HOW FAR IS HEAVEN?

I’ve been lost in my own ways and I’m getting weary (How far is heaven)

And I know that I need to change my ways of living (How far is heaven)

From church to Liquor store we search for healing

Big crowded world filled with lonely humans

I’m an M.C. battling with melody envy

Cuz melodies the only thing that seems to sooth me

So we rock organs adjust the B-3’s

Have the folks clap to the rap    taking it

Back to the color – purple – church

Where ladies shouting’ joy in the midst of hurt!

Revolutionaries have a curled fist at first

Then years pass and it turns to a clasp

They ask in the midst of all

God show me ways to resist the fall!

Yes yes yawl

pressure pressure the whole under

can’t stop the crime can’t stop the killing

watch dem life dem ah keep going under

somebody lend ah hand we hafta save dem

roots and culture

we have to teach dem

cause it ah the root of dem life

bigger bigger blessings they hope they receive

them pray for them every night

I gotta change my ways
I need you every  day
Don’t wanna make no excuses
My life is so confusing
Way down deep  inside
I wanna tell ya what’s on my mind
so sick of tryin I’m  dyin
My heart hurts so I can’t keep from cryin
