The Coup

The Coup - Heven Tonite lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

Preacher man wanna save my soul

Don't nobody wanna save my life

People we done lost control

Let's make heaven tonite

Preacher man wanna save my soul

Don't nobody wanna save my life

People we done lost control

Let's make heaven tonite

Now as I sleep may the oxygen inflate my lungs

May my arteries and heart oscillate as one

If police come may I awake escape and run

In the morning may I have the sake to scrape the funds

And if I take the plunge

May it be said that I wasn't afraid to shake my tongue

Show the state was scum

Makin' sure that the callin' bell of fate was rung

Cuz if they could the would

And probly tried to

Rape the sun

Someone said that this is just my body

Wait for the Afterpary

Where ain't no shut-off note

And every wallet there is knotty

Feet are on the asphalt

Dick in the dirt

This system take vickin' to work

Listen alert

Check out the introvert

In the corner with the rip in her skirt

Stomach pains so she grippin' her shirt

Ain't never had dinner

So she know she ain't gettin' dessert

Don't try to tell me it's her mission to hurt

I got faith in the people and they power to fight

We gon make the struggle blossom

Like a flower to light

I know that we could take power tonight

Make 'em cower from might

And get emergency clearance from the tower for flight

I ain't sittin in your pews less you helpin' me resist and refuse

Show me a list of your views

If you really love me

Help me tear this muthafucka up

Consider this my tithe for the offer cup

[Chorus]

I used to think about infinity

And how my memory is finna be

Invisibly slim in that vicinity

And though the stars are magnificent

Whisky and the midnight sky can make you feel insignificant

The revolution in this tune and verse

Is a bid for my love to touch the universe

Strugglin' over wages and funds

Let the movement get contagious and run

Through the end when it's gauges and guns

And if we win in the ages to come

We'll have a chapter where the history pages are from

They won't never know our name or face

But feel our soul in free food they taste

Feel our passion when they heat they house

When they got power on the streets

And the police don't beat 'em about

Let's make health care centers on every block

Let's give everybody homes and a garden plot

Let's give all the schools books

Ten kids a class

And give 'em truth for their pencils and pads

Retail clerk - "love ballads" where you place this song

Let's make heaven right here

Just in case they wrong
