Generate meaning
1
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
2
And open doors to hurting people like me
3
People like me
4
Is it fair to say that I am stressing out
5
I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out
6
My homeys said I was stupid for even joining
7
My counselor said that my decision was disappointing
8
How she had good for good state colleges
9
And with my good grades it wouldn't have been a problem
10
But they don't understand the power of significance
11
More than brilliance and certainly more than difference
12
And if you ask me now would I repeat it
13
Would I fight in a war I don't believe in
14
Well the answer is if not me where the cancer is
15
They been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth
16
And after all this time it is still deadly hazardous
17
And bush isn't really being all that inaccurate
18
When he says we're winning the war cos its staggering
19
But that's cause we're killing everybody that we see
20
And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep
21
And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent
22
Cos my women back home, we're constantly arguing
23
And I must be crazy cos all I'm obsessing with is
24
Her Myspace and Facebook and who's commenting
25
I swear to god if she's cheatin' I'm doing her ass in
26
I can tell with one look and it came to me
27
Sounding like something from a song hook
28
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
29
And open doors to hurting people like me
30

31
Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young Sebastian
32
Suburban professional went to college in shton
33
In self pity she suddenly cried
34
Would my life be important if I suddenly died?
35
Neighbors saying what a nice women she was
36
Keeping mostly to herself ever since the divorce
37
And with the company downsizing and the fall and all
38
She really shouldn't take it that personal at all
39
It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on her thighs
40
And got a rise from her rising off the desk though
41
And despite remembering saying no plenty of times
42
It was still a damn surprise being let go
43
And now stuck with a mortgage she cant afford
44
And too educated to blame the corporate world
45
She got on welfare and hated it case work a power tripping
46
And generally being degraded if
47
Nothing else she was treated sick
48
And ineffective which is the worst thing
49
That she'd been left with
50
Damn, no magic from David Blane
51
No painter to pain this pain
52
No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame
53
So she took refuge and prayer
54
Kinda like finding god in the phone book
55
And it came to her sounding something like a song hook
56
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
57
And open doors to hurting people like me
58
People like me
59
I guess I told you about myself to a degree
60
Just by telling you about people like me
61
But people like me they speak politely
62
They don't start no beef or peace
63
Everybody gotta eat but everybody doesn't
64
Which is why I want to tell you about my favorite cousin
65
He and I grew up where the sun shines
66
And we both partook with the gun crimes
67
And we both liked American rap rhymes
68
Even though we didn't understand one line
69
If you remember my line of notes in my last album
70
I talked about a close call with a grenade
71
I think we both must have been about 7th grade
72
But don't panic we both survived without damage
73
But we developed a bond like we survived the titanic
74
But when the country became frantic
75
My mother tried to get us out, planned it
76
To the last detail except the plan got derailed
77
Cos there wasn't enough money for the plain tickets
78
How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her
79
So my cousin got left in the war and that's just hard to recall
80
But now I take refuge and prayer
81
Kinda like finding god in the phone book
82
It came to me sounding kinda like something from a song hook
83
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
84
And open doors to hurting people like me
85
People like me
86
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
87
And open doors to hurting people like me
88
People like me
