me sheddin' a tear might help
[Verse 11]
Then again, me sheddin' tears don't help
Wanna call up to the President and see if he know help
Let him know you up shit creek yourself
We all sinners facin' the winter with no socks and no shoes
In a position where we all gon' lose
[Verse 12]
Instead of penitentiaries, we gon' need more schools
Or what the fuck is we gonna do?
Sit around and let the world pass us by?
Waitin' on a message form the reverend
And he ain't but another man, tryin' to get to (Heaven)
