Lyrics
HEaVEN-oN-EaRTH LYRICS
(RAP VERSE) Another day, up in this life dogfighting, The status quo is political hope know where in sight, police Anxieties, racist depictions end us in violence. The bigger picture, kill our visions keep us from rising. So many blacks in the pen ink our pens to write, while American systems, love black culture but hate black life.
(CHORUS) Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care, Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care
(1ST VERSE) Lately, I've been seeing more, hatred than love,could it be a piece, speech, ain't enough.watching hopeless people hope till hope is gone, I give my last breath of hope, to pray for their souls.made a promise to your seed that they gon eat, willing to go back to Baker Rowe just to feed em, Need a vest on just to walk Chicago streets, before death coming claim ya, gotta get right with Jesus! Ain't nothing worse! then having something and don't do cause you don't care! While my city dying, we're just standing here.
(PRE-CHORUS) Saying that they know, until they're really there, man they really don't know, banging and them blicky's is all them youngsters is knowing, grown 14 with the world on his shoulders.
(CHORUS) Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care, Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care
(2ND VERSE) Tryna keep my joy through, all of this hurt, like smiling around mean mugs, staying clean while in dirt. Like Marvin said What's Going on, Why brother's killin brother's, genocide on your own kind, All for the love of Money!
The Love Of Money is the root of all that street evil, if you promote that then you're killing off your own people, need a vest on just to walk Chicago's streets,before death come and claim ya better get right with Jesus.Instead of going to church, they self-medicating cause it hurts! Ohoh LORD!While our cities dying, We're just standing heeere.
(PRE-CHORUS) Saying that they know, until they're really there, man they really don't know, banging and them blicky's is all them youngsters is knowing, grown 14 with the world on his shoulders.
(CHORUSES) Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care,
Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that careTrying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care, Trying to see Heaven on earth amongst all of this Hell, Hard to find someone that care,Trying to see, Heaven on Earth,this Hell, that cares,Trying to see, Heaven on Earth,this Hell, that cares.
