ONE.BE.LO - Hip Hop Heaven lyrics

rate me

{"So think twice before you step... "}

Yo, yo, last night it was dead

I feel asleep early, woke up this mornin right side of the bed

The rest of the fam was sleep, I didn't want to wake 'em

I'm in the mood for makin some music and so I hit the basement

When it comes to writin this song, I'm not as patient

More like a doctor performin a operation

In this particular day, I'm hearin dope beats

The lyrics was steady comin, combination so sweet

I'm not tryin to eat so I skip breakfast

I'm in a zone like Jordan when the clock ticks seconds

Two songs later, One Be Lo is gettin hotter

Than thermometers and monitors, I'm just gettin started

I hear the kids upstairs, they didn't even bother

To interrupt they father cause they know that I'm an artist

And I be workin harder than most, I got a daughter that boast

They learn a lot, cause they follow me close

Still early, it's 10:30, I tried to call Majestic

His phone didn't ring, I didn't leave a message

I need to keep writin so I didn't even stress it

I finished another record, I'm in hip-hop heaven

Yeah, record pace I was runnin through the pages

Of my notepad, excited but my heart ain't even racin

Progress I was makin in the best time

Workin like I'm gettin closer to my deadline

I guess it's just another day in the life of One Be Lo

Five hours of work, an hour's worth of material

Like what I'm hearin so I'm turnin up the stereo

Neighbors usually complain, the noise was unbearable

But somethin about today was different

Everybody was doin they own thing, can't wait to give 'em this shit

I'm feelin so alive, thank God for the blessin

Heart and soul of my profession give you hip-hop heaven

A-a-a-and now it's time to switch directions, I end the session

My young ones, usually by now they're gettin restless

I float upstairs, they face is glued to the TV

I walked to the kitchen, guess they didn't even see me

I wasn't even lookin for a meal anyway

Kinda strange cause I didn't drink or eat all day

In the sound booth standin on my feet all day

I'm dead tired now, maybe I should sleep all day

On my way to the room, I hear my lady on the phone

She moan, cryin and dyin inside, feelin alone

Almost finished packin, said she gotta get goin

Need a change and she can no longer live in this home

I stand lookin confused, with boxes before me

I called her name three times, she only ignored me

She held a newspaper in her hands, it read

"Local rapper, One Be Lo, age 30, found dead"

I'm in hip-hop heaven
