I walked, I stumbled
So I ran away from heaven
And I cried when I first killed
But now I pay debts for my living
And I know, and I know
The hip -hop is calling me home
And I know, the dance floor
is threatening to burn
Over and over and over we go
But the rain still comes
and the storm still blows
There's tea and salvation,
a warm bed for those
Who do what they're told
and keep their mouths closed
And I came, and I conquered,
but it was me I left in ruins
And I raised, and I sponsored,
but I danced to my own tunes
And I know, and I know,
the hip -hop is calling me home
And I know, the dance floor
is threatening to fall
And I know,
the sun is too hot for my soul
But I'll tell you now what my mama told me
In this old world there's an invisible sea
It crushes down mountains,
unleashes its scorn
On the devils who mock it
or their pure unborn
There's another world under your feet
It's al ways been there
since there wasn't a street
It's the heart of your heart
if you like it or not
So be good to the world,
it's your only best shot
It's the heart of your heart
and it gives gives you your life
So be good to this world
You'll be doing alright
It's the heart of your heart
It gives you your life
Woman, treat it like your husband
Man, don't treat it like your wife you
