Worldly Angel
Tech N9ne Lyrics

Mama told me I was her angel sent down from heaven
My mother told me that I was an angel sent from heaven.

When I was a little one enthusiasm caught my dome and lessons
As a child, I was eager to learn and absorbed the teachings I was given.

Teachin' me 'bout the Seven and how I should be a reverend
My mother taught me about the Seven and encouraged me to become a reverend.

She really gave me a "this world is not my home" impression
My mother instilled in me a sense that I didn't belong in this world.

Sent down to help lost souls and fight their foes
I was sent to Earth to help lost souls and fight their enemies.

Angels chose to toss woes when the night air's cold
Angels are known to help people in need, especially in times of despair.

But it got to me when she looked up and said (I'll soon be gone)
My mother's mortality began to weigh on me when she told me she would soon be gone.

Then I was right there, froze
I was overcome with emotion and unable to move or react.

'Cause that meant, I'd be alone
My mother's impending death meant that I would be alone.

The second, that she was gone
As soon as my mother passed away,

I was beckoned by my brethren
I was called by my fellow angels.

Then my head spinned like (buzz)
My mind was spinning and overwhelmed with confusion and grief.

Tech went to be a grown
I grew up and became a more complex person.

A complex gent, that see the wrong
I see the wrongs in the world more clearly.

And blessed it with the best scripts
I express my opinions and feelings through my music.

I invested my whole life, chose light
I dedicated my entire life to spreading positivity and light.

But the people down here don't know what to do with it
Many people on Earth don't appreciate or understand my message.

When I fly away cause I really don't know too many that's true with it, ya know?
When I die, I don't know many people who will truly understand or support my message.

(I know)
I understand.

Ya know?
Do you understand?

Man
An expression of frustration or exasperation.

They don't understand me, when I say everybody's family
When I say that everyone is a part of the same family, people don't understand.

With the evil deeds they proved me wrong, I failed
People's evil actions have made me feel like I was wrong in my beliefs.

To the heavens you can hand me
I want to be accepted into heaven.

'Cause my guy will never just land me
I believe that God will never abandon me.

Down deep with Satan, that is not my home in hell
I don't belong in hell, with Satan.

But where I'm living now, people are living foul
People in the world are living immorally or unethically.

They keep they heaters on the key to stone
People keep their guns ready to use, which is dangerous and harmful.

I'm mentally stiffened, wow
The negative environment has made me emotionally numb or hardened.

A lot of love is missing now, so (I'll soon be gone)
There's a lack of love in the world, and I know that I will die soon.

'Cause they don't wanna listen to what I'm giving thou
People don't want to hear or accept my message of love and positivity.

Love, but who gets it usually disperse
Love is often not reciprocated or spread to others.

B-b-but wait, it gets worse, I found out it never helped it hurts
The more I spread love, the more I realize that it doesn't always help and can even harm.

I thought my job was to give it all the works
I believed it was my responsibility to spread love as much as possible.

To many it's worldly, when you can't control your thirst
For many people, love is seen as a worldly desire or a source of temptation.

So if I can't bring happy, I'll go
If I can't make people happy or bring them love and peace, then I will leave and find my own happiness.

Flings that this queen catch me really seems tacky, ya know?
The prospect of a superficial relationship with a woman doesn't interest me, you know?

Fear not, cause this ain't the point when you hear shots
Don't be afraid, because this isn't the moment when you hear gunshots.

Me, and my peers got, by God's will dropped in the weird pot
My companions and I were chosen by God to face a strange and difficult life.

I wanna ascend cause I'm feelin' like I'm near shock
I want to go to heaven because I feel overwhelmed by the trials of life.

Mama gone I'm feelin' like I want the rest of my years blocked
After my mother's death, I feel like I want to shut out everything and live in solitude.

You got your ears locked?
Are you listening and paying attention?

This world is not my home
I feel like I don't belong in this world.

This life will soon be gone
I know that my time on Earth is fleeting.

And one day, I'll spread my wings
Someday, I will leave this world and go to heaven.

Gonna fly away, I'm gonna fly away
I will leave this world behind and start anew in heaven.
