Heaven Still Cryin

(Soul Ballad)

[Intro – Low tone, piano keys, soft hums by children’s choir]

Mmm... yeah...

Ooooh, yeah...

(Lord know... they took a real one...)

[Verse 1 – Slow and smooth, hold emotion]

Used to post on the curb, now I’m talkin’ to ghosts,

Missin’ my dawg when the block get close.

Clock tick slow when your bro ain’t there,

Still hear your laugh floatin’ through the air.

You was solid, heart of the hood,

Never thought pain could cut this good.

I see your name when I shut my eyes,

Still feel you deep when I hear them skies.

[Chorus – Soulful, full male voice, boys hum and echo]

Tears in the sky, they fall so slow,

Like Heaven cryin’ for a soul we know.

You gone, but I still feel your wave,

Each breath I take, I’m callin’ your name.

Tears in the sky, they don’t dry,

Real ones live, they never die.

Your spirit loud when the streets get cold,

You the fire still burnin’ in my soul.

[Verse 2 – Slight bounce, let pain rise]

White tee framed with your name in gold,

But no picture could ever hold

What you meant to the ones who knew,

How you stood, how your vibe came through.

Still see you in them midnight talks,

Still walk your route on my daily walks.

You was light in a world so black,

And I’d give it all just to bring you back.

[Chorus – Repeat with stronger runs and harmony]

Tears in the sky, they fall so slow,

Like Heaven cryin’ for a soul we know.

You gone, but I still feel your wave,

Each breath I take, I’m callin’ your name.

Tears in the sky, they don’t dry,

Real ones live, they never die.

Your spirit loud when the streets get cold,

You the fire still burnin’ in my soul.

[Bridge – Solo male voice, stripped down piano]

When I ride, I hear your song,

Still wonder how it all went wrong.

If pain could talk, it’d say your name,

And I'd scream it loud through all this rain.

Lord, just hold my dawg tonight,

Tell him we gon’ be alright…

[Final Chorus – Full choir energy, young voices hum deeply, lead sings out]

Tears in the sky, like drops from grace,

We still marchin’, holdin’ your place.

And every note that leave this mic,

It’s for the real ones that lost they life.

Tears in the sky, and we still cry,

But your memory liftin’ us high.

You with us, even when you gone,

We singin’ your name in every song.

[Outro – Spoken softly over fading keys]

This was written by DJ OG Bones… for every soul we lost too soon.
