Blu - The World Is... (Below the Heavens) lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm tryna get to this place that my grandpa told me bout as a child Told me only few can make it and the faithless ain't allowed Be a Star out your Gang and aim above the clouds And if you miss, you'll at least be amongst your own crowd I smiled cause now I see what he meant I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent Gettin closer to Jehovah on their old knees bent Praying our mindframes switch and these times change quick But I hate to say it brother The youth is too stubborn, to stuck on them selves to ever think about others They must uncover the scales on their eyes called lies Leading the deaf, dumb, and blind to a place my mom told me bout Where their sins get cleansed, cause they bathe in flames And the only route out is to shout out His name I was trained to be a soldier for God But as soon as I used my own thoughts I kinda got lost in this smog called reality Where hell is a fallacy And Heaven is a fantasy created by man, so don't believe in it You came in here with nothing then your leaving with Nothing so retreat from this world of deceitfulness But my people it's time to rise Realize there's a heaven whether you think it's inside or in the sky Reach for it before it's gone eternally And you stuck here below the heavens for eternity [Hook x5] Whose world is this? The...woooo-ooorld [Verse 2] Yo, somebody once told me that I'm already in hell Freedom's a state of mind it's just a heart of me's in hell I freed my slaved mind so a part of me's in hell So even when it's hard to breathe a part of me inhales So pardon me... You gotta try hard to be yourself... Cause you can't go to heaven being anybody else I was raised by a reverend yet the lessons didn't help Had to get em for myself I was told hell is hot but had to feel it for myself So I left home As a young child smiling as I stepped on Facing a world bu*t-naked without my weapon I lost my smile and exchange put a vest on Now that my premature stress is gone I got problems to face as a man I was told either you stand or you fall Long as you know that when you walk you holding hands with a God That alone can turn the dark To a walk in the park I only talk from my heart So open yours when you're listening Every man has his own heaven The difference is the way that he envisions it, so If you make your heaven pictureless By the time you die you'll be drifting in an imageless field So fill your heaven full of blessed thoughts That's real You could stress it or just let it walk I got a question, if a man can make his own heaven Then can he make his path to get to it too? I only spit fluid truth And I spit it for the listeners so I'm spittin to you You say it's hell I say it's bullsh** we're getting through Just think about it every man has his own heaven But sh**, you gotta go through hell to be a man first And understand first hell is what you choose to call the present That's why you're going through it, I just choose to call it stressin To tell you fools the truth I don't feel that's what I'm destined So you can call it hell but brah... I can say I'm below the heavens *the Woooo-oooooooorld* (x10) Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea (Miguel Jontel's vocals fade to next track "You are now above the clouds")
