If heaven was a mile away Would I pack up my bags And leave this world behind? If heaven was a mile away Or save it all for you?
If heaven was a mile away Would I, fill the tank up with gas And be out the front door in a flash Before reconsidering, this hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do It's tearing my heart in two I would of fell with you, to hell with you
If heaven was a mile away And you could ride by the gates Would you try to run inside When it opens would you try to die today?
Would you pray louder Finally believing His power? Even if you couldn't see But you could feel, would you still doubt him? How would you start acting?
Would you try to put the ki's down? Thinking every drug sell That you make in the streets He can see now Would a fiend even want to get high Would he stop smoking? If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in
To get away and escape from the craziness And I bet you there's a heaven for an atheist It's hard taking this racist planet Where they take another brother in a handcuff Even if he innocent nigga get on the car Put your motherfucking hands up
Thinking I'm a lose it, my mom's in chemo Three times a week, yo keep trying but people Is hard and God your young soldier's not so bold But needs you, this world's my home but world I would leave
If heaven was a mile away Would I pack up my bags And leave this world behind? If heaven was a mile away Or save it all for you?
If heaven was a mile away Would I, fill the tank up with gas And be out the front door in a flash Before reconsidering, this hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do It's tearing my heart in two I would of fell with you, to hell with you
Nigga what you think I'ma stop building, I'ma stop feeling Like I'm Amistad's great, great grandchildren How I'm not gonna want to make millions
Since the quarter water days [ Nas Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] In the hallways making fake coke Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper In my mouth all day
But then my style has quite a while That same type as Ill and Al Skratch Game time to them cats never looked back Cristal blowing dub sacks
That's when it all just hit me You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less My nigga spend it all with me I'd give it all away quickly
Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks Free of any autographs so not to be recognized Forgive me, it's becoming unbearable, making hits is easy Put a famous bitch on the hook There you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise Preachers touching on altar boys Sodomizing not realizing God is watching before the Lord
How can they do the devil's work? A man giving another man head in church Hell, it hurts just to fathom the thought Wishing that I fled the earth
If heaven was a mile away Would I pack up my bags And leave this world behind? If heaven was a mile away Or save it all for you?
If heaven was a mile away Would I, fill the tank up with gas And be out the front door in a flash Before reconsidering, this hell with you
It ain't you it's the things you do It's tearing my heart in two I would of fell with you, to hell with you
You trapped in your own hell Every day I wakeup I'm blessed Every day you wakeup And breathe another breath you blessed
It's all the niggaz runnin' around, talk about I'm fucked up I gotta get on, I gotta, I'm in a grind I'm fucked up, yeah we're all in the grind But look at the beautiful shit around you, it's a beautiful life
All my niggaz locked up, keep yo heads up Heaven's just a mile away, I'm talkin' heaven on e
