“If Heaven was a Mile away”
(Verse 1: Fawng Daw)
Work hard, play hard, cus you gotta have fun
Fast cars, bad broads, so you gotta get funds
Smoke dro, yolo, cus you only live once, right?
But what happens after death, huh?
What you gon do if descending angels
Come to take you to a luminous escalator
In the horizon, leading heaven’s gates
But Saint Peter says you don’t have a reservation
You used to have a respected name
But the only way to a ticket depends on faith
And now you struggle to come up with an explanation
But it is too late, you should have yesterday
But you were busy investing in elegant jackets
And now they send you to the basement of infinite anguish
But I’m not here to criticize secular habits
Homie I just wanna ask a hypothetical question
(Chorus: Fawng Daw)
If heaven was a mile away
Would your credit card unlock the gates?
Would your connections help decide you fate?
Would your status satisfy the saints? Imagine that (2x)
(Verse 2: Koboei)
Status, fortune, fame, benzes, and pearls
Instant gratification, just the ways of the world, yeah
With all this pressure we can’t help it
More following than leaders, ayo rest in peace Mandela
What if heaven was at the nearest exit
The angels that protect you can care less about your Lexus
Your rolex wont’t give you the time back
Gain the world but lose your soul, life is empty without that
More to this life than winning trophies and ice
Always count your blessings cus it could be over tonight
Lacking interaction, talking turn into tappin
Trapped in, digital prison really
Queens wanna be the baddest chick, it’s getting scary
Love, what’s gon happen when that beauty fades? Yeah
And circumstances take you to the gates? Uh
What if heaven was a mile away?
(Chorus: Fawng Daw)
If heaven was a mile away
Would your credit card unlock the gates?
Would your connections help decide you fate?
Would your status satisfy the saints? Imagine that (2x)
(Verse 3: Fawng Daw & Koboei)
Even if there isn’t a paradise
Even if there’s nothing like miserable afterlife
Would you still be motivated to sacrifice?
Would you strive to be a positive paradigm?
An old man told me bout life experience
I asked him if he had any big regrets
He said “Living life flying on business trips
I shoulda spent way more time with the wife and kids”
It’s like the world goin insane over the pay
Besides your word you cannot take it to the grave
And life is short cus heaven ain’t too far away
So find a purpose and aim that won’t decay
People usually get caught up in who they are
You can be a barber, hustler, lawyer, or movie star
But where does the soul go when you turn into a corpse
BUT DON’T BE TOO APPALLED CUS IT’S JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
(Chorus: Fawng Daw)
If heaven was a mile away
Would your credit card unlock the gates?
Would your connections help decide you fate?
Would your status satisfy the saints? Imagine that (2x)
