Song: Heaven Is So Close |
| [00:15.000] |
Lord, have mercy (try to sleep) Heaven is so close |
| [00:15.000] |
(But with all this bloodshed and letdowns) |
| [00:15.000] |
When you born and die and live in the ghetto |
| [00:15.000] |
(Just won't let me sleep, but it's one thing) |
| [00:15.000] |
Heaven is so close (that's gotta smile on my face) |
| [00:15.000] |
When you born and die |
| [00:18.829] |
(Now I know heaven is so close, so close) |
| [00:20.290] |
And live in the ghetto (just listen to me) |
| [00:24.500] |
|
| [00:26.550] |
If murder is hereditary, then dyin young is my destiny |
| [00:26.766] |
f** doin time for felonies, the hell for what ya tellin me |
| [00:29.747] |
It's what I'm seein, believin it's a better side |
| [00:33.126] |
All I'm seein is my genocide, suicidal thoughts |
| [00:35.906] |
Brought my mamma broken hearts |
| [00:38.983] |
I threw a jack at n***as, and drinkin liquor |
| [00:40.848] |
To help me see God quicker |
| [00:42.904] |
All it did was have me mad to hear my daughter call me Mr |
| [00:45.008] |
Her mamma shoulda taught her better |
| [00:47.651] |
Now I'm writin Dear God letters |
| [00:49.416] |
Askin how my cousin went from makin hella Gs through the years |
| [00:51.461] |
To doin $30 hits and alcoholic tears |
| [00:54.900] |
Fears from these streets scared me |
| [00:57.752] |
I decided a long time ago, to let the Lord guide me |
| [01:00.350] |
Through this optimism, kids dyin, I don't know |
| [01:03.506] |
I guess I miss em, like lil James Darby |
| [01:06.123] |
And Lil Mann out the projects |
| [01:08.465] |
Never got to see they happy years, all they felt |
| [01:10.388] |
Was the blast from a lost tear, and last year |
| [01:12.989] |
The nation felt shame, but only they mothers felt the pain |
| [01:15.900] |
To hear the Lord call they name |
| [01:18.584] |
This game has got me feelin like I'm losin all my sanity |
| [01:20.188] |
At times I think the world is blamin me |
| [01:23.099] |
But I ain't lettin em get me down |
| [01:25.150] |
I'm keepin my head up cause I know I got a dosage |
| [01:27.174] |
Heaven is so close |
| [01:30.200] |
Chorus (2X): Heaven is so close |
| [01:31.117] |
(Now I lay me down to sleep) |
| [01:33.501] |
When you born and die and live in the ghetto |
| [01:34.206] |
(I pray the Lord my soul to keep) |
| [01:36.772] |
Heaven is so close |
| [01:37.090] |
(And if I should die before I wake) |
| [01:39.828] |
When you live and die and live in the ghetto |
| [01:40.150] |
(I pray the Lord my soul to take) |
| [01:43.425] |
|
| [01:47.224] |
Bill Clinton, you gon feel me |
| [01:53.724] |
Takin welfare from ghetto children |
| [01:55.303] |
That's why every hood infected and lookin blurry |
| [01:57.477] |
I mean every homie I know in the dope game |
| [02:00.299] |
We sell it, but who make c**aine? |
| [02:03.093] |
Artificial contaminated |
| [02:06.049] |
My little homie lost his life for rims that was gold plated |
| [02:08.397] |
211 ain't nothin but robbery |
| [02:11.943] |
187 ain't nothin but a hobby |
| [02:14.671] |
In the ghetto, d**h is like a ??? cheese |
| [02:17.538] |
I mean yo best friend turn into yo enemy |
| [02:20.616] |
Lord knows, I don't wanna die young |
| [02:23.262] |
Earth is hell, heaven is eternal sun |
| [02:26.482] |
Bury me a G, f** dyin poor |
| [02:29.405] |
The hood got me trapped, I'm a victim of this ghetto |
| [02:32.375] |
Mouth full of cooked rocks, standin on the block |
| [02:35.022] |
100 Gs, two keys, runnin from crooked cops |
| [02:37.935] |
I done seen little kids lose they life |
| [02:40.968] |
I done seen n***as mammas smoke the pipe |
| [02:43.879] |
I done grew up with k**as, my brother died a drug dealer |
| [02:46.496] |
Like Spice 1 say, even young n***as |
| [02:50.260] |
Die in the ghetto |
| [02:53.222] |
You never know when it's yo time, or my time to go |
| [02:55.035] |
Chorus (2X) Silkk- Man, whattup dawg, I found out |
| [02:59.252] |
None of us can cheat d**h |
| [03:03.679] |
No point in ?fakin it out? |
| [03:05.879] |
See, I was born hustlin |
| [03:07.673] |
Ain't no way for us out here |
| [03:08.962] |
In the streets to get off |
| [03:11.197] |
But, uh, judgement comes for all of us |
| [03:13.824] |
And when it's yo time to go |
| [03:16.691] |
Can you go clear conscience? |
| [03:18.419] |
|
| [03:20.563] |
See they often told me heaven was close |
| [03:21.562] |
But I think it's even closer, look |
| [03:23.159] |
It ain't no fun to have yo name on wanted posters, look |
| [03:24.968] |
See I ain't got time for b**hes |
| [03:27.645] |
I keep my hand on my 9, and keep my mind on my riches |
| [03:29.818] |
It's a everyday struggle, everyday hustle |
| [03:33.087] |
Tryin to make bank |
| [03:35.325] |
I went to jail for a couple of months |
| [03:36.557] |
And I had some time to think |
| [03:37.708] |
See I really can't take it |
| [03:39.575] |
Everybody changed up at the last minute to go to heaven |
| [03:41.881] |
They ain't gon make it |
| [03:44.458] |
The government ain't got no love for none of us |
| [03:46.041] |
God, you gotta understand, just think if you was one of us |
| [03:48.072] |
I be forever ballin in my sleep |
| [03:51.021] |
Be countin, thinkin, of ways to get out, it's just too deep |
| [03:53.164] |
I seen so many things and wonder, "Why me?" |
| [03:56.860] |
I pray to God let my mom die before I |
| [03:59.504] |
She pray to God, "Don't let my son die before me" |
| [04:01.480] |
And I wonder, if it's low |
| [04:03.586] |
They say heaven is a million miles away |
| [04:05.248] |
But to Silkk it seem so close |
| [04:07.292] |
|
| [04:08.574] |
Heaven is so close when you born and die and live in the ghetto |
| [04:09.383] |
Heaven is so close when you born and die and live in the ghetto |
| [04:14.848] |
(yeah, you know what I'm sayin?) |
| [04:19.860] |
This goes out to all my dead homies out there |
| [04:22.000] |
(I know how it is up there, you know what I'm sayin?) |
| [04:22.899] |
You see what I'm sayin? (no red or blue, no black or white |
| [04:24.346] |
We all the same up there, fool) Sometimes they point the finger |
| [04:27.132] |
At us ghetto people (you know this go out to all my little dead |
| [04:30.543] |
Homies out there) Mr. Serv-On, Master P, Silkk the Shocker |
| [04:32.728] |
(P brother, Kevin Miller, slugged up) It ain't changed |
| [04:34.271] |
(You know lil Reg, Joshua Carter) Everybody need life insurance |
| [04:36.084] |
(Howard little brother, you know what I'm sayin? mistakes happen) |
| [04:38.672] |
You never know when it's gon be yo time to go |
| [04:41.870] |
(you know what I'm sayin, n***a, we with you) |
| [04:42.740] |
Cause if you live in the ghetto |
| [04:43.958] |
(And my cousin Randall, n***a, I'm gon always see you n***a) |
| [04:44.452] |
It's like you one step away from heaven |
| [04:46.781] |
(whether I'm dead or alive, my homie D. Fuller, n***a |
| [04:47.285] |
My homie Mouse, you know what I'm sayin, no matter how you went fool |
| [04:51.233] |
You still got love from me,it's gon be like to everybody |
| [04:54.860] |
That done lost somebody, whether it's your mother, your uncle |
| [04:57.870] |
Your sister, your brother, your child, it doesn't matter |
| [05:00.446] |
You know what I'm sayin, they all up there, it's gon be one big party |
| [05:03.536] |
With tangaray and hennesy and pineapple juice, they even get up like |
| [05:07.517] |
That up there, you know, so y'all take it easy out there |
| [05:10.949] |
For No Limit, T-R-U, fool, Heaven, Heaven) |
| [05:13.416] |
Chorus to fade |
