Heaven's Gate ft. Great Black Century Lyrics

This is a miracle

I walk with man on earth but I'm a star

So many people I hold close

If I look back I'd see their far away

All these distant memories

Piece together who you are today

Fragments can detach us

And fair-weather friends they fade away

Treat you how I treat you

Take on situations case by case

Why you speak behind my back

Let's conversate face to face

Look how fast they're running

But in circles just to stay in place

That bridge that formed between us

Was built to teach us, our saving grace

Found a mound to pitch

And got so good the plug call me Ace

Success is so familiar now

It's grown to be my favorite taste

Her peaks and valley might distract me

But that's just another life skill

I pulled up late

She made a steak

I put forty on her light bill

Yeah living life minding my business

Warm up drills this a layup line

God is my witness

Shit got hot but I got out without sinking

My day ones know the flows been cold since the beginning

Dwayne Swayze

I see the pattern in the clouds

Heaven's Gate that navigates me through the crowds

Verses like vows spoken when they're read aloud

Those that left it to us can walk away feeling proud

Unusual beautiful things

Break curses write verses

Speak cursive like West African last names

Hours in the fast lane

Mash burn cash veggies in ya pockets

Catch rockets v mavs

Twenty at the half a sophisticated craft

Black mayors eatin' mango in an iridescent jag

Old whip spaceship dope math share the bag

I loved the way she wore her locs up wit gold fronts

Jazz piano chords over slow motion break away dunks

Forty points ten steals and zero fucks

Black Is Love T French tuck we up we up

Quit soda hood yoga at dawn before the alarm

The morning is warm ignoring the bombs

The story is a shorty but the muhfuckin legacy long

Yeah notice I'm white lotus calm

Light focus on

Up before the sun singin' with my favorite song

I see the lantern in the clouds

Heaven's Gate gold shine bold like crowns

Ancestors faces black coal white gowns

M'boy we turnin' up to settle down

At the gates
