Hesitate

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things, Cory Mo)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

[Verse 1: Bun B]

Lately I've been puttin' my life into perspective

Reflective of my past, bеin' retrospective

Lookin' at thе good and the bad and my early days

Wonderin' if I still got a path to the pearly gates

Life wasn't always the way that it is today

It used to take me damn near losin' my life just to pray

But nowadays, I'm more conscious of my ways

And all it take is me wakin' up to give Him praise

Came a long way from who I was and what I did once

All I used to care about was sippin' drink and big blunts

But now I got a family and they countin' on me

To give 'em what they need, I'd climb the highest mountain, homie

So every day I'm workin' on the enemy

To find the best way that I could balance out my energy

Nobody's perfect, no matter what it look like on the surface

Just hopin' I get closer to my purpose, say amen

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & Talib Kweli]

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things, yeah)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (Yeah-yeah)

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin' (Turn me up a lil' bit, yeah)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

I'm on a course switchin' over to God, I got the devil waitin'

I'm outlastin' 'em, outcast and I'm elevatin'

Keymaster lookin' for keepers of Heaven's gate

He faster to beat, them others hesitate

Here's the sitch, you know them snitches be sayin' some things

Actin' like a broadway play, Mama, I Want to Sing!

Just because I'm from the 'hood don't mean I gotta bang

Our neighborhood affiliated, the police a gang

They say my name, but say it soft, like under they breath

We mutilated like people livin' under the steps

We stayin' pressed, there'll be none of us left

The food desert got 'em thirsty for blood, hungry for death

They give us scraps from the feast, we actin' like we amazed

Treat Blacks like beasts and lock us right in a cage

Every day I fight for freedom 'cause it's not just a phase

I'm not your slave, you don't get to tell me how to behave, nah

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe & David Banner]

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin' (Yeah, yeah)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

[Verse 3: David Banner]

I'm like Nelly with a Visa, you only show me off at nighttime

But fight time is what it is, ****, 'cause I hit killer kids

What y'all want? Pray wit' 'em and stay wit' 'em

Build back up to slave quarters to stay wit' 'em, yeah

Wasn't slavery in the name of the crops?

They come knockin' at my door, and watch, I'm runnin' 'em off

We were fine before they put Hell in our mind

And died seven times then found I could travel through time

Through my ancestors, no more, no lesser

Ain't no tithe or no fee, God wanna be free, yeah

But y'all pimpin' religion, pushin' division, cool (Yeah)

I want my family, back forty, you can keep the mule (Yeah)

I'ma keep a tool, bustin' back at you (Back at you)

Call me Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (Yeah)

He a Mississippi shooter, y'all don't get it, though (Though)

Y'all talkin' God, do you really live it, though? (Live it, though)

[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (On some things)

And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things

I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'

He told me that Heaven's waitin', I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
