Luyện nghe bài hát Where Was Heaven

* - a version is on The Swarm Vol. 1

This out to all my cats in the projects
Just livin it, still it
Thru the rough and the bad times,
the crimes, was heaven
Must be somewhere here, though, for
I seen the place
Maybe some you got when you die

An ordinary cat from outer projects, since I was younger
Mom her children, pops dipped a long time ago
In my mind I see flashbacks, I had no fancy
Skinny, ugly, knotty head nigga with a snotty nose
Even though my neglect, he pay the child support
seen him all these years, I hug his ass in court
Always saying I'm comin to get you and I be too
Holiday and birthday was never comin through
at the age 13 I started smokin weed
Hanging out with cats that was older, start to run the
Dropped out of school selling drugs, impressin chicks
Spent most my on gear, my man was buyin whips
New York, Jamaican, Miami niggaz, flooded Virginia
Cause signin work only if buying, prices was high as
Remember when I first got hit, I seen the spit
50 cash in one corner bleeding where pellet hit
My man Shawn, he held on
Slug burn through his lower back side, crack his spine his arm
him twice on the hospital table and when he died I cried my eyes out
I couldn't it (damn damn), but the same things continued to happen
got bust, I'm a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt
Playing in front of my elders
I was running with them cats that be robbing too, I tell 'em
If my name was up in any type trouble, my moms tell me
Just you brothers into some shit go get a job or something
Just a bum on the street, not working hard for nothing
Scratch I made when I was pumpin, I'm here to somethin
Making the crib stay tight, for real I wasn't no dummy
Tell me where you getting money, I wash a car be lying
Saying anything 'sides drugs selling, my sister me on the block
Transact' with fiends, be I'ma tell it
Growing up was hell no doubt, I wonder where was

(women in the background)

Shit, it's yesterday, you know?
It all comes though, but still
But still livin on the block, but still up
You know? Crime affiliated, Syndicate
Whatever you wanna it
You know what I'm Affiliated with the bad shit
All the time just 'cause I'm a of the projects

Now I'm a grown man, still It's like life me the wrong hand
Cat's that was my man be frontin' or either dead
Sound said incarcerated just a new Dad
Remembering them long ten months from slingin bags
Mom put me out the quickness, carry your black ass
I'm still back to the crib, oh so you back? yeah
Ma' I came to holler to see how you doing
changed after all these years
Still hustle for gear, smoke weed, still drink beers
I tell you from my heart, yo, I'm like yeah

(women singing again)

I wonder if heaven was a place in planet
You'd me right there.

was heaven.
