HEAVEN (feat. EDEN)

I only ask to get ahead of me

So I can see the man in the cemetery

And I was in love with the prophecy

Just another slave to hypocrisy

People distracted by the world outside

And fail to see the world when they close their eyes

I'm feeling the imbalance, hatred and malice between us

Why we at war? We should be more like Venus

I was born by the river, raised by the queen

Faced with reality, mind willing to dream

Contemplating a life of freedom

I was forced to turn my back on the door that saw everyone leaving

Rock bottom is a strong foundation

Built an empire on it with some words in the basement

We write the truth and then they write us off

Just a couple lines that Malcolm was willing to cross

I came back home with a rose and some torn up clothes

Played it next to a desperate note but it remained composed

I said Lord for I see but I cannot sail

How does one win when he's ready to fail?

I know you know my heart, my spirit, my soul

I been overwhelmed by fear since I was nine years old

She came in my life so unexpected

She felt love before I had it resurrected

If you are, you are who you say you are

You are out of this world, you are Jupiter

Now that would explain this new atmosphere

We didn't plan it to be hard and to be so far

But we've gone, baby we've gone

So you take it off when I turn it on

Walk in my mind into the unknown

I walk in your's and we can get lost

Tell me when you're down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down

And I was born by the river, raised by the queen

Faced with reality, mind willing to dream

Contemplating a life of freedom

I was forced to turn my back on the door that saw everyone leaving

Rock bottom is a strong foundation

Built an empire on it with some words in the basement

We write the truth and then they write us off

Just a couple lines that Malcolm was willing to cross

You said you had a tunnel for a past

And described when you saw the end glisten like a star

While from so far I'm an alien

We see different worlds in our craniums

See these are vivid words, vivid dreams, lonely nights

You're gonna spend all your time making money

'Til you spend all your money making up for lost time

Life ain't easy, sunrise by the stream, tell life to meet me

Stuck in a place only I can free me, deep in the east in the belly of the beast

I know you know that this ain't easy but I get my bottles for free

Deep in the valley where my shadow don't sleep, we get to stalling while brothers are balling

'Cause we are more life for the ready

More hard, Henny gets buried with the Penny

I die, you die, they die heavy

You live, I live, not so many

Welcome to the matrix

Parallel world where we're living

It took space to see the world that we live in

And it took time, it took pain, it took vision

And I've never been here before

She came down like a meteor

Yes, I'm young and I'm insecure

I've seen too many leave like a sycamore

And she cool - like ice sometimes

But she can save you - from your hardest times

Like old Gods and I don't really fuck with the others

My back gets up with the others

And I'm analyzing the time and I'm seeing this widen

My pen gets to pain like an ambulance siren

I pray to not pray, then I pray it again

I been deep where faith is the only way

I depict my own flaws and slam my own doors

The shit I've seen would leave you lock-jawed

I'm a young fighter, deep thinker, raw writer

Walk through the dark 'til the sun finds your shadow

The more they hate me the more they help me

The more they love me the more they hurt me

The dynamic of a lonely journey

I failed to say a word but I know that you heard me

Your absence is present, I feel it

Praying on the day I count my blessings and mean it

Close my eyes and see the devil trynna be Jesus

In a world where believers are trynna be leaders

But he's completely lost

I'm just my darkest fear and my greatest achievement

Thousands of snakes and I'm back with EDEN

Faith is staying strong without notorious reason

They say God is love and that love is freedom

But love took my heart and it left me bleeding

Love had my on my knees begging and pleading

Love showed me the valley of the shadow of death

Love showed me life is a beautiful test

A man told me people live Hell on Earth

That's why I had to put down a hell of a verse

They say life's a bitch but she's beautiful

Motherfuckers out here are tryna snatch her purse

And she said who you gonna be?

Every breath's cost but that karma comes free

She can see I'm not afraid to show her my fears

And when I'm gone I hope she remembers the words I whispered in her ear

Said she said who you gonna be?

Every breath's cost but that karma comes free

She can see I'm not afraid to show her my fears

And when I'm gone I hope she remembers the words I whispered in her ear

I said, yeah, I got a tunnel for a past

And described when I saw the end glisten like a star

Where I'm from's so far, I'm an alien

We see different worlds in our craniums

And now a great thing in the street

Seems any human nod

Where a move in strange democracy

The million masks of God

The million masks of the joker

Because the joker is the player

The trick player

Who plays ultimately the great trick on himself

So really, there can be no resentment about this, nobody to blame, nobody to turn around in the end and say:

"You, you bastard! You did this to me!"

Because it's always you, who are ultimately responsible

When life draws for the side table

I feel to pause, watch it flash before your maple eyes

Being fed lies through the cage we've been held inside

Heaven is the answer to the question that we're living in

And there's an opposite to everything

Yang and yin compelled by the sedative we're letting in

Time counting down 'til there's no tomorrows left for me

One-way trip to heaven had me sitting in the window seat

Long talks with the man in the mirror

But he don't move when I move, we used to be together

I see clouds when I close my eyes

But it ain't rained in years, it might rain tonight

I might see everything clear, tear after tear

I'm gonna climb my fears, you can't tell me 'bout peers

Can't trust 'em 'til the end 'cause the end ain't your friend

When you run out of love 'cause all that love got spent

I've been spending these days on my own

Being thrown like a stone into the sea, the unknown

Escaped a long line of clones in the queue for purpose

People that don't know themselves make me nervous

They call this home, I call it the unknown

Trapped between letting go and the need for control

Still looking for the spaceship that we crashed and burned

For we were looking for Heaven when we fell on Earth

You said that I said that I'm yours

I told you that I made myself at home in your flaws

They be learning from the greats while I learn from their mistakes that found the Devil's gates

Amen
