Intro:
This 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 1:
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 punchin' the clock
No need for screamin' at me momma, ?
Plus I wasn't really happy here to start with, let that be told
My old homeboy was robbin' me, and that's three cold
I said "three"
It's all intentional 'cause too don't count
When your own blood's bitter and your homeboys bounce
Who the fuck is you gonna trust when your road doggs is schemin'?
An' every other corner, you're passin' a different demon
An' now the clouds is open
I'm rememberin' this
Your family's your backbone
Your friends ain't shit
Now I believe it when Ronny was sayin', “Back in the days”
When our homeboys left
See the only ones stayed
For that very reason, I'ma try and give it the world
Found heaven in the form of a girl
Everybody's sayin'
Chorus:
(Kelly Price)
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 2:
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 just ain't no song
I'm hearin' niggas makin' up scriptures, and playin' along
Probably sayin' I'm the hypocrite, for judgin' these folks
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
You were aware of your surroundings, yet you still came over
Water shootin' outta your eyes when your head is ?
And the voice is much louder than the voice that you thought
Was the voice of the Holy Spirit
Who changed your life when you hear it?
And the next mornin' 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, it ain't workin'
I asked Him for forgiveness, for every sin I commit
Hopin' He gonna let me stay on His list
And tryin' and get to heaven
America the Beautiful, don't be so cold
How do you expectin' our seeds gonna grow?
When you trap us in the ghetto
And show love to the otha muthafuckers
While we right here starvin' at home
I'd cry if I thought
That me sheddin' a tear might help
Then again, me sheddin' tears don't help
Wanna call up to the President, and see if he know help
Let him know you upset, creep yourself
We all sinners
Facin' the winter wit no socks an' no shoes
In a position where we all gon' loose
Tell the penitentiaries, we gonna need more schools
What the fuck is we gonna do?
Sit around and let the world pass us by?
Waitin' on a message from the Reverend
And he ain't but another man tryin' to get to heaven
