One song was inspired by God the other denouncing him and religion also proclaiming himself as God and a prophet. Two very different songs and Satan clearly had his hands on one of them

Main reason I'm comparing them :smugdraper:

What about Scarface's "Heaven" from The Fix? Dope song, too.

I'll go with Nas because that one has been holding me down for a decade. Back to back with "Dance" is some epic sh-t.

[Chorus]
(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 with gas and be out the front door in a FLASH
Before reconsidering, this Hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do (do)
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you
To Hell with you

[Nas]
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 believing His power?
Even if you couldn't see, but you could feel would you still doubt him?
How would you start acting?
Would you try to put the ki's down?
Thinking every drug sell that you make in the streets He can see now
Would a fiend even want to get high, would he stop smoking?
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 an atheist
It's hard taking this
Racist planet where they take another brother in a handcuff
Even if he innocent nikka get on the car put your motherfukking hands up
Thinking I'm a lose it
My mom's in chemo
Three times a week, yo keep trying but people
Is hard and God your young soldier's not so bold
But needs you
This world's my home but world I would leave

[Chorus]

[Nas]
nikka what you think I'ma stop building
I'ma 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 coke
Pass 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 to them cats never looked back Cristal blowing dub sacks
That's when it all just hit me
You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less my nikka spend it all with me
I'd give it all away quickly
Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks free of any autographs so
not to be recognized forgive me
It's becoming unbearable
Making hits is easy
Put a famous bytch on the hook there you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise
Preachers touching on altar boys
Sodomizing not realizing God is watching before the Lord
How can they do the devil's work?
A man giving another man head in church
Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought wishing that I fled the Earth.

[Chorus]

Y'all will appreciate god's son as an album way more when one of your parents die. Half you people don't even know :to:

No lie...I see what your saying.

Just lost my pops a couple months ago

and for no apparent reason God's Son has been in constant rotation. Along with "The Lost Tapes" (Poppa Was A Player fukkS me up now)

I see this is an old thread thread but Nas' Heaven of course, and I usually give the edge to Jay in these debates.

Side note, I prefer Godson to Stillmatic by far, one of my favorite Nas albums.

My condolences family.
