Heaven

This song just came on random while I was working. WOW, why wasn't this on any record? Sometimes Prince confuses me. This song is so damn good and weird. Am I the only one who is feeling this song?

Take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine
I said take this beat, I don't mind
I got plenty others and they so fine

Take my coffee, but don't U touch my cream
Make me holler, make me scream
Your sister ugly, that's the truth
She pees in the backyard, sleep on the roof


I Wish U Heaven 12" - AMAZING. So funking funky. It's one of my favourites EPs.

Have always loved "Heaven", sometimes known as "A Place In Heaven"

"She lives on a rope of self pity
It only requires a noose"
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

And actually a song to itself, until Prince tacked it on the end of "I Wish U Heaven"

That is incorrect. "Heaven" is a song on its own.

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...tml#heaven

Heaven will be here on earth
If we just try 2 love

Heaven, heaven
We will find heaven
Heaven, all in time

Other people we are glad 2 meet [another] lost
Soon our hearts are heavy till no man could bear the cross
We can dream of color if we look into the sun
[On a] day of kindness only blind will dig the one

There's only one heaven
Heaven
We will find heaven
All in time

(Heaven) {repeated in BG}

Anybody want 2 go 2 hell?
Hell no!
Don't like hell

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(U'll know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(U will know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

When I go
(When U go)
Will I know
(I don't know)
When I go
(When U go)
When will I know
(U gotta bear your soul)

Heaven {repeated}

I love that he has a strong grounding in knowledge of the afterlife. God's using him as a wake up tool to those who don't believe in the possibility of earning a season ticket for the highway to Hell.

My favorite showcase of such fundamental wisdom is in Let's Go Crazy wink He's cominnnnn

A Place In Heaven

She wants a place in heaven
But she cannot face the truth
She lives on a rope of self-pity
It only requires a noose
Why are the ones so afraid 2 live
Much more afraid 2 die?
It's as easy 2 imagine laughing
When U really hear a cry
And they sound the same
In hell, they sound the same

U want a place in heaven
Maybe U're already there
Life's what U make it, stop whining baby
Love comes 2 those who care
There must be children in heaven
Ones who know nothing from hate
3-year-old leaders of all colors
I'd feel safer with them in control, control, control, control
3-year-olds in control

We all want a place in heaven
Suites of that level are few
Let's not be lazy, there's no room service
It's all up 2 me and U
Let's not be lazy, there's no room service
It's all up 2 me and U
