Lyrics

[Intro: Common] Phone rang Screen said "caller ID blocked" But, for some reason, I decided to answer it On the other end, was a French accent He told me we needed to rap quick 'Cause he had did some bad shit... And would be gone for years Been spending these last two days with his momma and his kid When he spoke – I wasn't trying to hear it 'Cause I knew he was a real good person And this didn't seem like it was in his spirit He couldn't believe, as much as I couldn't, what he had done He said, now it's time for him to turn himself in For no longer could he run – from life, from God I started thinking, "why is doing right so hard?" I thought back to when we was in London Discussing the New Testament, and how our lives related to it And how we could make the best of it My voice became desperate So I asked him, "why you gotta go?" He said, "You know. Turn to Matthew 24." He said, "No one knows the hour, nor do they know the day But the kingdom is near; don't let anything lead you astray As long as God is with me, everything will be okay." So right about then, we decided to pray [Refrain: Omar Lye-Fook] Just lying back, making the smoke disperse away Deep into clouds (Deep into clouds) It's making things appear to me, so clearly Deep in the clouds (Deep in to clouds) Just lying back, making the smoke disperse away Deep in the clouds (Deep in to clouds) It's making things appear to me so clearly Deep into clouds (Yeah) [Verse 1: Cee-Lo Green] Your time is a terrible thing to waste! For there's not one Earthly possession That you can bring to space (It don't matter! It don't matter) It's a challenge But the chance of seeing it Is quite a dream to chase (Yes it is! Yes it is) I hope, I remind God of Him When he sees my face (And he will see it) He gon' see it! [Verse 2: Bilal] Higher (Keeps on) This feeling just keeps on lifting me higher (Ever) And it's ever flowing, it's ever flowing, it's ever flowing... (Keeps on) When everything puts a smile on my face (Ever flowing, ever flowing...) And I recognize the struggle But I keeps on going I keep on going (He keeps on going) I keep on going on (He keeps on going, he keeps on) (He keeps on going) (He keeps on going, he keeps on going) [Verse 3: Jill Scott] Almighty love, watching over me A smile, brilliant All over, constantly Warm, comforting (comforting) Perfect, like, no-thing, (no-thing) No haze, no confusion, no strain Simply... peace Simply, simply, simply, simply [Verse 4: Mary J. Blige] No fear! Heaven is to me No fear of destruction, oh oh oh oh Understanding who He is (Who is he?) His name is Christ, yeah (Oh oh oh oh) Heaven... Heaven is to me – Wisdom, understanding, knowledge Oh, understanding, ah, yeah [Verse 5: Erykah Badu] Streets of gold and pearly gates Halos, wings, all dressed in white High... (High...) High... (High...) Angels sing and samples clear No one's rich, no one's poor How... (How...?) How...? (How...?) People dream, and live rent-free Making love while they're in love How... (How...?) How...? (How...?) Wonderful dream Wake me when you're home Hot, hot, ha... (Ha...) O' Heaven... [Outro: Lonnie "Pops" Lynn] Heaven? Heaven is being Pops Heaven is spending a day with the grandchildren Listening to they voices, in laughter and play And then, at the end of the day We hug, we kiss, and slowly, they walk away And then, suddenly, they turn, and rush back to me And hug me around the knees Yeah That's Heaven to me
