Brother Ali, A.R.M. - Heaven Only Knows lyrics

"Heaven only knows, yeah"

Ayo 'Fest manifest these dudes is
Killing me man for real
Man listen they were not there
When I struggled not
At all all of them crept out of the woodwork
When it looked like I was getting on right?
(Aye it's Kruk) And then they all just
Decided to leave me hanging again (Who's
Kruk?) When it looked like I was
Still struggling can you believe that?
And now they are mad because
I'm finally getting on
Like really getting on
And I don't feel like inviting them
To the party lord knows, it it feel likeman

They got me walking on water
Spitting through the fire
They saying that I'm ill
They singing to the choir
It don't mean I'm humble just
Because I kept silent
I've been knowing I'm nice
Y'all just started recognizing
But now there's a problem
I feel like it's getting to my head
Cause I'm getting that respect then
I get a little bread
And the things that should worry
Me I never really sweat
Like the fact I got a
Whole continent to represent
And these shows I be killing
Got the girls catching feelings
Till I'm starting to believe that
I'm really that appealing
My head's growing and it's getting
Harder to conceal it
My feel are off the ground
Feel like I ain't got a center
Feel like there's way less family
And way more friends
With burdens expecting me to take
The weight off them
Having way less dollars made way more cents
Sense when I struggled alone
Like where was y'all then?

Lord knows I've struggled
Lord knows I've pushed
Heaven only knows how long this all took
Look, friends from my foes it's
Hard to tell apart
Cause Heaven only knows who was
Here from the start lord knows
Heaven alone knows

"Heaven alone knows, yeah"

Ayo Kruk bredren i remember when they
Didn't want to on me
Man real story they thought I
Was broke and lonely
No one invited me out when I
Tried to hand some ladies so
Fliers they fronted like "Yo who is this guy
Over here?" now they in the front row
Trying to give rappers dap
Just showing respect then
Look away like I was a nobody
Like I was some African bum now they
Hit me on Myspace daily like "Can
We do a song?" It funny to
Me how things change though really

You see I already walked on water
And been through the wire
If you hate on what I'm doing
That's fuel for my fire
I've been getting props since
Back in 1st grade
When life gave me lemons, I squeeze lemonade
So now I'm getting press
Everybody on my nuts
And my ego getting large
Gotta keep the man in check
I gotta stay humble and be on my grizzily
It's hard cause all of a
Sudden everybody missing me
Only a few years ago they were dismissing me
Now they got my songs on repeat like history
Need it for this energy
I'm music I'm movement
Attention from the women makes
It even more confusing
When I was broke, my words were a nuisance
Now I'm getting bills so they
All want my two cents
I see how it is, the nature of the biz
But Heaven only knows
I deserve more for being poor

Lords knows I struggled, knows I tried
Heaven only knows the pain in my eyes
Rain and the snow, the stress and hard times
Cause Heaven only knows I hustle for my shine
Lord knows heaven only knows

I remember back in the day
Nobody wanna hear me
Now they all eagerly hitting me up daily
They said that I made it
But I tell them "Barely"
That's why I sleep late and wake up early

Yeah Heaven only knows

How could you be expected
To expect something?
The matter of the fact is
You ain't did nothing
I don't mean to patronize jerks
But it ain't about real, work recognize work
Uh life is cause and effect
Now how do you connect all
That crying to this shit? Dawg
Ain't you tired of it yet?
Talking all out of your neck
And lying on your sweat check
If you decide to sit
Then what they decide to bring you
Is all you're gonna get take notes
That's the way it goes
Your mouth say you're hot but
Your feet stay froze
Definition of the word "broke"
If this don't work so I ain't got no
And we don't wear coats that got tails
So you're gonna have to hitch
A ride with someone else

"Heaven only knows, yeah"
"Heaven only knows, yeah"
