The World Is (Below the Heavens)

[Intro: Blu]

Uh, yeah, uh

Heheheh, sing it, sing it

Uh, c'mon, love the whole world

Hug the whole world, trust the whole world

Yo, fuck the whole world, just trust the world

Ayo, hug the whole world, I'ma fuck this whole world

[Hook: Blu]

Whose world is this? (The world)

The world is yours, the world is yours, yeah

Whose world is this? (The world)

Bet you, bet you, bet you feelin' like the world is yours, right?

Whose world is this? (The world)

Feels like the world is yours, right? The world is, the world is

Whose world is this? (The world)

[Verse 1: Blu]

Yo, I'm tryna get to this place that my grandpa told me 'bout as a child (Uh-huh)

Told me only few can make it and the faithless ain't allowed (Yeah)

Be a Star out your Gang, and aim above the clouds (Uh)

And if you miss, you'll at least be amongst your own crowd

I smiled cause now I see what he meant (Yeah)

I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent (Uh-huh)

Gettin' closer to Jehovah on their old knees bent

Praying our mind frames switch and these times change quick (Uh-huh)

But I hate to say it brother (What?) the youth is too stubborn

Too stuck on themselves to ever think about others (Real)

They must uncover the scales on their eyes called lies

Leading the deaf, dumb, and blind to a place my mom told me about (Hell)

Where their sins get cleansed (Uh-huh) cause they bathe in flames

And the only route out, is to shout out His name

I was trained to be a soldier for God (Uh-huh)

But as soon as I used my own thoughts

I kinda got lost in this smog called reality (Yeah) where hell is a fallacy (Uh)

And Heaven is a fantasy created by man so don't believe in it (Nah)

You came in here with nothing then you're leaving with (What?)

Nothing so retreat from this world of deceitfulness

But my people, it's time to rise

Realize there's a heaven whether you think it's inside or in the sky

Reach for it (Yeah) before it's gone eternally (Gone)

And you stuck here below the heavens for eternity (Uh)

[Hook: Blu]

Whose world is this? (The world)

Whose world is this? (The world)

Whose world is this? (The world)

Whose world is this? (The world)

[Verse 2: Blu]

Yo, somebody once told me that I'm already in hell

Freedom's a state of mind, it's just a heart of me's in hell

I freed my slaved mind so a part of me's in hell

So even when it's hard to breathe, a part of me inhales

So pardon me, you gotta try hard to be yourself

Cause you can't go to heaven being anybody else

I was raised by a reverend yet the lessons didn't help (Uh-huh)

Had to get 'em for myself (Yeah)

I was told hell is hot but had to feel it for myself

So I left home (Uh)

As a young child smiling as I stepped on (Uh)

Facing a world butt-naked without my weapon (Yeah)

I lost my smile and in exchange, I put a vest on (Uh)

Now that my premature stress is gone

I got problems to face as a man (Yeah)

I was told either you stand or you fall

Long as you know that when you walk, you holding hands with a God (For real)

That alone can turn the dark to a walk in the park

I only talk from my heart

So open yours when you're listening

Every man has his own heaven

The difference is the way that he envisions it so (Yeah)

If you make your heaven picture-less (What?)

By the time you die you'll be drifting in an imageless field

So fill your heaven full of blessed thoughts

That's real, you could stress it or just let it walk (Yeah)

I got a question, if a man can make his own heaven (Uh-huh)

Then can he make his path to get to it too? (I don't know)

I only spit fluid truth (Okay)

And I spit it for the listeners so I'm spittin' to you

You say it's hell, I say it's bullshit we getting through (Yeah)

Just think about it (Uh) every man has his own heaven (Right)

But shit, you gotta go through hell to be a man first

And understand first hell is what you choose to call the present (Yeah)

That's why you're going through it, I just choose to call it stressin' (For real)

To tell you fools the truth, I don't feel that's what I'm destined (At all)

So you can call it hell but brah, I can say I'm below the heavens

[Outro: Miguel]

The world, the world

The world, the world

The world, the world

The world, the world

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
