K-Rino - Heaven and Hell lyrics
[K-Rino - Heaven and Hell lyrics]
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us that
Heaven and Hell were not places
They were conditions
You can have your Heaven or your Hell
Right here now while you on Earth
You don't have to wait for a
Big day of judgement in
The sky to either get Heaven or go to Hell
You live today in the day of judgement
Every decision that you make put you either
Closer to Heaven or closer to Hell
Is that right?
Good decisions bring us closer to Heaven
Bad decisions bring us closer to Hell
Let's present the case
Our whole life we've been faced
With the false misconception that
Heaven is a place that exists beyond space
(where?) high up in the sky
And the spirit's of the good
Go there after they die
But really, that lie has deceived us severely
'Cause it's clearly a few obvious
Holes in that theory it's foolish
Thinking each person I lost and loved dearly
And everyone up there can look down
See me and hear me
The soul leaves the body so
Any form is spiritual
Yet every description given of
Heaven is material the gates that you enter
Every story that's told
Speaks boldly of milk-and-honey and
Streets made of gold
Young, middle-aged to old
Billions of passed souls
This one singular place is
Somehow able to hold
Generations have added new
Layers of information
Discrepancies exist on it's actual location
Depicted visualizations
But no wheres or hows
If you ask someone where is Heaven
They'll point up to the clouds
But that concept is something
That physics won't allow
If you don't know what I mean
I'll explain to you now
See the Earth been out in
The Universe since it begun
And as it rotates
It also makes trips around the Sun
So if you stand up and point into space
Do it again in twelve hours
You'll be pointing to whole other place
The planet's moving so listen to this
What you thought was up is down now
Because the Earth's position is switched
The enemy tricked us and made us to bow
Told us we would have our Heaven later
While he was enjoying his now
So the question that I'm posing is 'Why?'
If Heaven's better than where we are
How come nobody's rushing to die?
'Cause when you die, it's over
No life replacement to give
You resist gravity 'cause it's in
Your nature to live, yeah
Where is Heaven? Where is Hell?
How many people you know have
Came back to tell? For truth to come
You have to gain facts as well
The myth they told then is
The same that prevails
When they teach about Hell
We've always learned of a place where the
Evil people eternally burn
But some people would argue with you greatly
That this place that we call Heaven can't
Be worse than what they experience daily
The preacher used to run the sermon down
And expound on the never-ending flames
That existed under the ground
We believed when they told us this
Place beneath the Earth is
Actually ten times hot as the Sun's surface
But this goes beyond logic's parameters
'Cause the Earth's approximately eight
Thousand miles in diameter
So how can ten times that
Much heat be in existence
And not burn the planet from
Only half that distance?
The whole idea sparks many questions
Why would God let you burn forever
Off a few years of transgressions?
They say that suicide is the truest
Way to go to Hell and though many knew it
Somehow they still do it
And no physically dead would be risen
'Cause like Heaven, hell is a state of being
You witness while livin'
And it won't be any bottomless pit to fall in
'Cause Lucifer's Satan and the
Devil are all men many story lines vary
Some believe that people who died are gonna
Be raised up from the cemetery
Why would God resurrect all the
Wicked women and men
Who supposed to be in Hell already
And then judge them again?
You feed me falsehood and the
Purpose was to defect me
You read the scriptures
But, you interpret it incorrectly
Concepts taught inaccurately
So for it to actually be
Science and nature have to agree
Where is Heaven? Where is Hell?
How many people you know have
Came back to tell? For truth to come
You have to gain facts as well
The myth they told then is
The same that prevails
"A baby's born into the world
You're in an emotional Heaven
Someone that you love dies
You in emotional Hell
Am I telling the truth?
If you have the ability to
Memorize everything you see
You in a mental Heaven
But, if you're addicted to crack cocaine
You in a mental Hell if you're handicapped
You could be in a physical Hell
But, if you have full athletic ability
You can be in a physical Heaven
Heaven and Hell are NOT places
They are conditions of life
You been knowing it before a
Reverend messed you up
You been knowing it before the
Theological seminary messed him up
They been knowing it before the
Slave master messed them up
And the slave master knew it
Before Yakub taught him
Heaven and Hell were not places
They were conditions
You can have your Heaven or your Hell
Right here now while you on Earth
You don't have to wait for a
Big day of judgement in
The sky to either get Heaven or go to Hell
You live today in the day of judgement
Every decision that you make put you either
Closer to Heaven or closer to Hell

Bad decisions bring us closer to Hell
