[Verse 1] I came up on the block Where the cold wind cuts Had a broke-down watch And a pocket full of dust Mama said, "Keep your head" So I kept mine low Now my name ring out When the chrome rims roll I seen fake love fold Like a cheap card trick Seen a good man change For a little stash quick Still I walk that line With a brick-wall grin If you ask me twice I don't fold, I win [Pre-Chorus] Hands to the sky What you chasing for? Gold on the tongue But it don't heal more One wrong step And the floor breaks loud I been asking that Since I left that crowd [Chorus] DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up) DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (I gotta know) If I climb too high Will I see that door? DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up) [Verse 2] Late-night drives With a prayer in the seat No saint, no suit Just mud on my sneaks Got a scar on my jaw From a deal gone bad And a grin so hard It could make you mad I heard church bells chime By the loading dock Sounded just like hope When the world stood locked I been rich in pain I been poor in pride Tried to buy me peace But it slid each time [Pre-Chorus] Hands to the sky What you chasing for? Gold on the tongue But it don't heal more One wrong step And the floor breaks loud I been asking that Since I left that crowd [Chorus] DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up) DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (I gotta know) If I climb too high Will I see that door? DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up) [Bridge] Tell me, is it far? Or right in my chest? Is it in the hands Of the ones I left? I don't need a crown I just need some light If the top is gone Then I'm done with heights [Chorus] DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up) DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (I gotta know) If I climb too high Will I see that door? DO YOU THINK HEAVEN IS UP (Up, up, up)
