Tears In Heaven
R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Won't let a bitch stop my grind no more
I aint got the time no more
Won't let a nigga block my shine no more
Momma I won't cry no more
I just pray he reveal what I don't know
Won't let excuses be the reason I fail
No weapon formed against me shall prevail
Sad to say I'd rather see you in jail than in a coffin between heaven or hell
Stay dangerous don't stay safe cause niggas ain't playing fair
The streets watered down soupy as hell
I lost my mind 100 times like Kanye they think I'm crazy as hell
I hope you know this world crazy as well
Some shit just don't be for you and you still out here opening mail
You knew the good news before I could tell
We use to go outside as kids and play
Old school shit like Kid and Play
I just knew that I'd be big one day
I'm talking Big, Pac, Nas, Wayne and Jay
Em, Ye, Snoop and Dre nigga I'm mutually great
Real niggas keep it a stack Andre
You want a verse now I need three k
If I don't shit ima get me some cake
Reinvest into my craft keep my head down and stay out the way
Momma I won't cry no more
Won't let a bitch stop my grind no more
I aint got the time no more
Won't let a nigga block my shine no more
Momma I won't cry no more
I just pray he reveal what I don't know
Won't let excuses be the reason I fail
No weapon formed against me shall prevail
I don't know how I feel
But I would feel a lil better if you niggas kept it real
Can't understand why a nigga like me ain't gotta deal
I put my all in this shit, blood sweat and tears
You can't imagine all the shit I been through over the years
Riding round dangling late night got my nigga killed
I lost my freedom three times so I be in the crib
My brother almost died high speed I'm glad my nigga here
Momma got her grand-babies treat em like her kids
Granny, Auntie, and Cuz gone I coulda dropped a tear
Somebody hurt one my sisters only thing I fear
Smoke em like a orange head or get that nigga peeled
I don't know nothing but rap nigga I'm really skilled
Nigga we can go line for line or we can pop a seal
It don't matter what you do nigga get it how you live
Aint no back and forth, that tit for tat just show which nigga lil

Oh, how I long for my little brother’s presence. If Pac was alive, I think he would be asking Almighty God to help us with the world’s problems. May my brother Rest In Peace in Jesus mighty name, amen.
