Lyrics Headphones - Lecrae

And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, yeah, ay
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song, yeah

We went from nothin' to hunnids to millis, man, who would've thunk it?
We went from runnin' and duckin' to runnin' a Fortune 500
All of my people who held me down, now we liftin' them up
Ain't no more stressin' or strugglin' or dreadin' the first of the month
Ain't no keys in the trunk, ain't no sleepin' in bunks
Granny said, "Count your blessings," but if I could count them, it'd take me some months
Wish you could see me now, livin' clean, got 'em callin' me Reverend
Wish you could hear me now, hope you got you some headphones in Heaven

Headphones in Heaven, I wish I could tell them
I hope they can hear me, it's so much I'm feelin'
Walked through that alley and cried with my cousin that died
Left me broken, I still pray for healin'
I know my destination, know they patiently waiting
You can show me the ropes when I make it, until then keep playin' my station

Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, ay, yeah
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song

In another dimension ('nother dimension)
I know my auntie is grabbin' my mama, and man, they just huggin' and kissin' (huggin')
And she's sayin', "Look at him, Niecy, look, Denise, he went and did it
See, Niecy, he was like you, he was a artist, he get depressed and
Yeah, he was like you, subject to trouble and few indiscretions
Yeah, he had to war with some demons, but beat him, now gon' tell Miss Bettie
I'ma run and tell Mary (run and tell Mary)
Miss Bettie gon' tell Willie Burke
Michael made millions and traveled the Earth"

I could see them, cheer them, Tuck and Bim sittin' near them, like, "Look at that boy go to work"
I'm talkin' about my Uncle Jeffrey (my Uncle Jeffrey)
My Uncle Carlton, my Uncle Henry, my Uncle Ant-Man, my Uncle Vincent (Ant-Man)
I be reminiscin', sippin' on whiskey
Fly as a Frisbee, from family of Christians, but I'm livin' risky
Street dreamin', but demons won't get me
The Lord had to fix me and God as my witness

Man, I be wishin' that family could listen and Heaven had headphones
I tell them, baby
All of them prayers you pray for me, all of them prayers, they paid off, like, baby
All of that grindin' through time and that pressure made diamonds, and now I'm like, baby
I pray that you hear me, your prodigal son that came home
Baby, baby, baby

Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, ay, yeah (okay)
And my momma got headphones in Heaven (yeah)
I hope she hear this song

Hey, Cap
You and Clay take care of each other up there, man
Pops, you and Precious, man, y'all hear me, right?
Me and my guardian angels been arguin' lately
'Cause they say I won't go with God tryna take me
Now Satan is on me, it's taking its toll
Carried the weight, I know God in control
Bless me with all of the diamonds and gold
Stack so much dough 'til it's harder to fold
From millions, to thousands, to hundreds

Blessings from then until now in abundance
Commas on commas, made me a winner
Still I'm a sinner who runnin' from somethin'
I made him a promise, no matter the sin, the devil never will win
I promise, if only you knew, in a sold-out arena on stage still I'm feelin' so lonely
Questionin', guessin', and missin' my homies
Disguisin' my tears, sayin' my prayers
Laughin' out loud, talkin' to air
Sayin' my peace when ain't nobody there

Yeah, so many people give glory to me
When I know where the glory should be
You see, 'cause I know how the story began
So I know how my story could be
It's a cold game if I told names of the people who died, who done poured into me
If I tried to told you, song would've been over, man, literally, we'd have run out of beat
