c.l. smooth - heaven is watching you lyrics
[intro: woman & peabo bryson]
lookin’ over your shoulder
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you, you
don’t you know that, you
[verse 1]
would mama put a man over you? said she need her life too
with no lights on, and the rent’s due
how a child know life ain’t fair? when his daddy’s not there
make ’em feel it’s their fault and swear
strange voices, you hear mama laugh and glass shatter
“what happened? you still hungry and can’t sleep?”
just grown folk trippin’, peep and get caught, catch a whippin’ never think is their baby up and listen
some late nights, you can hear screams in the hallways
walkin’ through the dealer in the dice games all day
mama got a attitude, bummin’ for a cigarеtte
all up in the neighbor’s еar, little sister’s pants wet
weekends you see us go to grandma’s house
and on sunday’s, she would take us to the lord’s house
where they taught you to pray, how to find your way
what’cha mama’s mama tell you every day?
[chorus: woman & peabo bryson]
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
that he knows that your shoulder’s a tack, and to hold you
you’re blessed, and to hold them because
heaven’s watchin’ you
and he knows your name, so exchange the pain for his love
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
it’s all for, you, you, heaven’s watchin’ you
you can carry on and know, that it’s watchin’ you
carry on, don’t you know that, you
[verse 2]
send troops to war to fight for their country
it’s all about politics, it’s all about money
losin’ legs, arms, and eyes, and soldiers all blown up
the people see it, don’t affect the gas prices goin’ up
the rich get richer, the poor scr+pe and bow
and the old people can’t afford their medicine now
see ’em all the drop the ball and cause racial beef
then watch people die with no disaster relief
it hurts me like 9/11 what real life potrays
the good books that we’re livin’ in the last days
god’s son died for us, for mankind’s ungrateful
between the guns and drugs, straight hateful
and all those trips to sp+ce and all the missile practices
knockin’ the earth off its axis
with no cure for aids, no cure for cancer
and only god has the answer
[chorus: woman & peabo bryson]
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
that he knows that your shoulder’s a tack, and to hold you
you’re blessed, and to hold them because
heaven’s watchin’ you
and he knows your name, so exchange the pain for his love
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
it’s all for, you, you, heaven’s watchin’ you
you can carry on and know, that it’s watchin’ you
carry on, don’t you know that, you
[verse 3]
who’s my guidin’ light? when they test my faith
to send me down a path they know is not safe
try to wish that pain on me, see the strain on me
but i could see it like slow motion
only healin’ with emotion’, my bein’ is spirtual
accentuate the positive, only way i’m feelin’ you
accept no lies from me, i’m cleanse my soul
who’s watchin’ over me? the streets are old
[chorus: woman & peabo bryson]
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
that he knows that your shoulder’s a tack, and to hold you
you’re blessed, and to hold them because
heaven’s watchin’ you
and he knows your name, so exchange the pain for his love
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
it’s all for, you, you, heaven’s watchin’ you
you can carry on, that it’s watchin’ you
[outro: woman & peabo bryson]
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
heaven’s watchin’ you, yeah, yeah
heaven’s watchin’ you
he knows your name, yeah, yeah
don’t you know that heaven’s watchin’ you
