One of the best, definitely my favorite rapper. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnyuqKhiDo8]Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens, part 1 - YouTube[/ame] [Intro:] Uh, Yeah, Uh Sing it, Sing it C'mon Love the whole world Hug the whole world Trust the whole world Fuck the whole world Stress the world Bust the whole world Motha fuck this whole world [Hook:] Who's World Is This? The world is yours, The world is yours Who's World Is This? Bet you feelin like the world is yours, Right? Who's World Is This? The world is yours, The World is Yours Who's World Is This? [Verse 1:] Yo, I'm tryin' to get this place that my grandpa told me bout as a child Told me only few can make it and the faithless ain't allowed Be a star out your gang & aim above the clouds And if you miss, you at least be amongst your own crowd I smile cause now I see what he meant I see it in the eyes of mothers when they uncover their sins and repent Getting closer to Jehovah on they old knees bent Praying our mind frames switch and our times change quick But I hate to say it brother, the youth is too stubborn To stuck on themselves to ever think about others They must uncover the scales, on they eyes called lies Leadin' the deaf dumb and blind To a place my mom told me bout (hell) Where your sins get cleansed 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 But as soon as I used my own thoughts I kinda got lost in a small called reality Where hell is a falacy And heaven is a fantasy created by man So don't believe in it You came here with nothing And you leavin' with nothing So retreat from this world of deceitfulness My people it's time to rise Realize it's a heaven whether you think it's inside Or in the sky reach for it Before it's gone internally And you're stuck here below the heavens for eternity [Hook:] Who's world is This? [x4] [Verse 2:] Somebody once told me that I'm already in hell Freedoms a state a mind And just the heart of me's in hell I free my slave mind so a part of me's in hell And when it's hard to breathe, a part of me inhale So pardon me you gotta' try hard to be yourself 'Cause you can't get to heaven being anybody else And I was raised by a reverend yet the lessons didn't help I had to get 'em for myself I was told hell is hot, But had to feel it for myself So I left home, as a young child smiling as I stepped on Facing the world but naked, without my weapon I lost my smile and in exchange, I put a vest on Now that my premature stress is gone I got problems to face as a man I was told you either stand or you fall As long as you know when you walk you holdin' hands with a god That alone can turn the dark to a walk in the park I only talk from my heart so open yours when you listening Every man has his own heaven the difference is the way that he envision it So if you make your heaven picture less By the time you die You'll be driftin' in an imageless field So build your heaven full of blessed thoughts That's real, you can stress it or just let it walk I got a question if a man can make his own heaven Can he make his path to get to it too? I only spit through a truth 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 Just think about it every man has his own heaven But shit you gotta' go through hell to be a man first And understand first Hell is what you choose to call the present That's why you're going through it I just choose to call it stressin' To tell you fools the truth I don't feel that why I'm destined So you can call it hell but bro I'll just say I'm below the heavens

[Gift Of Gab] You search for the answers outside Refocus causin' time and time again, backslide You've noticed times before the presence of that "I" But never did submit to it and let it apply Whatever be his will in this present life time Or essence like mine Know the blessings you might find If you let your higher power inside Emerge and apply to every single thing in your balance You will truly find Who you really are Die and become reborn When God is present in your life than you can come reap on And ain't a storm that you can't weather You got a purpose you was born to create Destiny is waitin' for you Arms open, take with ya Knowledge bestowed by the great giver Lakes, rivers Mountains and steams Now reality's the dream wraitha No more searchin' for truth that was always wit' cha It had to hit ya through the struggle and the turmoil Ya soul was planted and it sprouted out above soil And let the sun shine freely down At times it looked like it wouldn't But the plant came to flourish Now it's standin' on solid ground (Chorus 2X) Sun rises like water up in my eyes I'm watchin' changing times but like a changing tide Tryna to keep my head above the ed if I could be
