Wu-syndicate – Where Was Heaven lyrics

-* a different version is on The Swarm Vol 1. [Myalansky]

This
goes out to all my cats in the projects Just
livin it still, livin it Thru
the rough times and the bad times The,
crimes where, was heaven Must
be somewhere here though, for, real I
never seen the place Maybe
some place you got when you die An

ordinary cat from outer projects since, I was younger though Mom
raised her children pops, dipped a long time ago In
my mind I see flashbacks I, had no fancy clothes Skinny
ugly, knotty, head n anuscrying with a snotty nose Even
though my father neglect he, pay the child support Hadn't
seen him all these years I, hug his a in** court Always
saying I'm comin to get you and I be waitin too Holiday
and birthday presents was never comin through Remember
at the age 13 I started smokin weed Hanging
out with cats that was older start, to run the street Dropped
out of high school selling drugs impressin, chicks Spent
most my cheddar on gear my, man was buyin whips New
York Jamaican, Miami, ni z***flooded, Virginia quick Cause
signin work only if buying prices, was high as s titRemember
when I first got hit I, seen the iron spit 50
cash bent in one corner bleeding where pellet hit My
man Shawn he, held on strong Slug
burn through his lower back side crack, his spine exit his arm Lost
him twice on the hospital table and when he died I cried my eyes out I
couldn't take it (damn damn) but, the same things continued to happen Ni
z***got bust I'm, a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt Playing
innocent in front of my elders I
was running with them cats that be robbing too I, couldn't tell 'em If
my name was up in any type trouble my, moms would tell me Just
like you brothers into some s titgo get a job or something Just
a little bum on the street not, working hard for nothing Scratch
I made when I was pumpin I'm, here to offer somethin Making
sure the crib stay tight for, real I wasn't no dummy Tell
me where you getting this money I, wash a car be lying Saying
anything 'sides drugs selling my, sister seen me on the block Transact'
with fiends be, saying I'ma tell it Growing
up was hell no doubt I, wonder where was heaven (women

singing in the background) S

titit's, like yesterday you, know It?
all comes back though but, still But
still livin on the block but, still f d****up You
know Crime? affiliated Crime, Syndicate Whatever
you wanna call it You
know what I'm sayin Affiliated? with the bad s titAll
the time just 'cause I'm a victim of the projects Now

I'm a grown man still, It's like life dealt me the wrong hand Cat's
that was my man be frontin' or either found dead Sound
said incarcerated just turned a new Dad Remembering
them long ten months from slingin crack bags Mom
put me out with the quickness carry, your black a I'm**
still coming back to the crib oh, so you back Yeah? Ma'
I just came to holler to see how you doing Nothing's
changed after all these years Still
hustle for some gear smoke, weed still, drink beers I
tell you from my heart yo, 'times, I'm like yeah (women

start singing again) I

wonder if heaven was a place in this planet You'd
find me right there Where.

was heaven
