Heaven

[Intro] [Sha Stimuli talking]:
I wanna take y'all on a journey right quick. A lot of people talk about Heaven and Hell. I don't know

[Verse One]:
Look
They say Heaven ain't hard to find, but I think it depends on who's lookin'
They say Heaven might be all in my mind
So it could be somewhere in Brooklyn
'Pac asked if there was a Heaven For A G
I don't know the answer but I wonder in my sleep
About all the killers and the dealers that I see
For sellin' somebody death, is there a Heaven for me?
Nas asked if it was a mile away
Would you drive to it, walk to it, or would you stay?
Right where you are, cause you might be afraid
That paradise would change you, you'd never be the same
Biggie said he never even wanted to go
Too many goodie goodies, no weed, no hoes
I just wanna know if I'm sinnin' on the low
But it comes to the light when I'm done with my life is it over?

[Chorus]:
They say that heaven is
A ten zillion light years away
And just the pure of heart
Will walk a righteous street someday

[Verse Two]:
Follow
There's so many church goers in my family
And one day we spoke about Christianity
I thought they would all be pissed and mad at me
When they heard my music, but I felt real stupid
When they said I had a gift
And I was bound to spread hope and guidance
With my words, said I had the Holy Ghost inside me
But it's gonna take time for my quotes to shine
And have God's power, right now, I'm just close
And on the real, I don't know if I believe
That taking Christ as my savior will achieve
This afterlife of greatness, he sacrificed for our needs
And I thank him, but I just might wanna follow his lead
And maybe that'll be my Heaven
Tell the truth, I got serious in '97
B.I.G. passed and I thought about death
And I thought about what I could leave after I left
So I started writin' crazy and I did my best
To live through my music after I'm out of breath
That's why I hate sleepin', cause it's hard to accept
The fact that we gotta die, my mind won't ever rest
If I sell a million copies, will the gates fly open?
If I'm in church every Sunday will that mean I'll be chosen?
If I don't cheat, lie, steal
Fornicate or murder will I get to live forever?
If that's the case I'll be perfect
Where's Heaven man?

[Chorus]:
They say that heaven is
A ten zillion light years away
And just the pure of heart
Will walk a righteous street someday

[Sha talking]:
And then I start thinkin'. What if Heaven's on Earth? Follow me

[Verse Three]:
Look
You give a homeless man a crib, a blind man vision
A deaf dude wakin' up hearin', you gotta listen
Take a single mother raisin' her kids, on her own
And have her man change his life for his fam and come home
Or a nice MC stayin' true to what he knows
Then he finally, gets a deal and then he blows
A crackhead rehabin', workin' again
Ten year bid finished, first day out the pen'
Or a young woman datin' thinkin' love is just pretend
Years later she's all in it and married her best friend
Doctors say she may never conceive
It felt just like Heaven when she had her first seed
Sorta like the opposite of Adam and Eve
See, they ain't recognize Eden till they had to up and leave
But you gotta open your eyes and really see
Heaven might be right in front of you
Stevie breathe on 'em man

[Chorus]:
They say that heaven is
A ten zillion light years away
And just the pure of heart
Will walk a righteous street someday
