Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, what it is, man? What's going on, man? Come on, man
[Verse 2]
She dissed me when she walked out the door
She kissed me, Louis luggage on the floor
Gazing, plus the room was misty
I felt a slight urge telling me to wisen up
I can't previse her, she dead in the right, the don's a jiver
I lost the most powerful piece, my queen
Broke her heart in sixty-six ways for some bitches and schemes
The only thing she left was a rose, and left the Rolls in front of the building
Now how the fuck my pain got exposed? Damn
What happened, man?
[Verse 3]
We done come to a point where it can't be denied no more
I don't even understand what we're still in this for
I didn't mind the sacrifice to keep our love alive
But something died so long ago, just can't be revived
There comes a time you gotta face the situation and make a choice in life
We're caught up in a state of hesitation, and that just won't suffice
Don't get me wrong, I done thought this through, yeah
The way you hold me used to console me
Now all I feel is the emptiness in you, yeah
[Verse 4]
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
(Yo, I don't understand)
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(I don't believe in Heaven with you, ooh)
(It's like, yo, I played my part all the time)
(The things that I do, you don't even acknowledge like that)
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(And who was standing next to you, holding you down?)
[Verse 5]
Yeah, listen to me
You sing my praises every day, you used to tell me how you needed me
I know how proud you were that day I brought home my degree
But you had dreams and all I wanted was for you to see them through
And through it all, I forgot that I once had dreams too
I shoulda had the sense to pay attention, 'cause someone told me to
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and Lord knows it's true
The years that I gave, were they all in vain?
Used to adore me, now you ignore me
How could I know we would end up this way? Yeah
[Verse 6]
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
(I don't, I don't believe in Heaven)
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(I mean, come on, man, you used to be my friend, man)
(Boo, oh)
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(I don't believe in Heaven, that's my life with you, yeah)
(Are you just gonna walk away from me now? That's not fair, man)
[Verse 7]
What hurts me most deep inside
Now that I'm letting go, you seem surprised
I want you back for so many years now
You used to act like you were holding your career down
It's not the dreams I kiss goodbye
It's that we used to be a team, and now we'll live this lie
What's past is past, now listen well
I'm leaving your ass 'cause I'm living in Hell
[Verse 8]
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(Oh, I'm living in Hell, yeah, yeah, oh)
(I'ma tell you something, man, I loved you, man, word up)
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
(See, I don't believe in Heaven, and I know you gotta live your life, boy)
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(So it's your life)
[Verse 9]
And I know you gotta live your life, boy
(Just leave the keys, man, we gon' talk about it)
'Cause this just ain't right
[Verse 10]
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
(Understand that I'm leaving now, said I'm leaving you)
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(Well, yo, I'm always here, man, you know what time it is)
(No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more)
What do I believe in, Heaven or Hell?
(What do we believe in, Heaven or Hell?)
(I don't)
I don't believe in Heaven 'cause I'm living in Hell, and that's my life
(You don't believe in Heaven 'cause you're living in Hell, so it's your life)
That's my life, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You know what I'm saying? It's all good, word up)
[Verse 11]
The Chef, you know how I go
Joy, Joy, Joy, what up?
One, baby, hold it down
