Keep Heaven Dancing Lyrics
[00:02.26] Yeah
[00:05.36] Ayy, today my mom's birthday
[00:06.25] Man (Lala-la-la)
[00:10.11] I don't know, I think she's fifty—
[00:11.47] I think she's fifty-three
[00:13.73] If I do the math right (Yeah)
[00:17.19] Feeling rather uninspired
[00:19.34] Feeling rather un-admired
[00:21.33] Come on, baby
[00:22.38] Won't you love me?
[00:23.59] Never put a soul above me
[00:25.61] Don't you see, I'm special, darling?
[00:27.72] Tell me why then aren't you calling?
[00:30.02] Could it be you found another?
[00:31.93] You forgotten how I loved ya
[00:34.21] One day, you'll see that you've made
[00:36.29] A Terrible mistake and pray to
[00:38.07] God above for second chances
[00:40.47] My rhythms will keep heaven dancin'
[00:45.35] Keep heaven dancin'
[00:49.62] Keep heaven dancin'
[00:50.78] I'm a chip off my old block
[00:52.42] Where they hold Glocks
[00:53.42] In '92, they smoke rocks
[00:54.75] Now I hope not
[00:55.64] I wouldn't know 'cause we got out of there
[00:57.22] I miss Aiesha, had the caramel features
[00:58.96] And a lot of hair
[00:59.98] Sometimes, I wonder where she at now
[01:01.34] Imagining the way she look
[01:02.57] And how she act now
[01:03.65] Did the hood get her?
[01:04.70] Have a baby by a hood nigga
[01:05.72] Give ya two good guesses where he at now
[01:07.97] But, you never know maybe she overcame
[01:09.77] I mean just think about
[01:10.65] How far that lady Oprah came
[01:12.26] From humble beginnings to hugging a billion
[01:14.21] But that's one in a million
[01:15.37] If ya from where I'm feeling
[01:16.43] Nostalgic about hardest nigga out of the south
[01:18.31] Though I was feeling claustrophobic
[01:19.58] And I had to get out
[01:20.66] 'Cause while I ain't a street nigga
[01:21.82] Ain't pretend to be
[01:22.70] The Ville was killing niggas
[01:23.75] Mo' innocent than me
[01:24.91] Smart niggas went to college in attempts to flee
[01:26.88] Friends stay singing hating penitentiary
[01:28.81] And that's life in a nutshell
[01:30.57] I heard a couple dumb niggas say they love jail
[01:32.59] I feel for 'em 'cause that's real for 'em
[01:34.19] Less hope than a stillborn
[01:35.77] Cole world but can feel warm
[01:37.20] Though, sometimes play a song
[01:38.34] That can bring sunshine
[01:39.71] That's why I don't really give a fuck
[01:41.21] About punchlines
[01:41.98] I just be writing, not to enlighten
[01:43.30] To release
[01:44.25] At night, a little Henny
[01:45.05] And some head can bring me peace
[01:46.35] If only I could get away with murder like police
[01:48.25] It'd be a couple niggas that's deceased
[01:49.98] Now rest in peace
[01:50.63] Feeling rather uninspired
[01:52.72] Feeling rather un-admired
[01:54.83] Come on, baby, won't you love me?
[01:57.08] Never put a soul above me
[01:59.13] Don't you see, I'm special, darling?
[02:01.21] Tell me why then aren't you calling?
[02:03.22] Could it be you found another?
[02:05.34] You forgotten how I loved ya
[02:07.59] One day, you'll see that you've made a
[02:09.68] Terrible mistake and pray to
[02:11.75] God above for second chances
[02:13.80] My rhythms will keep heaven dancin'
[02:18.93] Keep heaven dancin'
[02:23.08] Keep heaven dancin'
[02:24.26] All you niggas rap on the same beats
[02:25.76] Make me want to hit Dame Grease
[02:27.04] And get one of them joints X passed on
[02:28.86] Make some shit that I can hear Flex blast on
[02:30.84] For your whip let your foot press gas on
[02:32.91] 'Cause it seems hits is how the best last long
[02:35.07] So I ask God for my next smash song
[02:36.88] All he sent is my next sad song
[02:38.41] Full of private thoughts
[02:39.38] For a minor cost you could tresspass on
[02:41.75] It's from the heart like a chest pass homes
[02:43.42] My nigga was in prison and he just got home
[02:45.63] He blowin' up my cell, did four years in jail
[02:47.62] And I never sent no mail
[02:48.77] And I guess that's wrong
[02:49.99] But if he really knew me then he'd understand
[02:51.69] A week out and already got a gun in hand
[02:53.60] Yes, it's true what they say
[02:55.13] Only God can judge
[02:56.04] But the catch is, He never does
[02:57.68] He know exactly why my nigga stressed
[02:59.26] Unhappy, high
[03:00.25] Thinking, "How did four years just pass me by?"
[03:02.50] Can't get a job
[03:03.49] But the streets showed me how
[03:04.32] Niggas I was cool with ain't my homies now
[03:06.59] My own daughter act like
[03:07.66] She don't barely know me now
[03:08.73] Baby mama promise me
[03:09.72] That she would hold me down
[03:11.22] The bitch promised that she would hold me down
[03:12.89] It was lonely in a cell
[03:13.98] And it's lonely now, sing
[03:15.55] Feeling rather uninspired (Sing)
[03:17.65] Feeling rather un-admired (Sing)
[03:19.51] Come on, baby
[03:20.65] Won't you love me? (Sing)
[03:21.90] Never put a soul above me (Sing)
[03:23.98] Don't you see, I'm special, darling?
[03:26.06] Tell me why then aren't you calling?
[03:28.19] Could it be you found another?
[03:30.34] You forgotten how I loved ya
[03:32.29] One day, you'll see that
[03:33.53] You've made a
[03:34.95] Terrible mistake and pray to
[03:36.67] God above for second chances
[03:38.72] My rhythms will keep heaven dancin'
[03:43.85] Keep heaven dancin'
[03:48.35] Keep heaven dancin'
[03:49.83]
