Haven on Earth
Well how that fi right?
That cyaan right, it must wrong
'Cause how you fi live a man life fi him, you know?
How you fi tell a man weh fi do?
How you fi tell a man, weh fi eat, or weh fi drink?
How you fi tell a man who fi praise?
If him all waan praise his car, and him house, and him woman
That's his business, you know
As long as you say you a praise the King, and the Most High, you know
It's Mount Zion where the king live, seen
So you see all earthly people, it's one thing I haffi explain
It's just simple like this, you know?
[A.R.P. (Beenie Man):]
I've got heaven right here on earth (right now)
I've got heaven right here on earth (I really do)
I've got heaven right here on earth (geez, well could I hear you say?!)
Heaven right here on earth (ooh na na ooh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow)
Oh, I believe I can-
Cease, play the music please
While the youth-man dem inna the ghetto blowing out like breeze, yo
Where am I supposed to put my shoes
When Christianity and government got this whole world confused
Or, who are they to say, 2Pac shot Biggie
Or Biggie Smalls shot 2Pac, this world is getting crazy, well
My belief, my overstand
That the two of them were killed by two crazed fans
If you don't believe, ask John and Anne
A.R.P. sing me song
Then I'll prolong
[A.R.P. (Beenie Man):]
I've got heaven right here on earth (right now)
I've got heaven right here on earth (yes, I really do)
I've got heaven right here on earth (hey, could I hear you say?!)
Heaven right here on earth (ooh na na ooh, wow wow wow)
Yo! Hey!
It's the way the youth them want to grow
Every youth-man inna the ghetto want to blow up like nitro
Don't feel you're getting a raw deal
'Cause every ghetto youth want to fall in, [?] true
The Rolex's, and the Lexus's,
Alexus, pretty girls, ghetto youth can't resist
The juggling and the smuggling
In their own heavens that's where they're living in
The modelling, and the gambling
Top dawg life, that's what they're loving, but
When I die, please don't take me to heaven
Take me to Mount Zion or please burn my coffin, 'cause
[A.R.P. (Beenie Man):]
I've got heaven right here on earth (wow na na wow)
I've got heaven right here on earth (yes, I really do)
I've got heaven right here on earth (hey! A.R.P. a say)
Heaven right here on earth (A.R.P., no no no)
Yo! Yeah! Yo!
Heaven is what you it to be
Your girl, your clothes, and your old jewellery
Forget that, let's live in unity
'Cause that's the way life design to be
The wise man build his house on the rock, yeah eh
Build your house on the sand, and it must wash 'way
'Cause sea shall take it go someday
And you listen what the DJ say
'Cause the sun must go Zion way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A.R.P., come down and hold the mic and say
[A.R.P. (Beenie Man):]
I've got heaven right here on earth (I really do)
I've got heaven right here on earth (yes, yes, yes, I and I and I)
I've got heaven right here on earth (hey, and could I hear you say?)
Heaven right here on earth (wow now!)
(Give it to them one more time)
I've got heaven right here on earth (oh, glorious be to the Most High)
I've got heaven right here on earth (oooh woo woo woo woo)
I've got heaven right here on earth (and could I hear you say?!)
Heaven right here on earth (Ooh hey! Oooh wha'! she!)
Oh, I believe I can-
Cease, play the music please
While the youth-man dem inna the ghetto blowing out like breeze, yo
Where am I supposed to put my shoes
When Christianity and government got this whole world confused
Or, who are they to say, 2Pac shot Biggie
Or Biggie Smalls shot 2Pac, this world is getting crazy, well
My belief, my overstand
That the two of them were killed by two crazed fans
If you don't believe, ask John and Anne
A.R.P.
[A.R.P. (Beenie Man):]
I've got heaven right here on earth (A.R.P., A.R.P., sing for me, yeah!)
I've got heaven right here on earth (oooh I, tell them again and again and again)
I've got heaven right here on earth (and could I hear you say?!)
Heaven right here on earth (could I hear you say?!)
It's right here I sight it
Behold, it's so good, and how pleasant it is for brethren and brethren to dwell together in precious I-nity
It's like a precious I-tment come from the head to the beard
Even Aaron's beard, that went down to the skirts of his garments
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion
Where King Selassie I commanded the blessing, even life for evermore
Jah!
