Alexander - Heaven lyrics

(Verse 1: AleXander) Let's flashback all the way straight to the fifth grade Talking about this kid, who slowly became sick Anthony was his name, the name to me isn't the same We didn't really get along, but then I heard what happened to his brain The whole cla** was upset. telling us of his d**h The kids were just crying, one couldn't hold his breath I didn't know what to feel, that night, couldn't finish my meal The next day lashawn came to me. the look on his face was told He looked shocked as he uttered, “…his skin was cold.” (Chorus) I didn't say goodbye to them But now there in heaven (Verse 2: AleXander) d**h is something that's unpleasant, but you gotta hear it anyway First d**h in the family was my grandma, unexpectedly on one day Everybody was freaking out and I stood silent without a shout As my mom parked in a hurry, then she took off, everything blurry I saw down them running to the nursing home Everybody standing and running alone My sister crying in the back seat, I felt my emotions were in defeat Then the ambulance came, took her body. then came the rain (Chorus) I didn't say goodbye to them But now there in heaven (Verse 3: AleXander) With a yip and a yap, gizmo was happy just like that When I was little, didn't know that gizmo Would be replaced with nibble But as the years went by, we had to say bye It was the time of his life where he had to die He had a infection growing on his back He started bleeding everyday everywhere, cleaning up the crap We treated him some medicine, but nothing was not working for him So he whined and cried in pain, nobody couldn't look at him the same So my grandma signed an appointment to just put him to sleep I didn't know what to think, looking into his eyes as he barely blinked But he cried right there, and i realized it was his time I stood up, walked away, didn't say a word, too much on my mind Two weeks later, eating pork chops, watching “Fantastic Mr. Fox” My father came in, telling me he needed to talk to me desperately So he explained that while I was in the room My grandfather took gizmo away I gasped and looked down as he said “gizmo, pa**ed away today.” (Interlude) I receive jesus to take control of my life I receive jesus to take control of my life And that I might live for him, from this day forward And that I might live for him, from this day forward Amen
