Lyrics
This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue
Black angels beckon me, from Heaven's open door
I ain't on what y'all on no more
This for those shot dead in the land of the livin'
I pray the hood in the sky got streets with gold trimmings
And the linens on your back cover sins that's forgiven
And you see He who is risen has the skin that's forbidden
'Cause oh, how life seems black and white seems black and white (oh, how life seems black and white)
Until the light adds color (until the light adds color)
To those that died, may your soul take pride (to those that died, may your soul take pride)
In knowing you were so much more than colored
This world is not my home (this world is not my home)
I'm just a-passin' through (I'm just passin' through)
My treasures are laid out (treasures are laid out)
Somewhere beyond the blue (somewhere beyond the blue)
Black angels beckon me (angels beckon me)
From Heaven's open door (from Heaven's open door)
I ain't on what y'all on no more
Throughout my life, I found in crunch time, ain't too many that sit up
Had to pivot, hood look like Quidditch with all them sticks up
In the air, somewhere so I said prayers with blicks tucked
Shoot her by my strudel for demons trying to brew
Hiccups get up, dick up, hiss up, saint's in the synagogue
When a coochie nigga don't get active, that's called menopause
Some say all dogs go to heaven, some say that all men are dogs
I see butter on both sides of bread, 'cause I know men are flawed
We just conduits bonded with both our palms again each other
Praying time permits us to be corresponding with
The one who placed a nigga in Gary, that soon would moonwalk
And brought Lazarus back intact
When Martha's Trap had tune talk, my flow goose walk
After they see the mother and father and cousins ordering systems designed to slaughter them
Holy Ghost pardoning niggas whose hearts been hardened
And trying to get back to living in life, you got a kite, cuz
'Cause oh, how life seems black and white seems black and white (oh, how life seems black and white)
Until the light adds color (until the light adds color)
To those that died, may your soul take pride (to those that died, may your soul take pride)
In knowing you were so much more than colored
This world is not my home, I'm just a passin' through (I'm just a-passin' through)
My treasures are laid out (treasures are laid out)
Somewhere beyond the blue (somewhere beyond the blue)
Black angels beckoning me (angels beckoning me)
From Heaven's open door (Heaven's open door)
I ain't on what y'all on no more
Better is a little, with the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turn me over with it
Heaven's open door, yeah, yeah
