Below the Heavens- Blu & Exile <3

I'm tryna get to this place that my grandpa told me bout as a child
Told me only a few could make it and the fakest aint allowed
Be a star out your game and aim above the clouds
and if you miss, youll 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 there sins and repent
Gettin closer to Jehovah on their own knees bent
Praying our mindframes switch and these times change quick
But I hate to say it brother
Youre just too stubborn, to stuck on them selves to ever think about others
They must uncover the scales on their eyes called lies
Leading to deaf them and blind like 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
Came in here with nothing then your leaving with
nothing so retreat from this
world of deceit
but for my people it's time to rise
realize theres a heaven whether you think it's inside or in the sky
we gotta reach for it before it's gone eternally
and you stuck here below the heavens for eternity

*CHORUS* X5
Whos 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 the 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 cant go to heaven being anybody else
I was raised by a reverand yet the lessons didnt help
had to get em for myself
I was told hell is hot I had to fell it for myself
so I left home
as a young child smiling as I stepped on
facin a world butt naked without my wea-pon
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 yo holding hands as a god
that alone can turn the dark
into a walk in the park
I only talk from my heart
so open yours when your 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 youll be drifting in an imageless field
so fill your heaven full of blessing thoughts
thats 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 listenas so Im spittin to you
you say it's hell I say it's bullshit were getting through
just think about it any man has his own heaven
but you gotta go through hell to be a man first
and understand 1st hell is what you choose to call the present
thats why youre going through what I just choose to call a stressin
to tell you fools the truth
I don't feel it's what I'm destined
you can call it hell but brah...
I can say Im below the heavens

*the Woooo-oooooooorld* (X 10)

Life.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. People seem to forget the simple things in life what make it worth while..

Matthew 6: 33-34
" But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble on its own.. "

CommonSense

The days are vastly approaching, I will finally get to see him preform. I wish ' he ' could be there with me. I love me some Common <3

one man's trash, is another man's treasure..

My Destination..

So I get a HEAD start, to the mind I go. Let's engage in some conversation, let your thoughts speak for itself. This functioning mind fascinates me, though perspective, understanding and patience. I'm learning. I'm still moving. So I LISTEN, and I hear the struggles, the heartache, the past. Saying something can mean a lot, but he gave me his attention. Undivided, listening ears that take in and understand me. Then I see a light. DETOUR, a refection of light has caught my attention. They say that "the eyes are the key to your soul," and when I took a glance, I saw your soul and mine meeting eye to eye. You unlocked the very part of me... Grey's Anatomy? My breathing is altered, you left me breathless. My heart pulsates, harder and faster. You got me physically, emotionally, mentally. Hooked with one look, and for a split second I was lost. I was looking for more direction. I asked and it moved, syllables with the tip of tongue expressing thoughts and emotions that only was felt through you. The motion of moving muscles move, from left to right. A familiar smile tells me I'm going the right way. The way you frown makes me find ways to repair you. Switching the number of muscles moving to see a smile. A smile that not only lets the sun shine brighter, but a smile that just brightens up my day. Since happiness is only grin deep. Let's keep that smile on. I feel so close to what I'm looking for. I search, with the right motives, the right beat. I decided to go left. I pass through veins that rush blood leading up to the most important part of you. The heart in you. From left to right, ventricle to ventricle, both ways lead me back to you. I feel a rush, back out to different directions. I found out where I was going, and I did it with your help. No GPS can lead me to your heart. I still have not reached my destination. I see it from afar, a distance away. Now I'm just at a pit stop for love. A love that can not only see each other, but feel each other, is still waiting till they can cross that bridge, since love bridges the gap between me and you. As you see, there's no barricade, no blocking way for the passage way, no short cut alley way. Time will take its course. And if love is to go, then I guess we'll never know. Yet seasons change and my love still remains. I finally found a place where I want to be. So I'll just let patience and love come naturally.

Because I love you.
