Heaven or Hell
1.8.7. Deathstep Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tokyo, this is why I love you
I hate 1of1
In hell or heaven, you know that I keep a weapon
Automatic on me, I'ma let it go
She don't really know me, but it's okay for the video
Lately, I've been in my mind
I don't even know what time it is, I gotta press rewind
I got different demons and the angels but they on my side

D-devil in a dress, does she even really fuck with me?
'Cause I went on a date with karma, now they all been loving me
Yeah, they all been loving me
I just love the lifestyle but I don't want no company
I've been on some other shit, pull up in the mothership
Then I'll resurrect him, check collecting from the government
I'm a super villain or a vigilante
Please don't try me, you'll get buried all up in the cemetery
Horror fueled dark night, heaven or hell, I'm taking your life

I'm not lying, say good and wake up on the other side
Am I dreaming
