Down Payment On Heaven

Glory to God in high Heaven

Peace on Earth to those on whom his favor rests

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone

Happy now the dead who died

And Lord, yes, they shall find rest in their labors

For their good work in the company

This is my down payment on Heaven

Lord, I don't wanna live in this life of sin

But it seems that murder is all around me

Subject to drown me in a world of crime

Money and drugs, slugs, thugs

Crooked cops, dirty money, and more killings on my block

I know I haven't spoken to you for a long time

But if you can't answer my questions, give me some kind of sign

Why did my partners have to die so young?

What did they do to have their lives taken one by one?

Why did that lady down the street have to get shot

When they drove by to smoke the homie serving on the block?

I often wonder what the game got in store for me

And if I die, will my niggas go to war for me?

Would I want 'em to if I'm with you in Heaven?

Would I forgive it if I'm where them evil demons be dwelling?

I get caught up in the madness, sometimes I lose my mind

Lost in the drama, debating if I should use my nine

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

They got me dying to live, living to die

Through all the blood, sweat, and tears, I done lasted

Busting the scandalous hazards

My nine got more body than Evergreen Cemetery

Or Rolling Hills, so many foes die over folding screens

Why was I birthed to this land of blood thirst?

Where bullets fly first, then you chauffeured off in a hearse

Sometimes I wonder if death is a brother's destiny

And other times I wonder if murderers truly rest in peace

Can't let destruction get the best of me

I only trust my shadow, and after that, Ned could get next to me

See, I could feel the pain from the parents that lost they children

And I could feel the strain on my brain from all them killings

So is the saying true? Live by the gun, die by the gun

Why run when your time come?

Lord, please forgive me for letting off Glocks on half-lit blocks

But some of these busters, I just gotta take with me

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

Dear God, I know you listen, I know you still there

Was there a reason for my dead homies to show up in my nightmares?

What should I do when the jealous run up on me strapped?

Death seems to follow me and I can't get him up off my back

I need to talk to you more often

'Cause I'm going to too many funerals

Seeing more and more closed coffins

Contemplating on putting slugs in suckers

With a devil up on one shoulder and an angel up on the other

Can you help me? I'm lost between life and death

Should I go locate my enemies and put 'em all to rest?

It's hard tryna function when your homie shot down

And the haters who shot him still walking around

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

(Pump, pump, pump, pump)

Goes my nine

Is this the part I take my nine and let my heat off?

For those who win the victory who keeps to my way

I will give authority over the nations

Each morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the nations

And uproot them from the city of the Lord

And this is my down payment on Heaven
