I feel like heaven is real, but the devil's outside in a brand new Porsche trying to make a deal
I see the streets are paved with gold, but when the crackheads dropping needles, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
When the crackhead drops his needle, no one knows, but I know heaven is real
I'm still learning my words, cause where I'm from, black girls get treated like dirt
Manipulated, raped, and end up on t-shirts
Long Beach Boulevard in a miniskirt
Oh Lord, save em'
A couple shootouts, I didn't wanna be involved in
I needed guidance cause I didn't feel important
I let em' touch me cause I didn't have a voice in
Took me in the scenes
Dear black girls, sex doesn't equal lovin'
Learn your worth and you'll be okay
I know it hurts, but you gotta brush your dirt off
Let the anger dissolve and find a way
I feel like heaven is real
But the devil's outside in a brand new Porsche
Tryna make a deal
I see the streets are paved with gold
But when the crackheads drop their needles, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
When the crackhead drops his needle, no one knows
But I know heaven is real
What lurks in the dark reveals yourself in the light
When scars on your back show the strength of your fight
And I know it ain't easy, weight on your chest
Bulletproof vest, you don't feel blessed
Suburban stress, hold on
Ricochet to Don Chambida
Cause behind all that pain you shine like glitter
You shine like glitter, yeah
You shine like glitter, yeah
Take my innocence
Dead black girl sex doesn't equal lovin'
Learn your worth and you'll be okay
I know, I know it hurts, but you'll be okay
I know, I know that you'll find another way
I feel like heaven is real
But the devil's outside in a brand new Porsche
Tryna make a deal
I see the streets are paved with gold
But when the crackhead's droppin' needles
No one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, no one knows
When the crackhead drops his needle
No one knows
But I know heaven is real
