Lord, have mercy (try to sleep) Heaven is so close

(But with all this bloodshed and letdowns)

When you born and die and live in the ghetto

(Just won't let me sleep, but it's one thing)

Heaven is so close (that's gotta smile on my face)

When you born and die

(Now I know heaven is so close, so close)

And live in the ghetto (just listen to me)



[Mr. Serv-On]

If murder is hereditary, then dyin young is my destiny

Fuck doin time for felonies, the hell for what ya tellin me

It's what I'm seein, believin it's a better side

All I'm seein is my genocide, suicidal thoughts

Brought my mamma broken hearts

I threw a jack at niggaz, and drinkin liquor

To help me see God quicker

All it did was have me mad to hear my daughter call me Mr.

Her mamma shoulda taught her better

Now I'm writin Dear God letters

Askin how my cousin went from makin hella Gs through the years

To doin $30 hits and alcoholic tears

Fears from these streets scared me

I decided a long time ago, to let the Lord guide me

Through this optimism, kids dyin, I don't know

I guess I miss em, like lil James Darby

And Lil Mann out the projects

Never got to see they happy years, all they felt

Was the blast from a lost tear, and last year

The nation felt shame, but only they mothers felt the pain

To hear the Lord call they name

This game has got me feelin like I'm losin all my sanity

At times I think the world is blamin me

But I ain't lettin em get me down

I'm keepin my head up cause I know I got a dosage

Heaven is so close



Chorus (2X): Heaven is so close

(Now I lay me down to sleep)

When you born and die and live in the ghetto

(I pray the Lord my soul to keep)

Heaven is so
