HEAVEN TO ME Lyrics

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
(Heaven only knows)
That's heaven to me, yeah
What's heaven to you? Yeah
That's heaven to me, yeah
What's heaven to you, to y'all?
Because that's heaven to me, aw-aw
(You gotta love it)

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
The lake water gettin' warmer from the radiant sun
My baby mama and my daughter gettin' chased by my son
The water gun is in his arms, that lil' nigga could run

He get it from his daddy side, you know, them Nigerians
My mama pulled up in a helicopter
Sister in the kitchen cookin', Jackson mixin' vodka
After dinner, I'll convince 'em they should babysit 'em
Me and wifey gettin' ready to go see a opera (Sydney)
This the house we come to when we got nothin' to do
The big yard, quaint size with the immaculate view
My boat dock got a yacht with a slide on the side
My son and I got some bikes we could ride, I'll show him how to wheelie
And Wally hit my celly, we cleared another dealy
It's no contingency, the number's in the hundred milly's (Woo-hoo-hoo)
I'm in my fourties lookin' twenty-somethin' (Yeah)
I don't ask for nothin' (Nothin')
Everything is mwah, that's heaven for a God
My health is on a hundred, you feel me? Yeah
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
(Skin glowin')
That's heaven to me, yeah
What's heaven to you?
That's really heaven at forty, like, nigga havin' good health?
What's heaven to you, to y'all?
Because that's heaven
This, this was heaven, this was heaven at, like, as a kid

[Verse 3: Tyler, The Creator]

It used to be the 'preme hat in the green
The cheetah print on the tee, the dark wash on the jean
Soccer mom with the Vans in every color it seems
Kids push down the block, cuttin' Dickies into shorts when it's hot
Fuckin' Wendy's up, brainstormin' ways to get our pennies up
Me and Jasper spendin' last bucks on the city bus

Wayne tapes and Vice mags and Portishead drops
Peglegs, Ice Cream shoes, the Mr. Krabs watch
That was heaven for me 'round time seventeen
Eggin' niggas' houses, fuckin' girls from Pasadena
Bastard wasn't finished, I was formin' up a team
I didn't have much, but for certain, I had a dream

[Gibberish]
I fuck the flow up, fuck it, I bring it back like the hairline was recedin'
[Gibberish]
(Hey, woo, woo, haha)

Tyler accounts fond memories and ideas he’s had in his lifetime. From the old Odd Future days to his newer expeditions out of Cali. All of this is heaven to him.

The song is sampled from “Heaven” by John Legend.
