Heaven - Lyrics by Ice Cube


Lyrics
[
Verse One:]


Listen to the preacherman

But are you talkin' to me
I can't hear you with a mouth full of pig's feet

If I should need the swine flesh

Your body is a mess, but you're blessed

With a father, son, spirit and the holy ghost

But my whole neigborhood is comatose

Lookin' for survival

The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible400 years gettin' our ass kicked

By so-called christians and catholics

But I watch 'em burn in a fire

See I'm a g, that's why I ain't in your choir

Cause I see, cause I know

The church ain't nothin' but a fashion show

Get the devil to a 187

And they won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven

[
Verse Two:]


You're waitin' for the devil to come from the ground

Clown, take a look around

Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin'
A beast in sheep's clothing

But I'm rollin' with that knowledge of self

Cause heaven ain't just wealth

So mister preacher, if I couldn't pay my tithe

Do I have to wait outside?

White man, please take another look

Cause we couldn't be readin' out of the same book

Cause youse a crook and I'm a brother

King James had sex with his mother

Is that your edition? Is that your religion?

Black man, you gotta make a desicion

Cause God is comin' on day number seven

And he won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven

[
Verse Three:]


The same white man that threw me in the slammer

He bombed the church in Alabama

So if I cock the hammer, God won't mind

If I have to kill the human swine

Cause God is a killer from the start

Why you think Noah had to build his ark

And God is a man from his feet to his hair

That's why you say 'amen' after each and every prayer
I just stare at the church man

Spendin' more money on the church band

But Elijah's got a plan

Got the white man screamin': '
Damn that Farrakhan!'

Cause one day these babies are uprise

Much more than bowties and bean pies

Kickin' knowledge at 7-11

And they won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven
