Heaven Songtext

Heaven Songtext
Lost girl lurking in the dark world
Lost virginity at 13, pregnant by 16, herpes at 20
Raised two babies, men that were shady
Momma didn′t raise, she had other worries and her own addictions
She was home, twisted in the zone, flippin' alone
Missing her loved ones, never felt real love
Always wanted it, but know she had to hustle
Real life, stacked up, rats, roaches and dust behind dirty corners
Trapped in the environment with thugs and they client shit
Knew she had to make the money, not rely on them
Let it go, but she had to get the cash so she had to get the flow
What you gon′ do when you know you gotta get the dough?
What you gon' do when you know you gotta get the dough?
What you gon' do?
You could still go to...
Heaven is only a thought away
Living in this place we dwell, born into life
Try to live it well, help me see the light
Cause I really know that
Heaven is only a thought away
No diploma, don′t nobody wanna know her
On a job perspective, she got a record
How she gonna feed her kids, welfare just won′t let her live
Government is taking all her information
Unexpected visitation, looking for what she neglected to do
Getting disrespected, always on the debt list
Phone barking threats, it's stressing her mind
But guys always told her she was fine on some pimp shit
Acting funny, offering her money
No, she wasn′t no dummy so she turned it down at first
But then the baby cried, dry eyes and lips were thirst
Then things got worse, her first got cancer
With no health insurance, she couldn't manage the bills
So she started dancing, no long term plans but
At least the baby′s doing fine now, cost her 55 thou
Seems foul but she made it
Heaven is only a thought away
Living in this place we dwell, born into life
Try to live it well, help me see the light
Cause I really know that
Heaven is only a thought away
She was spotted in the scene, sparked from the energy
Outshined the rest, she was blessed and projected
The agent signed her fast and life became so hectic
Moved to Hollywood on some left shit
Played the game, worked hard, networked
Met some people, cast in the biggest movies
See her face up on the screen, she was
Loved supreme and couldn't believe it
Respected her name, she reflected their love through her reality
A strong woman battling the system, a statistic that made millions
Had the money to follow her dreams
Built an orphanage in Africa, an artist′s home in Queens
Where she raised young ones that need love
Give music to see love on the coast of two seas
Who can judge her past? Who will judge her future?
Never knew such beauty could arise from Heaven's pain
Her legacy will never die, and you'll remember her name
Heaven is only a thought away
Living in this place we dwell, born into life
Try to live it well, help me see the light
Cause I really know that
Heaven is only a thought away
Heaven is only...
Heaven is only...
