Getting ghost in the Ghost
Can you see me? Can you see me?

Have mercy on a Judas, angel wings on a 'ghini
I'm secular, tell the hecklers seckle down
Y'all religion creates division
Like my Maybach partition, and
God is my chauffeur
Boy they love Hova
:ohhh::takedat:
From the south side of Chi
To Brooklyn where I growed up

I confess, God in the flesh
Live among the serpents
Turn arenas into churches
I'm like Michael, recycle, these are not 16's
These are verses from the Bible
Tell that preacher he's a preacher
I'm a motherfukking prophet, smoke a tree of knowledge
Drink from a gold chalice, you gotta love it
I arrive at the pearly gates,I had luggage
Meaning I had baggage
nikkas asking me questions, I don't answer to these busters
Only God could judge us, motherfukkers, uh


If Heaven was a mile away, and you could ride by the gates
Would you try to run inside when it opens, would you try to die today?

Would you pray louder, finally believe in his power
Even if you couldn't see him, but you could feel him, would you still doubt him?
How would you start acting? would you try to put the keys down?
Thinking every drug sale that you make in the streets, he can see now

Would a fiend even want to get high? would he stop smoking?
:gladbron::whoo:
If he knew on his own two feet, he could just stroll in
To get away and escape from the craziness
, and I bet you there's a Heaven for a atheist
It's hard taking this, racist planet, where they take a younger brother in a hand-cuff
Even if he innocent, "nikka get on the car! put your motherfukking hands up!"
Thinking I'mma lose it
My mom's in chemo, three times a week yo, keep trying but people
It's hard
, and God your young soldier's not so bold, but needs you
This world's my home but world I will leave you




Have you ever been to heaven?
Have you ever seen the gates?
Have you bowed unto your highness?
And do you know how heaven taste?
Knock me down

:win::steviej:


(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I pack up my bags and leave this world behind?

(If Heaven was a mile away)
Or save it all for you?

(If Heaven was a mile away)
Would I, fill the tank up, put gas, and be out the front door in a (flash)
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you, it's the thing you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would've fell with you
To Hell with you


:damn::smugbiden::mj:


That's my GOATS, the yin and the yang :deadrose::dead:

I like how Jay-z's sounds almost demonic, but it really isn't. To me it's about the meaning behind religion, and not getting caught up in the specific dividing details.

I like how Nas song deals with how we all really want a heaven or something else after this life

That second Nas verse is :ahh:

nikka what you think, I'mma stop building?
I'mma stop feeling like I'm Amistad's great- great-grandchildren?
How I'm not gonna want to make millions
Since the quarter water days, in the hallways making fake gold caps
With the Reeses Pieces wrapper in my mouth all day
But then my style has quite a while that same type as Ill and Al Skratch
Game time took 'em cats, never looked back, Cristal, blowing dub sacks
That's when it all just hit me, you see the broads and Bentleys is nothing
Lest my nikkas spend it all with me, I'd give it all away quickly

Just to hear them all about some new kicks free
Of any autographs, and not to be recognized forgive me
It's becoming unbearable, making hits is easy
Put a famous bytch on a hook, there you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise, preachers touching on alter boys
Sodomizing, not realizing God is watching, before the Lord
How could they do the Devil's work?
A man give another man head in Church
Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought, wishing that I fled the earth

At least throw him in the convo since the only gotdamn reason this thread was made was because Heaven was the title of the song. How you mention Jay and Nas but not Face? Does Face not warrant your appreciation? :smh: Scust.

Really? it had nothing to do with me listening to Jay and Nas songs?

:what:

Yall never had a song slip your mind. :childplease:
