Searching For Heaven

Searchin' for Heaven, I found the devil
Never be ready when it's your time
Standin' for nothin', you fall for whatever
We down for whatever might cross your mind
And mama said, "Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started
(Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started)
For you'll be the one end up broken and hearted
(For you be the one, for you be the one)
Stand on your own 'til you own what you stand on
(Stand on you own, yeah, stand on your own)
'Til you turn to gold all that you put your hands on, your hands on"
I swear I am

You can have whatever that you want to (want to )
Isn't really nothin that you won't do (won't do)
Comin' from the bottom where we rise
You can meet me on the other side
I will be there
Standin' on business we never back down (back down)
Won't Ask for forgiveness after we crash out (we crash out)
Even though we made it through the worst
Swear it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt

Searchin' for Heaven, I found the devil
Never be ready when it's your time
Standin' for nothin', you fall for whatever
We down for whatever might cross your mind
And mama said, "Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started
(Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started)
For you'll be the one end up broken and hearted
(For you be the one, for you be the one)
Stand on your own 'til you own what you stand on
(Stand on you own, yeah, stand on your own)
'Til you turn to gold all that you put your hands on, your hands on"
I swear I am

Swear I am, swear I am
Swear I am, swear I am

Swear I am
Yeah
I went from the cradle to the grave
From the grave to the cradle
I've been around a thousand times
Prayin' my truth might save 'em
They said you only get one life
But I know that's a real true fable
This body is just a new label
Stuck on a old crusader
God gave me the scoop soup ladle
Now I'm eating a stew potatoes
Used to work in old shoes broke
Now I'm rocking these boots new gators
So tell me who are you playa
Just another leaf in the wind
Fallin' off the branches in the storm
Or are you a tree that only bends
Never broke, never play pretend
Never shake not a weak human
A creative genius child from the trauma
I was in it
Getting beat by my step daddy's belt
Or maybe that car wreck did it
An angels grace come out of Heaven
But I had to go to hell I admit it, amen

Searchin' for Heaven, I found the devil
Never be ready when it's your time
Standin' for nothin', you fall for whatever
We down for whatever might cross your mind
And mama said, "Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started
(Boy, don't you run from the mess that you started)
For you'll be the one end up broken and hearted
(For you be the one, for you be the one)
Stand on your own 'til you own what you stand on
(Stand on you own, yeah, stand on your own)
'Til you turn to gold all that you put your hands on, your hands on"
I swear I am

Swear I am (swear I am, swear I am)
I swear I am
