Lyrics

[00:24.16] If heaven was a mile away
[00:25.29]
[00:26.42] Would I pack up my bags
[00:28.10] And leave this world behind
[00:29.35]
[00:30.16] If heaven was a mile away
[00:31.22]
[00:33.02] Or save it all for you
[00:35.32]
[00:36.07] If heaven was a mile away
[00:37.07]
[00:38.00] Would I fill the tank up with gas
[00:40.75] And be out the front door in a flash
[00:42.62]
[00:44.37] Before reconsidering this hell with you
[00:49.42] It ain't you it's the things you do
[00:52.24] It's tearing my heart in two
[00:54.86]
[00:56.47] I would of fell with you to hell with you
[01:00.80] If heaven was a mile away
[01:01.67] And you could ride by the gates
[01:03.18] Would you try to run inside
[01:04.29] When it opens would you try to die today
[01:06.17] Would you pray louder
[01:07.23] Finally believing His power
[01:08.54]
[01:09.10] Even if you couldn't see
[01:10.41] But you could feel would you still doubt him
[01:12.47] How would you start acting
[01:13.79] Would you try to put the ki's down
[01:15.47] Thinking every drug sell
[01:16.40] That you make in the streets He can see now
[01:18.34] Would a fiend even want to get high
[01:19.84] Would he stop smoking
[01:20.83] If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in
[01:24.27] To get away and escape from the craziness
[01:26.95] And I bet you there's a heaven for an atheist
[01:29.32] It's hard taking this racist planet
[01:30.76] Where they take another brother in a handcuff
[01:32.63] Even if he innocent nigga get on the car
[01:34.76] Put your motherfucking hands up
[01:36.44] Thinking I'm a lose it my mom's in chemo
[01:39.18] Three times a week yo keep trying but people
[01:42.12] Is hard and God your young soldier's not so bold
[01:44.61] But needs you this world's my home but world I would leave
[01:48.05] If heaven was a mile away
[01:49.17]
[01:50.23] Would I pack up my bags
[01:51.78] And leave this world behind
[01:53.91] If heaven was a mile away
[01:55.30]
[01:56.97] Or save it all for you
[01:59.09]
[01:59.98] If heaven was a mile away
[02:01.04]
[02:02.03] Would I fill the tank up with gas
[02:04.22] And be out the front door in a flash
[02:06.90]
[02:08.34] Before reconsidering this hell with you
[02:13.45] It ain't you it's the things you do
[02:15.83]
[02:16.58] It's tearing my heart in two
[02:19.56]
[02:20.57] I would of fell with you to hell with you
[02:24.88] Nigga what you think
[02:25.56] I'ma stop building I'ma stop feeling
[02:26.74] Like I'm Amistad's great great grandchildren
[02:28.56] How I'm not gonna want to make millions
[02:30.80] Since the quarter water days
[02:31.67] In the hallways making fake coke
[02:33.06] Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper
[02:34.23] In my mouth all day
[02:36.30] But then my style has quite a while
[02:37.92] That same type as Ill and Al Skratch
[02:39.54] Game time to them cats never looked back
[02:41.10] Cristal blowing dub sacks
[02:42.34]
[02:43.09] That's when it all just hit me
[02:44.77] You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less
[02:47.01] My nigga spend it all with me
[02:48.38] I'd give it all away quickly
[02:49.39]
[02:49.91] Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks
[02:51.46] Free of any autographs so not to be recognized
[02:53.21] Forgive me it's becoming unbearable making hits is easy
[02:57.28] Put a famous bitch on the hook
[02:58.53] There you go with a platinum CD
[03:00.38] I know you heard the noise
[03:01.45] Preachers touching on altar boys
[03:02.64] Sodomizing not realizing
[03:04.45] God is watching before the Lord
[03:06.32] How can they do the devil's work
[03:07.63] A man giving another man head in church
[03:09.25] Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought
[03:10.75] Wishing that I fled the earth
[03:12.00] If heaven was a mile away
[03:13.25]
[03:14.25] Would I pack up my bags
[03:15.71] And leave this world behind
[03:17.96] If heaven was a mile away
[03:19.02]
[03:21.02] Or save it all for you
[03:23.28]
[03:24.15] If heaven was a mile away
[03:25.22]
[03:26.02] Would I fill the tank up with gas
[03:28.33] And be out the front door in a flash
[03:30.95]
[03:32.32] Before reconsidering this hell with you
[03:36.88]
[03:37.51] It ain't you it's the things you do
[03:39.63]
[03:40.56] It's tearing my heart in two
[03:42.87]
[03:44.12] I would of fell with you to hell with you
[03:48.76]
[03:49.70] You trapped in your own hell
[03:51.25] Every day I wakeup I'm blessed
[03:52.76] Every day you wakeup
[03:53.69] And breathe another breath you blessed
[03:55.51]
[03:56.33] It's all the niggaz runnin' around talk about I'm fucked up
[03:58.70] I gotta get on I gotta I'm in a grind
[04:00.63] I'm fucked up yeah we're all in the grind
[04:02.50] But look at the beautiful shit around you it's a beautiful life
[04:05.49] All my niggaz locked up keep yo heads up
[04:07.93] Heaven's just a mile away I'm talkin' heaven on earth
[04:10.74] Ain't got nottin' to do with money
[04:12.18] Got nottin' to do with non-material
[04:14.05] I'm talkin' about heaven in your own heart
[04:15.86] In your own world baby in your own existence
[04:17.74]
[04:18.49] To my moms look at me baby
