Where Was Heaven * - Wu-Syndicate

* - a different version is on The Swarm Vol. 1 

[Myalansky] 
This goes out to all my cats in the projects 
Just livin it, still livin it 
Thru the rough times and the bad times, 
the crimes, where was heaven 
Must be somewhere here, though, for real 
I never seen the place 
Maybe some place you got when you die 

An ordinary cat from outer projects, since I was younger though 
Mom raised her children, pops dipped a long time ago 
In my mind I see flashbacks, I had no fancy clothes 
Skinny, ugly, knotty head nigga crying with a snotty nose 
Even though my father neglect, he pay the child support 
Hadn't seen him all these years, I hug his ass in court 
Always saying I'm comin to get you and I be waitin too 
Holiday and birthday presents was never comin through 
Remember at the age 13 I started smokin weed 
Hanging out with cats that was older, start to run the street 
Dropped out of high school selling drugs, impressin chicks 
Spent most my cheddar on gear, my man was buyin whips 
New York, Jamaican, Miami niggaz, flooded Virginia quick 
Cause signin work only if buying, prices was high as shit 
Remember when I first got hit, I seen the iron spit 
50 cash bent in one corner bleeding where pellet hit 
My man Shawn, he held on strong 
Slug burn through his lower back side, crack his spine exit his arm 
Lost him twice on the hospital table and when he died I cried my eyes out 
I couldn't take it (damn damn), but the same things continued to happen 
Niggaz got bust, I'm a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt 
Playing innocent in front of my elders 
I was running with them cats that be robbing too, I couldn't tell 'em 
If my name was up in any type trouble, my moms would tell me 
Just like you brothers into s
