Heven Tonite Lyrics - The Coup

[Chorus] 

Preacher man wanna save my soul 

Don't nobody wanna save my life 

People we done lost control 

Let's make heaven tonite 

Preacher man wanna save my soul 

Don't nobody wanna save my life 

People we done lost control 

Let's make heaven tonite 

Now as I sleep may the oxygen inflate my lungs 

May my arteries and heart oscillate as one 

If police come may I awake escape and run 

In the morning may I have the sake to scrape the funds 

And if I take the plunge 

May it be said that I wasn't afraid to shake my tongue 

Show the state was scum 

Makin' sure that the callin' bell of fate was rung 

'cause if they could the would 

And probly tried to 

Rape the sun 

Someone said that this is just my body 

Wait for the Afterpary 

Where ain't no shut-off note 

And every wallet there is knotty 

Feet are on the asphalt 

Dick in the dirt 

This system take vickin' to work 

Listen alert 

Check out the introvert 

In the corner with the rip in her skirt 

Stomach pains so she grippin' her shirt 

Ain't never had dinner 

So she know she ain't gettin' dessert 

Don't try to tell me it's her mission to hurt 

I got faith in the people and they power to fight 

We gon make the struggle blossom 

Like a flower to light 

I know that we could take power tonight 

Make 'em cower from might 

And get emergency clearance from the tower for flight 

I ain't sittin in your pews less you helpin' me resist and refuse 

Show me a list of your views 

If you really love me 

Help me tear this muthafucka up 

Consider this my tithe for the offer cup 

[Chorus] 

I used to think about infinity 

And how my memory is finna be 

Invisibly slim in that vicinity 

And though the stars are magnificent 

Whisky and the midnight sky can make you feel insignificant 

The revolution in this tune and verse 

Is a bid for my love to touch the universe 

Strugglin' over wages and funds 

Let the movement get contagious and run 

Through the end when it's gauges and guns 

And if we win in the ages to come 

We'll have a chapter where the history pages are from 

They won't never know our name or face 

But feel our soul in free food they taste 

Feel our passion when they heat they house 

When they got power on the streets 

And the police don't beat 'em about 

Let's make health care centers on every block 

Let's give everybody homes and a garden plot 

Let's give all the schools books 

Ten kids a class 

And give 'em truth for their pencils and pads 

Retail clerk - "love ballads" where you place this song 

Let's make heaven right here 

Just in case they wrong
