Dear Lord Songtext
von Hell Razah

This is about a young black poet, who
Wrote a song called "Project Heaven"

Dear Lord, if you take me away from here
Is it a project heaven awaiting there?
I put my heart and my soul and my faith in there
I feel like sometime I wanna escape from here
Dear Lord, if you take me away from here
Is it a project heaven awaiting there? (This is a story)
I put my heart and my soul and my faith in there
I feel like sometime I wanna escape from here


Age of twelve, he noticed all the stages of hell
And that the riches wasn′t worth to live his life out of jail
But as a knucklehead, climbin' on his top bunk bed
Another lost sheep, misled for his daily bread
′Til he heard what experience said
About the dead don't return if you mentally don't listen and learn
In the beginning was the word
That was spoken but it never was heard
′Cause you too busy puffin′ blunts and on herb
On the curb where they sell they cracks at and dice game
Finish kilos before the night came with ice chains
Plus the cops be a blue gang who know you by name
We ain't nothin′ but a runaway slave that's off the chain
Tryin′ to reach freedom, ridin' on the back of a train
Seventeen on his own, had to hustle to eat
Spoke to God every time he used to mumble and speak
In his room all alone and God under his sheets
Wakin′ up bein' strong where he used to be weak
Seen his peers fall asleep like it coulda been me
Now they restin' where the lost souls and angels meet
He used to care about what went on his feet
24/7 Days a week, catch him where the criminals creep
He in the lab writin′ rhymes to a spiritual beat

As he turn up his radio
He sits down and he write another rhyme


He bowed his head sayin′ ghetto prayers for hood blessings
Then asked the Lord a few questions
Is the projects inside heaven?
Will he survive for his son's wedding?
And if he die will it be a lesson?
May his soul go where it′s destined
This ain't a role play by Charlton Heston
Or John Wayne in a old western
I′m Black Moses, Isaac Hayes
Burnin' that Hendrix purple haze
He heard a voice from the burnin′ flame
Tellin' him God got a certain name
After the birth of the virgin came
Wait for the sign of the serpent's pain
His twelve disciples was just like you
They drew swords, now they draw rifles
Abraham′s sons turned rivals
Holy Qurans verse Holy Bibles
It′s the same cycles
Protect my soul, Archangel Michael

Dear Lord, if you take me away from here
Is it a project heaven awaiting there?
I put my heart and my soul and my faith in there
I feel like sometime I wanna escape from here
Dear Lord, if you take me away from here
Is it a project heaven awaiting there?
I put my heart and my soul and my faith in there
I feel like sometime I wanna escape from here
