[00:24.16]If heaven was a mile away
[00:25.29]
[00:26.42]Would I pack up my bags
[00:28.10]And leave this world behind
[00:29.35]
[00:30.16]If heaven was a mile away
[00:31.22]
[00:33.02]Or save it all for you
[00:35.32]
[00:36.07]If heaven was a mile away
[00:37.07]
[00:38.00]Would I  fill the tank up with gas
[00:40.75]And be out the front door in a flash
[00:42.62]
[00:44.37]Before reconsidering  this hell with you
[00:49.42]It ain't you it's the things you do
[00:52.24]It's tearing my heart in two
[00:54.86]
[00:56.47]I would of fell with you  to hell with you
[01:00.80]If heaven was a mile away
[01:01.67]And you could ride by the gates
[01:03.18]Would you try to run inside
[01:04.29]When it opens would you try to die today
[01:06.17]Would you pray louder
[01:07.23]Finally believing His power
[01:08.54]
[01:09.10]Even if you couldn't see
[01:10.41]But you could feel  would you still doubt him
[01:12.47]How would you start acting
[01:13.79]Would you try to put the ki's down
[01:15.47]Thinking every drug sell
[01:16.40]That you make in the streets He can see now
[01:18.34]Would a fiend even want to get high
[01:19.84]Would he stop smoking
[01:20.83]If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in
[01:24.27]To get away and escape from the craziness
[01:26.95]And I bet you there's a heaven for an atheist
[01:29.32]It's hard taking this racist planet
[01:30.76]Where they take another brother in a handcuff
[01:32.63]Even if he innocent nigga get on the car
[01:34.76]Put your motherfucking hands up
[01:36.44]Thinking I'm a lose it  my mom's in chemo
[01:39.18]Three times a week  yo keep trying but people
[01:42.12]Is hard and God your young soldier's not so bold
[01:44.61]But needs you  this world's my home but world I would leave
[01:48.05]If heaven was a mile away
[01:49.17]
[01:50.23]Would I pack up my bags
[01:51.78]And leave this world behind
[01:53.91]If heaven was a mile away
[01:55.30]
[01:56.97]Or save it all for you
[01:59.09]
[01:59.98]If heaven was a mile away
[02:01.04]
[02:02.03]Would I  fill the tank up with gas
[02:04.22]And be out the front door in a flash
[02:06.90]
[02:08.34]Before reconsidering  this hell with you
[02:13.45]It ain't you it's the things you do
[02:15.83]
[02:16.58]It's tearing my heart in two
[02:19.56]
[02:20.57]I would of fell with you  to hell with you
[02:24.88]Nigga what you think
[02:25.56]I'ma stop building  I'ma stop feeling
[02:26.74]Like I'm Amistad's great  great grandchildren
[02:28.56]How I'm not gonna want to make millions
[02:30.80]Since the quarter water days
[02:31.67]In the hallways making fake coke
[02:33.06]Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper
[02:34.23]In my mouth all day
[02:36.30]But then my style has quite a while
[02:37.92]That same type as Ill and Al Skratch
[02:39.54]Game time to them cats never looked back
[02:41.10]Cristal blowing dub sacks
[02:42.34]
[02:43.09]That's when it all just hit me
[02:44.77]You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less
[02:47.01]My nigga spend it all with me
[02:48.38]I'd give it all away quickly
[02:49.39]
[02:49.91]Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks
[02:51.46]Free of any autographs so not to be recognized
[02:53.21]Forgive me  it's becoming unbearable  making hits is easy
[02:57.28]Put a famous bitch on the hook
[02:58.53]There you go with a platinum CD
[03:00.38]I know you heard the noise
[03:01.45]Preachers touching on altar boys
[03:02.64]Sodomizing not realizing
[03:04.45]God is watching before the Lord
[03:06.32]How can they do the devil's work
[03:07.63]A man giving another man head in church
[03:09.25]Hell  it hurts just to fathom the thought
[03:10.75]Wishing that I fled the earth
[03:12.00]If heaven was a mile away
[03:13.25]
[03:14.25]Would I pack up my bags
[03:15.71]And leave this world behind
[03:17.96]If heaven was a mile away
[03:19.02]
[03:21.02]Or save it all for you
[03:23.28]
[03:24.15]If heaven was a mile away
[03:25.22]
[03:26.02]Would I  fill the tank up with gas
