| "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 in 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 *the Woooo-oooooooorld* (x10)200 |  More Information About: Blu & Exile   |
