Heaven All Around Me
Saba Lyrics

Yelling at my mother like "I know you hit me"
I'm confronting my mother about hitting me, but she denies it and we argue.

Get a little closer repeat
I keep trying to get closer to her to explain myself, but our conversation keeps repeating and going in circles.

Bus driver pass me up, don't see me
The bus driver doesn't see me and passes me up, leaving me stranded.

Paramedic talk about what he need He need his oxygen
I see a paramedic talking about needing oxygen to help someone who's struggling to breathe.

They say I'm incompetent I see the consequence
People are saying I'm incompetent, but I see the consequences of my actions and try to learn from them.

I walk when I can't hear them they ain't audible
When people are saying things that I can't hear or understand, I simply walk away from them because their words are not audible to me.

I got a light I gotta go
I feel like I have a purpose and a direction in life, and I need to follow that path and keep moving forward.

Forensics search for follicle I promise y'all I'm not a ghost
Investigators are searching for evidence, but I want to assure everyone that I'm not a ghost and that I'm a real person.

Look, there's heaven all around me There's heaven all around me There's heaven all around me There's heaven, heaven, heaven
Despite the difficulties and chaos around me, I believe that there's a heavenly presence in my life, surrounding me with blessings and positivity.

No I can't your pain But I can see the stars No I ain't leave in vain But I know we with God
I can't take away someone else's pain, but I can look up at the stars and find hope. I haven't left this world without any purpose, and I believe that we are all connected to God in some way.

Yelling at my brothers like "I know that I'm here" Regardless how loud they don't hear Walking through the crowd they share tears I know I did not disappear
I try to get my brothers' attention and remind them that I'm still here and alive, but even if they don't hear me, I know that I exist and am present. As I walk through a crowd of emotional people, I realize that my presence is felt and acknowledged.

Uphill I'm battlin' I see the cameraman I see the new stations truck parked outside It's every channel here Yeah, interview, interview, interview, cut Someone just bet out because they got (What!) Chalk outline look like the shape of my shadow Can't go right through the wall if I try touch
I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle, but I see the media surrounding me and trying to capture my story. I'm constantly being interviewed, and someone even made a bet based on my situation. As I look at a chalk outline that resembles my shadow, I realize that I can't go through walls or avoid the attention and scrutiny of others.
