Blu - Pearly Gates lyrics

Ay, One for Dilla, Two for Proof
Three for ODB
Five for Aunty Crystal, Six For Aunty Walker
Seven for Heaven cause the list goes on
I hope I make it to the pearly
Gates the day my name is drawn
Buck a shot for Big and Pac, Scott La Rock
And Eazy-Z
One for Left-Eye, Aaliyah, and Big-L
Rest in peace
Farewell to the deceased because
The list goes on
I hope I make it to the pearly
Gates the day my name is drawn

John Barnes
Born poor but I still wore Jordans
My mamma slaved just to make
Us look a bit important
She couldn't raise us Christian cause
My pops was pimpin'
So she flipped the script
And married a reverend, kevin Cain
Hated his name
And the way that he would preach
Made me sing in the choir
And couldn't listen to no beats fuck 'em
I would visit my cousin and
Bang nothin' but Hip-Hop cusin' and all
'til that one time I got caught
It was when Biggie Smalls said
"Coogi down to the socks"
He thought it said "Coochie
Down to the socks" blaw, got socked
Dropped my sister out my arms
He bought me Kirk Franklin for Christmas
And said it was the bomb

And then my mom made me read this Jesus book
A little bread a couple fish
Didn't need no hooks
Funny, these dummies mention him
And seem so shook
But uhm, we don't believe you
You need more crooks i was, clean as a cook
Now I'm hooked to all kinds of shit
Used to laugh when I'd
Break my grandma's cigarettes
Her daughter picked the habit up when
She was just a teen
So I lost my Aunty Crystal
This year from nicotine
And now I smoke packs of tobacco
And can't even get clean
Kinda, sorta alcoholic and can't
Even quick weed i tried E times three
Now I'm trying to find peace
I just hope the doors open when
It's time for me to leave

Ay, One for Pun, Two for Perry, Three for JMJ
Five for Mac Dre, Six For Professor X
Seven for Heaven cause the list goes on
I hope I make it to the pearly
Gates the day my name is drawn
Keep your lighters up for Dusk one time
Two for Poetic
Let it bang again for Freaky Tah
I hope I make it to the pearly
Gates the day my name is drawn
