What's Heaven Like
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

Yeah..
Acknowledging the beginning of the song.

I Don't Know What Heaven Like
Confessing Silkk doesn't know what heaven is like.

But I know what it is to be here
Stating that the rapper knows what it is to be on earth.

And While I'm here, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to survive
Promising to do whatever it takes to survive on earth.

And hope that, when God judge me
Expressing hope in being judged by God.

He judge me by my heart and not by my actions
The author wants to be judged by how they feel not by what they do.

Shhh let them know what heaven like.
Inviting the audience to inquire about heaven.

I really want to know what's Heaven Like
Silkk repeats that he is curious about heaven.

(wanna know what's heaven like)
Reemphasizing the desire to know.

If I closed my eyes, will I see a better life
Asking whether a better life awaits after death.

(gotta be a better place than this)
Expressing that heaven has to be a better place than earth.

Is there no more pain suffering or strife
Wishing to know if there is no pain or suffering in heaven.

(I need to know, I need to know)
The rapper declares their need to have answers.

Lord, please see me cry and tell me what's heavens like
Asking God to reveal what the afterlife is like.

Dear God I wrote you a letter, but I know its not needed
Addressing God, but feeling that there's no need to write.

See I'm cool and all, but could you help out all my people (please)
Asking God for help to help others.

There are kids dying and starving, I wish somebody would feed em
Depicting sad situations of children dying, starving and needing help.

Nobody playing their part, everybody being greedy
Observing the selfishness of people.

I got letters from jail with my homies tears on it (tears on it)
Disclosing that he received correspondence from incarcerated friends that included their tears.

Put his last years on it
Writing letters that depict the end of life.

Sometimes I feel haunted
Admitting to feeling affected or haunted by his friends' struggles.

Is Heaven a place like I ain't never been
Wondering if heaven is a place that is beyond anyone's experience.

And is Heaven a place where we don't ever sin
Asking if heaven is a sin-free place.

And if there is a Heaven, what answers will find us best
Asking what kind of answers people will find in heaven.

So I can tell my auntee with cancer she can finally rest (rest in peace)
Looking forward to finding peace for a beloved relative who passed away from cancer.

Through it all I'm just trying to remain bein a soldier
Stating that despite the struggles, the author is pushing through like a soldier.

Line not transcribed.

I thought I saw you but it was night time
Feeling that they saw or talked to God but realizing it may just have been night-time thoughts.

I don't know if I was woke or dreamin or was I in my right mind
Not knowing if this experience was real or just a dream.

I wonder how many people have questions like mine
Wondering how many other people have the same questions.

Is Heaven for everybody and all of my people
Questioning whether everyone can go to heaven, including people he knows.

And everybody who left us on earth so we get finally meet em.
Wondering if he will get to meet loved ones who passed away.

I just want to know why, I be missin my block
Asking why he feels nostalgic for where he grew up.

And I wonder what happened to people like Biggie and Pac.
Wondering what happened to late rap legends Tupac and Biggie.

'cause if there is a Heaven, I'm sure everbody want to know.
Affirming that if there is a heaven, everyone wants to know.

And if there is a place like this, I'm sure everyone want to go.
If heaven exists, everyone would want to go.

I'm tired of struglin and husslin not knowing where to go...
Feeling tired of struggling and hustling and not knowing what to do.

I'm tired of struglin and husslin not knowing what for...
Feeling tired of struggling and hustling with no clear purpose.

'cause see this life will get you fed up (fed up)
The inefficiencies of life can cause frustration.

Picture me telling my mom and dad to keep their head up
Using an encouraging phrase when things are hard.

Telling them its gonna be alright, when I knowing its not
Feeling like there is no hope despite the words of encouragement.

Telling my homie he's gonna be alright, when I knowing he's shot
Trying to stay positive despite a friend's injuries.

I wonder what he saw before he died that would leave him shook
Curious what a friend saw before passing away that left him feeling shaken.

And should I believe everything I read in books
Questioning the reliability of books.

God, just gimme some time
Asking God for more time.

If not, gimme a sign (lemme know)
Asking for a sign if he cannot be given more time.

What's Heaven like
Asking again about what heaven is like.

There's so many question I want to ask
Acknowledging that there are many questions that need answering.

But one day ain't enough (for real)
One day is insufficient for all the questions he has.

I just want to help my people out man
The desire to help others, especially his people.

Money ain't about nothing
Money is not a motivator for the author.

I just want ya'll to know how I feel
Sharing his feelings with his audience.

[Chorus] (repeat 3x)
The chorus, that expresses the need to know what heaven is like is repeated three times.
