Pure Motifz - Paradise Viewz

It's that place up in the sky
That's where I want to be one day
I know I can get there
I got to get myself together cause I got someplace to go
And I'm praying when I get there I see every face I know
Forget the fame and fortune, God is irreplaceable
Nothing's more important, don't you dare forsake your soul
See, I was doing Christian things
As a young-in' I was told to spread my gifted wings
Righteous living is exactly what the mission brings
But I couldn't shake this feeling I was missing things
I was tempted by the people around me
All my peers had a blunt or a bottle in hand
The only lighthouse when the evil surrounds me
How can you chase God when you're following man?
It don't work like that
I feel so lost, I'm just trying to get my purpose back
I've had friends and foes alike tell me church is wack
I hit them with that Urkel laugh
Cause if I'm in God's circle blessings will circle back
I'm not worried bout no mansions or no dollars
I don't need no fancy cars or shoes to polish
Walking round bragging bout my doctorate from college
Cause what good is all this knowledge if you godless?
I got to get myself together cause I got someplace to go
And I'm praying when I get there I see every face I know
Forget the fame and fortune, God is irreplaceable
Nothing's more important, don't you dare forsake your soul
In paradise there's no more
Backbiting, tax writing, backsliding
Man you know what's up
No pain, no reason to get a shoulder rub
No rain, no demons around to hold us up
It's a city of gold
Walls built out of gems
The sun and moon are no more
His glory lights up the hemisphere
No more sin or imprisonment everybody's free
Holding my breath in anticipation I got to see
The new Jerusalem open for those who choose to come
We shoot the ones with the devil that's just the rule of thumb
He gone try to take us out our element
777 yeah we heaven sent
But in the meantime I'm here on earth
Wish that I could touch the sky but I'm stuck on dirt
And we all mess up cause we need some work
But thank God he can heal that hurt
Why do bad things happen to good people
Why do blessings come to those who do evil
This world is corrupted (this world is corrupted)
So who you put your trust in (who you put your trust in)
This world is corrupted (this world is corrupted)
So who you put your trust in (who you put your trust in)
I got to get myself together cause I got someplace to go
And I'm praying when I get there I see every face I know
Forget the fame and fortune, God is irreplaceable
Nothing's more important, don't you dare forsake your soul
Get myself together cause I got someplace to go
Get myself together cause I got someplace to go
Get myself together cause I got someplace to go
Get myself together cause I got someplace to go
