Heaven is a Place on Earth

Said I'm climbing up the stairway to Heaven Wonder what I might see from up there Maybe mountains, maybe valleys of despair Guess it's true what they say in the end We regret the chances we don't take Maybe it's best to make some mistakes The greatest wins are not made from playing shit safe But I do now, 'cause I got shit to lose now Dreams of us painting the crib blue now You think I'll give it up just for a Patek or a bottle of Ace of Spades Or one of these niggas tryna buy me a Wraith I do that on my own, think again Think of all the places I'll see 'cause of this pen, oh Blood, sweat and tears put in this throne I built by hand Can't share it with just anybody 'Cause everybody ain't your friend So in case this the last letter that I wrote Make sure it's to my baby saying, "One day, I'll be home" (home) To kiss you on the forehead and tell you that I'm sorry (sorry) And at least your momma wasn't no vibe in someone's lobby (lobby) It's been a year now and it's always gon' be hard But at least I held you down and played my part Stuck with you under blue skies, stuck with you in the dark Before we had to keep sticks and illegal tint on all these cars (cars) But baby (baby), I never promised you it'll always be the same (baby) I only promised you my love would never change (baby) Wish you told me that it would have been this dangerous (yeah)
