Hesitate
Bun B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
(Cory Mo)
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
Lately, I've been puttin' my life into perspective
Reflective of my past, bein' retrospective
Lookin' at the good and the bad, then my early days
Wonderin' if I still got a path to the pearly gates
Life wasn't always the way that it is today
It used to take me damn near losin' my life just to pray
But nowadays, I'm more conscious of my ways
And all it takes is me wakin' up to give Him praise
Came a long way from who I was and what I did once
All I used to care about was sippin' drink and big blunts
But now I got a family and they countin' on me
To give 'em what they need I climb the highest mountain, homie
So every day I'm workin' on the enemy
To find the best way that I could balance out my energy
Nobody's perfect, no matter what it look like on the surface
Just hopin' I get closer to my purpose, say amen
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (yeah)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (yeah, yeah)
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin' (turn me up a lil' bit)
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I'm on a course switchin' over to God, I got the devil waitin'
I'm outlastin' 'em, outcast and I'm elevatin'
Keymaster lookin' for keepers of heaven's gate
He faster to beat, them others hesitate
Here's the sitch, I know them snitches be sayin' some things
Actin' like a bro ain't play, mama, I wanna sing
Just because I'm from the 'hood don't mean I gotta bang
Our neighborhood affiliated, the police a gang
They say my name, but say it soft like under they breath
We mutilated like people livin' under the steps
We stayin' pressed, there'll be none of us left
The fool death, it got 'em thirsty for blood, hungry for death
They give us scratch from the feast, we actin' like we amazed
Street blacks like beasts, they lock us right in a cage
Every day I fight for freedom 'cause it's not just a phase
I'm not just slayin', people don't get to tell me how to behave, nah
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin' (yeah, yeah)
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I'm like Nelly wit' a visa, you only show me off at nighttime
Fight time is what it is 'cause I hit killer kids
What y'all want? Pray wit' 'em and stay wit' 'em
Build back up to slave quarters to stay wit' 'em, yeah
Wasn't slavery in the name of the promise?
They come knockin' at my door, watch 'em runnin' 'em off
We were fine before they put hell in our mind
And died seven times and found I could travel through time
Through my ancestors, no more, no less
Ain't no tide on no feed dot, wanna be free, yeah
But y'all flippin' religion, pushin' division, cool (yeah)
I want my family back, forty, you can keep the mule (yeah)
I'ma keep a tool, bistin' back at you (at you)
Call me Mahmud, I do Ryu (yeah)
He a Mississippi shooter, y'all don't get it, though (though)
Y'all talkin' God, do you really live it, though? (Live it, though)
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things (on some things)
And I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
I spoke to Yahweh, I've been meditatin'
He told me that heaven's waitin'
I told Him I'm hesitatin' on some things
