Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
[Verse 2]
Have I told you about the time where I almost I died?
Almost tried to, fit in with the new tribe
Really I've never been the one to have my head heavy set
But these days, I feel heaven sent
Wavy, maybe uh, how did time go speed up?
Childhood bedroom, straight to your speakers, speak up
Not saying wrong notes don't heat up
But perfection not a real trait of a healer
I feel all pressure for the next something hill
So strict on the dress code still
I ain't even had a chance for a growth spurt, feel
Y'all stiff neck, spitting on my homework, chill
And I woke up from my death, less of a care to impress
'Cause uh, inner peace be the new success
[Verse 3]
I looked up to the sky 'cause I figured I'm blessed
Hands on my chest, got me singing out 'cause yes, I see
[Verse 4]
Heaven, heaven (Is it real? Is it real I see?)
Heaven, heaven (I feel ya, I see)
Heaven, heaven (Is it real I see?)
Heaven, heaven (Feel, nah)
[Verse 5]
Nah, I'm too sure it means something
Death to all the waking mean, muggin' in the morning
What I thought was the end result
Taught me all the things the end was not about
I came into this space by myself
Lucky, chilling at the pearly gates for some help
And when I finally march my soul off to the beat
I wonder if I'm taking everything that made me lose sleep
We sell peace but it's months to Easter
That's the beast, if you missed Eve, I'm with her
Born again and you can quote me
What I thought would move me last year, yeah don't even warm me
Almost cracked under the pressure
Diamonds shiny, shiny new plaques out in Mecca
'Cause inner peace be the new success
And I guess I figure I'm blessed 'cause I
[Verse 6]
Breath before death
Breath before death
Breath before death
Breath before death
[Verse 7]
Heaven, heaven
(I'm trying to get there)
Heaven, heaven
(Heaven)
Heaven, heaven
(I'm tryna to go)
Heaven, heaven
