Lecrae

And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, yeah, hey
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song, yeah

We went from nothin to hunnids to millis, man
who would ve thunk it?
We went from runnin and duckin to runnin a Fortune 500
All of my people who held me down, now we liftin them up
Ain t no more stressin or strugglin
or dreadin the first of the month
Ain t no keys in the trunk, ain t no sleepin in bunks
Granny said, Count your blessings
but if I could count them, it d take me some months
Wish you could see me now, livin clean
got em callin me Reverend
Wish you could hear me now
hope you got you some headphones in Heaven
Headphones in Heaven, I wish I could tell them
I hope they can hear me, it s so much I m feelin
Walked through that alley and cried with my cousin that died
Left me broken, I still pray for healin
I know my destination
Know they patiently waiting
You can show me the ropes
when I make it, until then keep playin my station

Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, hey, yeah
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song

In another dimension
I know my auntie is grabbin my mama
and man, they just huggin and kissin
And she s sayin , Look at him, Niecy
look, Denise, he went and did it
See, Niecy, he was like you, he was a artist
he get depressed and
Yeah, he was like you, subject to trouble
and few indiscretions
Yeah, he had to war with some demons
but beat him, now gon tell Miss Bettie
I ma run and tell Mary
Miss Bettie gon tell Willie Burke
Michael made millions and traveled the Earth
I could see them, cheer them, Tuck
and Bim sittin near them
like, Look at that boy go to work
I m talkin about my Uncle Jeffrey
My Uncle Carlton, my Uncle Henry
my Uncle Ant-Man, my Uncle Vincent
I be reminiscin , sippin on whiskey
Fly as a Frisbee, from family of Christians
but I m livin risky
Street dreamin , but demons won t get me
The Lord had to fix me and God as my witness
Man, I be wishin that family could listen
and Heaven had headphones
I tell them, baby
All of them prayers you pray for me
all of them prayers, they paid off, like, baby
All of that grindin through time
and that pressure made diamonds, and now I m like, baby
I pray that you hear me, your prodigal son that came home
Baby, baby, baby

Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, hey, yeah (Okay)
And my momma got headphones in Heaven (Yeah)
I hope she hear this song

Hey, Cap
You and Clay take care of each other up there, man
Pops, you and Precious, man, y all hear me right?
Me and my guardian angels been arguin lately
Cause they say I won t go with God tryna take me
Now Satan is on me, it s taking its toll
Carried the weight, I know God in control
Bless me with all of the diamonds and gold
Stack so much dough til it s harder to fold
From millions, to thousands, to hundreds
Blessings from then until now in abundance
Commas on commas, made me a winner
Still I m a sinner who runnin from somethin
I made him a promise, no matter the sin
the devil never will win
I promise, if only you knew
in a sold-out arena on stage still I m feelin so lonely
Questionin , guessin , and missin my homies
Disguisin my tears, sayin my prayers
Laughin out loud, talkin to air
Sayin my peace when ain t nobody there
Yeah, so many people give glory to me
When I know where the glory should be
You see, cause I know how the story began
So I know how my story could be
It s a cold game if I told names
of the people who died, who done poured into me
If I tried to told you, song would ve been over, man
literally, we d have run out of beat
