Where Was Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Wu-syndicate

* - a different version is on The Swarm Vol. 1 

 

[Myalansky] 

This goes out to all my cats in the projects 

Just livin it, still livin it 

Thru the rough times and the bad times, 

the crimes, where was heaven 

Must be somewhere here, though, for real 

I never seen the place 

Maybe some place you got when you die 

 

An ordinary cat from outer projects, since I was younger though 

Mom raised her children, pops dipped a long time ago 

In my mind I see flashbacks, I had no fancy clothes 

Skinny, ugly, knotty head nigga crying with a snotty nose 

Even though my father neglect, he pay the child support 

Hadn't seen him all these years, I hug his ass in court 

Always saying I'm comin to get you and I be waitin too 

Holiday and birthday presents was never comin through 

Remember at the age 13 I started smokin weed 

Hanging out with cats that was older, start to run the street 

Dropped out of high school selling drugs, impressin chicks 

Spent most my cheddar on gear, my man was buyin whips 

New York, Jamaican, Miami niggaz, flooded Virginia quick 

Cause signin work only if buying, prices was high as shit 

Remember when I first got hit, I seen the iron spit 

50 cash bent in one corner bleeding where pellet hit 

My man Shawn, he held on strong 

Slug burn through his lower back side, crack his spine exit his arm 

Lost him twice on the hospital table and when he died I cried my eyes out 

I couldn't take it (damn damn), but the same things continued to happen 

Niggaz got bust, I'm a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt 

Playing innocent in front of my elders 

I was running with them cats that be robbing too, I couldn't tell 'em 

If my name was up in any type trouble, my moms would tell me 

Just like you brothers into some shit go get a job or something 

Just a little bum on the street, not working hard for nothing 

Scratch I made when I was pumpin, I'm here to offer somethin 

Making sure the crib stay tight, for real I wasn't no dummy 

Tell me where you getting this money, I wash a car be lying 

Saying anything 'sides drugs selling, my sister seen me on the block 

Transact' with fiends, be saying I'ma tell it 

Growing up was hell no doubt, I wonder where was heaven 

 

(women singing in the background) 

 

Shit, it's like yesterday, you know? 

It all comes back though, but still 

But still livin on the block, but still fucked up 

You know? Crime affiliated, Crime Syndicate 

Whatever you wanna call it 

You know what I'm sayin? Affiliated with the bad shit 

All the time just 'cause I'm a victim of the projects 

 

Now I'm a grown man, still It's like life dealt me the wrong hand 

Cat's that was my man be frontin' or either found dead 

Sound said incarcerated just turned a new Dad 

Remembering them long ten months from slingin crack bags 

Mom put me out with the quickness, carry your black ass 

I'm still coming back to the crib, oh so you back? yeah 

Ma' I just came to holler to see how you doing 

Nothing's changed after all these years 

Still hustle for some gear, smoke weed, still drink beers 

I tell you from my heart, yo, 'times I'm like yeah 

 

(women start singing again) 

 

I wonder if heaven was a place in this planet 

You'd find me right there. 

 

Where was heaven.
