Erykah Badu - Heaven Somewhere lyrics

[Common] Phone rang Screen said caller ID blocked But for some reason, I decided to answer it On the other end was a French accent He told me we needed to rap quick Cause he had did some bad sh** And would be gone for years Spending these last two days with his momma and his kids When he spoke, I wasn't trying to hear it Cause I knew he was a real good person And this didn't seem like it was in his spirit He couldn't believe as much as I couldn't, what he had done He said now it's time for him to turn himself in For no longer could he run From life, from God I started thinkin, "Why is doin' right is so hard?" I thought back to when we was in London, discussin' the New Testament And how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best of it My voice became desperate, so I asked him: "Why you gotta go?" He said, "You know, turn to Matthew 24" He said, "No one knows the hour, nor do they know the day But the kingdom is near; don't let anything lead you astray As long as God is with me, everything will be okay" So right about then, we decided to pray... [Omar Lye-Fook] Just lying back making the smoke disperse away.... Deep into clouds (deep into clouds) It's making things appear to me so clearly.... Deep in the clouds (deep in the clouds) Just lying back making the smoke disperse away... Deep in the clouds (deep in the clouds) It's making things appear to me so clearly... Deep into clouds (yeah) [Cee-Lo Green] Your time Is a terrible thing to waste!!! For theres Not one of these possesions that you can bring to space (yeah, it don't matter) Its a challenge But the chance of seeing, is quite a dream to chase (yes it is) I hope I remind God of him when he sees my face (yeah) He gon see it! [Bilal] (keeps on ) This feeling just keeps on lifting me higher (ever) And its everflowing it's everflowing (keeps on ) When every thing, puts a smile on my face(ever-flowing, ever-flowing) And I recognize the strong goal But I keep on going, I keep on going (he keeps on going) I keep on going on!!
