HEAVEN (?)

[Intro]

Yo, it’s heaven, yo

Ayo

 

[Verse 1]

I met my homeboy Mike at that old pizza spot

I let his soul, his voice, his eyes stare at me, who needs a Glock?

I don’t know what life is, but Mike was sure that death was life

He told me, “Ra, the lights of Heaven are just checks, and this the price

An eternal trap, we inside it, angels sing threats for less than 9.99”

There’s blood on the hands of God, but who’s really God?

Is He love? Is He like a mom or like a heavy machine gun?

Like Crouch said, “Please take me back,” a deadly routine, son

I miss my ignorance, I miss myself before gettin’ smart

What’s the difference of skin if we both got the same heart?

Mike said to me, “The day I’m gone, you might be at this spot

Drinkin’ and eatin’ pizza like it’s normal, death ain’t wrong”

Fifteen years later, I never met a soul like him, he lost his soul

Ironically, he took his own life, the worst sin in his own words

I still think of Mike, he never lied, I was sittin’ in the same spot, what a world

I hope you’ve reached Heaven, what does it look like?

My old friend Mike (yeah)

 

[Hook]

I’m not strong (only in death)

I’m not wrong (holy is threats)

I’m not a fool (only in death)

We not cool (lonely to death)

We ain’t really tryin’ to understand what’s God (yo)

’Cause in fact we all burnin’ in the same pot (yeah)

I’m not strong (only in death)

I’m not wrong (holy is threats)

I’m not a fool (only in death)

We not cool (lonely to death)

We ain’t really tryin’ to understand what’s God (yo)

’Cause in fact we all burnin’ in the same pot (yeah)

 

[Verse 2]

Now what do we have in common with a lonely earth?

It’s hollow, we all hollow, just like this rock we call home

We follow the borrowed clock, tickin’ faster at our souls

So by tomorrow, when God lifts up, I’ll be feelin’ alone

They say money is the root of all evil, but I doubt it

Every day I think the rot is the people around it

Y’all don’t read lyrics no more, y’all bleed in critics outta boredom

Y’all gon’ be clinically corpses, needin’ gimmicks outta whoredom

I met Jesus when I was just a kid

I let Jesus stare at me: “Who is He?”

He told me that everything on Earth is now forgotten

Our homes, and anything we worked for, locked outta Heaven

We are buried by God, eternally cursed, He left us

If you care, then cry, perfectly cursed, He been us

Now I’m not sayin’ I hate God, I’m just sayin’ we like God

So why we stayin’ in place? Uh, why we facin’ to cry? Uh

Metaphors that escape your understanding, boy

Get aboard, man, I shape your everlasting, boy

But what is Heaven? I don’t know

 

[Hook]

I’m not strong (only in death)

I’m not wrong (holy is threats)

I’m not a fool (only in death)

We not cool (lonely to death)

We ain’t really tryin’ to understand what’s God (yo)

’Cause in fact we all burnin’ in the same pot (yeah)

I’m not strong (only in death)

I’m not wrong (holy is threats)

I’m not a fool (only in death)

We not cool (lonely to death)

We ain’t really tryin’ to understand what’s God (yo)

’Cause in fact we all burnin’ in the same pot (yeah)

To go to Heaven first, we gotta pass through Hell

What is right? What is wrong? We cannot tell

To go to Heaven first, we gotta pass through Hell

I’m not strong

I’m not wrong

I’m not a fool

We not cool

 

[Outro]

Remember: to go to Heaven first, we gotta pass through Hell

Yeah
