Heaven-Arrested Development

I've been lost in my own ways and I'm getting weary(How far is heaven) And I know that I need to change my ways of living (How far is heaven) From church to Liquor store we search for healing Big crowded world filled with lonely humans I'm a M.C. battling with melody envy Cuz melodies the only thing that seems to sooth me So we rock organs adjust the B-3's Have the folks clap to the rap taking it Back to the color - purple - church Where ladies shouting' joy in the midst of hurt! Revolutionaries have a curled fist at first Then years pass and it turns to a clasp They ask in the midst of all God show me ways to resist the fall! Yes yes yawl Pressure pressure the whole under Can't stop the crime can't stop the killing Watch dem life dem ah keep going under Sombody lend ah hand we hafta save dem Roots and culture We have to teach dem Cause it ah the root of dem life Bigger bigger blessings they hope they receive them Pray for them every night I gotta change my ways I need you every day Don't wanna make no excuses My life is so confusing Way down deep inside I wanna tell ya what's on my mind so sick of tryin I'm dyin My heart hurts so I can't keep from cryin
