there is no shortcut to heaven
you have to go through hell
to get there
you may think that
you want to change by
turning over a new leaf
that leaf will turn from fresh green
to crispy brown
every thing around you
will crumble and fall apart
everybody you try to love will
continuously break your heart
the closer you try to get to God
the distance will seem worlds apart
you will lose everything
by death or theft though you may
try to hold on there will be no one
and nothing left
you will struggle so much
you'll be out of breath
you will suffer so much on your
journey like you never left
you will curse the day
your mother had you
feeling like God forgot you
you will try your best to win
but you will often lose
asking God why, why God
I'm just trying to make it through
not being able to understand
how come certain doors close on you
you will be overwhelmed and drowning
in humiliation people will move away from
you like you have the plague
and treat you like you have a disease
change is work and it's going to hurt
the truth is it's not sweet
you can't sugar coat it
to make the pill easier to swallow
to keep it real it's going to feel
like you got hit in the head
with an anvil
so it best to have some advil
everything believe me everything
that can possibly go wrong will
you will feel like turning around
and going back
though some do, don't do that
why? because eventually you
will have to start all over again
returning to places and going through
things that you've already gone through
cry, oh yes my friend you will cry
like somebody you love died
you will become so sick and tired of
yourself that you won't be able
to stand your self you will find yourself
hopeless, helpless, homeless or on the verge
join forces with the devil
you will want to merge
you may even become addicted
to a controlled substance
trying to calm your nerves
you will feel so low depression
will follow you where ever you go
you've had enough feel like giving up
you say whats the use in trying
thinking that you would be better off dying
then you remember when you were in
the den and God shut the jaws of the lion
you were in the furnace but never cremated
you start to see all the places
you start to see all the times that you
could have been destroyed
I mean taken out but you made it
how? then you smile realizing how close
you came to giving up
knowing you can go another mile
look at you, you have been succeeding
all the while then you understand
that you will never go to heaven
because you're already there
