Songtexte Geto Heaven Remix T.S.O.I. - New LP Edit - Macy Gray , Common

God bless
Geto heaven, need a little geto heaven
Yeah, key on (heaven) yeah (geto heaven)
Searchin' for a love throughtout the geto
Young girls thick, righteousness narrow
I got my third eye on the sparrow
Want my people straight
And the rhyme's sweet apparel
The mother of my child
We not together
Baby, it's your back, I got forever
The weather talks to us
Him rock and the holy spirit walks through us
The blinded eyes of the youth search for a guy
A thug is a lost man in disguise to rise
And fall of a nation
Even when the buildings tumble I still stand tall
I walk through the valley with a life preserver
Fill in the times that I might just murder
Yo that ain't what I was sent for
I want folks to say his life had meant more
Than any car, any rock or any broad
He found geto heaven in himself and God
(He found geto heaven in himself and God)
He found geto heaven in himself and God

Geto heaven
(Need a little love and geto heaven)
Need a little geto heaven
Geto heaven
(Need a little love and geto heaven)
Time was get some geto heaven, geto

Love your happiness don't begin with a man
Strong woman, why should you depend on a man (oh)
I understand you want a man that's resourceful
If he pay your bills he feel like he bought you
Talking to a friend about what love is
Her man didn't love her 'cos he didn't love his
Hugged her from afar said what I felt
You'll never find a man until you find yourself
Time helps mistakes you can learn from
One man effed up you shouldn't turn from
One certain type of guy gotta reach a certain point too
At that destination a king will anoint you
Going through the storm anybody stay warm
That relationship died for you to be born you're worth more
Than anything you can conquer the storm for you to grow
He had to go so what you stoppin' for
Not even I could ignore being alone is hard
Find heaven in yourself and in God
Find heaven in yourself and in God, girl
(Find heaven in yourself and God)

This music is so much bigger than me
As far as happy it's like a trigger to me
Dealin' with crack rappers, groupie broads, record execs
At times it do be hard to choose words
To be heard across waters doing something you like to
Support daughters
Keeping your guys from collecting court orders
Conveying messages the ancestors brought us
Thought of things to say to become the ending for the day
Somehow that didn't seem the way for me to make it
Music is a gift that is sacred
I opened it, used it hopin' you could grow to it
Whether you a servant or a surgeon you gonna go through it
Can't imagine going through it without soul music
It's like Donnie Hath helped me see Lonnie's path
On my behalf let's take whole steps towards home time
Show depth as we make people nod
Find heaven in this music and God yeah
(Find heaven in this music and God) Y'all
Find heaven in this music and God, geto heaven
(Check it out, it's geto heaven, baby)

Repeat chorus twice.
