Lyrics excerpted from UGK's "Heaven"
[Chorus: Pimp C]
I wonder if it's a heaven up there for real G's ,
For all the n***** in the game that be sellin cheese
I wonder if it's a heaven up there for real G's
For all the n******in the game, in the game -
One foot in the street, got one foot in the pen
[Bun B]Got me wonderin if it's a heaven for them d-boys
Cause if it is then I better get on my knees boy
[Pimp C]I got cheese boy, I'm sellin n***** sneeze boy
I'm playin in the candy torture rim with TV's like my Roy
[Bun B]I'm wonderin if it's a heaven for MC's
Like the Freaky Tah's, the Big L's and B.I.G.'s
[Pimp C]I wonder if they got a heaven for the convicts N***** doin life,
I saw old men in that bitch
[Bun B]I wish today that the Lord take me away
I'd get to see my old man and I wonder what he would say
[Pimp C]I feel that, I miss Munroe too
If I could bring him back I'd give up all this s*** fool
[Bun B]But on the cool you know what else I hope is trueThey got a heaven for me and got a heaven for you, too
RIP Pimp C, maybe there is "a heaven for a G"
