O Heaven Lyrics

[Verse]
O, Heaven, how could I forget you?
Rose to the occasion, one day plucking petals
Stole something precious, should've been the way I left you
But no matter what's changed, sustain, be the best you
The rest grew restless as cousin's sleep
Wanted peace but the search wasn't deep
I invest in my week to see a brighter Monday morn', but
Woke up on Tuesday in the same uniform (Damn)
And through it all, I try not to do you wrong
As I have in the past, rapping other love songs
But it's kinda hard building lust when your trust gone
Money was the object of affect-, they ain't want Jean
Should've gone with my first love
Maybe moved out to Vigo and wrote books in cursive
Learned a little French and do the film I've been tryna make
And translate the feeling I was feeling at my modern-day

Took a break with the wiz, gave the rhymes a break
Busted hard enough to make the condom break
No seeds, no sticks, no stems
Old gems found crumbled by the bubble-goose and Timbs
I can hear the hymns and the choirs from the pews
Where Mom sat listening to Sunday's blues
In the scuffed penny loafs that I stuffed a nickel into
All-white Easter suit that won't fit you
Sent through Heaven to Hell to sell dreams of
Places once dwelled but I fell for the green stuff
Swore I could fly back and say hi again
But my money was no good, I needed time to spend
Brought me back to my youth when I was grinding with no loot
Book full of rhymes with the gold tooth
With the scripture engraved, over a picture of the days
When I dreamt of being richer, liquor pours

From the picture to the glass house
Built for lookers to remember the soul once 'membered: gone
Gotta find it in her
And we happily concur, ever after, one blur
Marry matching, one word: love
Found crumpled in notebooks you never saw
Belittled thoughts and yada-yada
Drama side, my, traumatized by, um
Falling off in the water, which was softer than the ground-level
Found holding soul of daisies without petals
How special
Oh heaven, how could I forget you?
[Chorus]
Love, love, my love (My dedication to the muses)
Heaven, heaven above
All that, all that it once was
Stars lost and found us
Time, time goes by (Yeah)
Smiles, smiles that cry (My dedication to the muses)
Love, love, my love (Muses)
Heaven, heaven above
All that, all that it once was
Smiles, kisses and hugs (My dedication to the muses)
Child misses that drug (To the muses)
Love, love, my love

[Outro]
Uh, music, yeah
Muses
Sent from the heavens, yeah
Just gon let it roll out on this
Music, somewhere you are
Somewhere there’s Heaven

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
