"The World Is (Below The Heavens)"
Written by Blu & Exile
Whose world is this
The world is yours
The world is yours
Whose world is this
Hey, bet you're feeling like
The world is yours, right
Whose world is this
Whose world is this

Yo, I'm trying to get to this place 
That my grandpa told me about as a child
He 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

Too 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 your sins get cleansed

'Cause they're bathed 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 

And you're leaving with nothing 
So retreat from this world of deceitfulness

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

Yo, somebody once told me 

That I'm already in hell
Freedom's a state of mind 

It's just the 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 get 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 butt-naked 

Without my weapon
I lost my smile i
n exchange 
I put a vest on
Now that my premature stress is gone
I got problems to face as a man

I was told you either 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 build 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 bullshit we're getting through
Just think about it 


Every man has his own heaven
But shit, 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 where I'm destined
So you can call it hell but, brah,
I just say I'm below the heavens
