Heaven Can Wait

[Verse 1] On the way down the birth canal I met Satan He was in my mother's cervix just waiting Said, "Join me or your death will be blatant" Sorry Matt Damon, that's a Bourne Ultimatum My mother reached in and said "Sorry, God made him" He ain't yours Satan, you must be mistaken Satan told me what a mistake I was making That's why when I'm gone, my mother feels vacant Life is metaphorical, ain't it? My mother's a soft cell, so my love is tainted School me y'all ballers, call me Mr. Macon I sat in his class everybody hated SAT English, but I didn't hate it I used it to make my vocabulary dangerous So every 16 is a Van Gogh painting And as I stand here at the pearly gates naked I say.... [Hook] Hey God I know you brought me here for a reason But everybody down here is still grieving And even if you let me stay here for a season (Maybe i’ll stay) (There's a chance i'll stay) So let me stay here for a little bit I'll be back up there in a little bit Now this could be just a huge mistake but.. (Maybe i’ll stay) ... [Verse 2] Take me back to Chuck E. Cheese in Ohio Back to the basement in Cleveland watching Fivel Back to when I walked through Harlem with my Bible Sunday morning going to refuge for revival Back to the day when I first met Howard Back to my uncle's first day in Howard Back when I thought only rappers ate carrots Back then, V.A. before I knew her name was Jamarris Nah, I'm ain't obsessed, not even embarrassed Sorry for repeating your name, feel like a parrot I ain't trying to smear your name, just venting I got it all out, now I can go on living But I can still see a lot of shit divot So I can still see a lot of shit different And with the extra time on Earth I was given There's still a lot of things that's still missing, dig it? [Hook] Hey God I know you brought me here for a reason But everybody down here is still grieving And even if you let me stay here for a season (Maybe i’ll stay) (There's a chance i'll stay) So let me stay here for a little bit I'll be back up there in a little bit Now this could be just a huge mistake but.. (Maybe i’ll stay) ... [Verse 3] If I could find a way to fly Then I will meet you in the sky, meet me on Cloud 9 My destination is unknown But there is nowhere else to go, meet me on the outside But then I could find a consequence Or it might be a lack of common sense But when I meet those pearly gates Will I tell the lord to wait? [Hook] Hey God I know you brought me here for a reason But everybody down here is still grieving And even if you let me stay here for a season (Maybe i’ll stay) (There's a chance i'll stay) So let me stay here for a little bit I'll be back up there in a little bit Now this could be just a huge mistake but..
