We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves."

Who in the hell told you that you were in heaven? Platinum gold, a house and a car but poverty all around you by far, people living under bridges or in a car; Heaven for the super rich who call it modern living, but the Man from the east calls it a wilderness; Cause Heaven for Whites is Hell for Blacks in america Heaven and Hell are two conditions of Life Not a place up there or a place down there It's a condition of life on earth, so value life Heaven is not things, it's a higher level of thinking And at the moment, one may change the conditions of life Our people think a job, partying and endless flow of women and Moet, Kristal and how much s** you can have is heaven Sometimes you got to think that it may not be heaven all the time, but being able to meet life's struggles head on, head on, head on, without compromising your Soul soul soul soul In this worlds Life, not Life after d**h; life on earth Life, not worrying about how you are gonna eat or put clothes on your children Sit yourself in heaven at once A woman is a very important part of heaven She produces heaven with you And if she is connected to the source of Life So heaven is a condition of Life And you can have it on earth SO VALUE LIFE VALUE LIFE Who in the hell told yall you were in heaven Oh, Oh Lord Have Mercy!
