Heaven Lyrics
Ice Cube
Verse one:
Listen to the preacherman
But are you talkin to me
I cant hear you with a mouth full of pigs feet
If I should need the swine flesh
Your body is a mess, but youre blessed
With a father, son, spirit and the holy ghost
But my whole neigborhood is comatose
Lookin for survival
The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
400 years gettin our ass kicked
By so-called christians and catholics
But I watch em burn in a fire
See Im a g, thats why I aint in your choir
Cause I see, cause I know
The church aint nothin but a fashion show
Get the devil to a 187
And they wont call me a nigga when I get to heaven
Verse two:
Youre waitin for the devil to come from the ground
Clown, take a look around
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin
A beast in sheeps clothing
But Im rollin with that knowledge of self
Cause heaven aint just wealth
So mister preacher, if I couldnt pay my tithe
Do I have to wait outside?
White man, please take another look
Cause we couldnt be readin out of the same book
Cause youse a crook and Im a brother
King james had sex with his mother
Is that your edition? is that your religion?
Black man, you gotta make a desicion
Cause God is comin on day number seven
And he wont call me a nigga when I get to heaven
Verse three:
The same white man that threw me in the slammer
He bombed the church in alabama
So if I cock the hammer, God wont mind
If I have to kill the human swine
Cause God is a killer from the start
Why you think noah had to build his ark
And God is a man from his feet to his hair
Thats why you say amen after each and every prayer
I just stare at the church man
Spendin more money on the church band
But elijahs got a plan
Got the white man screamin: damn that farrakhan!
Cause one day these babies are uprise
Much more than bowties and bean pies
Kickin knowledge at 7-11
And they wont call me a nigga when I get to heaven
