Below The Heavens pt. I

I'm tryna get to this place that my grandpa told me bout as a child
 Told me only few can make it and the faithless ain't allowed
 Be a Star out your Gang and aim above the clouds
 And if you miss, you'll at least be amongst your own crowd
 I smiled cause now I see what he meant
 I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent
 Gettin closer to Jehovah on their old knees bent
 Praying our mindframes switch and these times change quick
 But I hate to say it brother
 The youth is too stubborn, to stuck on them selves to ever think about others
 They must uncover the scales on their eyes called lies
 Leading the deaf, dumb, and blind to a place my mom told me bout
 Where their sins get cleansed, cause they bathe in flames
 And the only route out is to shout out His name
 I was trained to be a soldier for God
 But as soon as I used my own thoughts
 I kinda got lost in this smog called reality
 Where hell is a fallacy
 And Heaven is a fantasy created by man, so don't believe in it
 You came in here with nothing then your leaving with
 Nothing so retreat from this world of deceitfulness
 But my people it's time to rise
 Realize there's a heaven whether you think it's inside or in the sky
 Reach for it before it's gone eternally
 And you stuck here below the heavens for eternity
 Whose world is this?
 The... woooo-ooorld
 Whose world is this?
 The... woooo-ooorld
 Whose world is this?
 The... woooo-ooorld
 Whose world is this?
 The... woooo-ooorld
 Yo, somebody once told me that I'm already in hell
 Freedom's a state of mind it's just a heart of me's in hell
 I freed my slaved mind so a part of me's in hell
 So even when it's hard to breathe a part of me inhales
 So pardon me...
 You gotta try hard to be yourself...
 Cause you can't go to heaven being anybody else
 I was raised by a reverend yet the lessons didn't help
 Had to get em for myself
 I was told hell is hot but had to feel it for myself
 So I left home
 As a young child smiling as I stepped on
 Facing a world butt-naked without my weapon
 I lost my smile and exchange put a vest on
 Now that my premature stress is gone
 I got problems to face as a man
 I was told either you stand or you fall
 Long as you know that when you walk you holding hands with a God
 That alone can turn the dark
 To a walk in the park
 I only talk from my heart
 So open yours when you're listening
 Every man has his own heaven
 The difference is the way that he envisions it, so
 If you make your heaven pictureless
 By the time you die you'll be drifting in an imageless field
 So fill your heaven full of blessed thoughts
 That's real
 You could stress it or just let it walk
 I got a question, if a man can make his own heaven
 Then can he make his path to get to it too?
 I only spit fluid truth
 And I spit it for the listeners so I'm spittin to you
 You say it's hell I say it's bullshit we're getting through
 Just think about it every man has his own heaven
 But shit, you gotta go through hell to be a man first
 And understand first hell is what you choose to call the present
 That's why you're going through it, I just choose to call it stressin
 To tell you fools the truth
 I don't feel that's what I'm destined
 So you can call it hell but brah...
 I can say I'm below the heavens
 The Woooo-oooooooorld
