Eminem – Leaving Heaven Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:4 Minute, 39 Second

Yeah I knew this day was coming
Sometimes, you gotta come back down its all going to hell now, man
Stoop to someones level yeah

Five dozen, flies buzzin over your head
Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin
Youre dead to me now and Ima be the last face you see
Fore you die cussin yep
My eye a tigers and Im a survivor so I will rise up and what?
Be triumphant cause when Im looking at my legacy leg, I see

Bunch of dogs tryna dry hump it
Like Triumph The Puppet, so Im like, Fuck it
Pile the carnage up til its so high, its touching the sky
Let em all line up and attack
Single filing up in the stack
Call em toy soldiers yeah
Cause they just wind up on their backs
Now the skys nothing but black

But I am not coming back, I done told ya
I told the woke me to go to sleep
But still, they keep on provoking me
Theyre hoping to see me completely broken emotionally
But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke
When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now

Im leaving Heaven
Im leaving Heaven
Angels wont find me
Where I am going

Ive been down, kicked
Like around six thousand times since I was a kid
As a child, picked on, clowned
Countless times Ive been doubted
Gotta remind myself of it every now and then yeah
So the route I wents self-empowerment
In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it
And balance it with talents, wit

Cause life is like a penny life is like a penny
Cause its only one percent
Who overcome the shit theyve underwent
I went AWOL like what my back was up against

Dont tell me bout struggle, bitch, I lived it
I was five or six the first time I got my hind end kicked
Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle
And I dont know if I would call that white privilege, yeah
But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment
Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks

But I swore Id get them back
Even if it meant selling my soul to get my revenge and what?
Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking
If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it
Thats part of the reason I do all my talking with ink
And as long as Im breathing I vow to smother and beat them
My God, what a heart of a demon, go at em and Ima get even
Like Im in the Garden of Eden, Im bout to go off of the deep end
This evil is calling, Im already seething and

Im leaving Heaven
Im leaving Heaven
Angels wont find me
Where I am going

Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat yeah
I was getting my ass beat twice a week what?
Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
Flippin sofa cushions over just tryin to see
If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
If Denaun and me find a couple of dimes a piece
25 cents eachd get us a bag of chips
Wed be glad to get that even we if we had to split

Wed do backward flips, looking back at it
I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit
Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit
Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit
Yeah, which brings me back to the dear ol dad that I zero had
Since a year-old, 47-year-old scab
Just to hear them words, ear-piercing
Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring

Should I feel upset? You were dead to me fore you died
Me? Tear no shed
Should I have made a mural at your funeral?
Had your coffin draped with a heros flag?
Where the fuck you were at
When DeAngelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande?

Never met your grandkids, fucking coward
Only gut you had was from your stomach fat
I couldnt see your ass going to Heaven
So Im asking for a pass to go to Hell
So I can whip your fucking ass
I hate that Ill never get to say, I hate you, to your face
No coming back from where Im going
Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel
Dig with the blade of it then I step on the metal
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil

Im leaving Heaven yeah
Im leaving Heaven you know, I should dig your motherfucking ass up
Angels wont find me just to spit in your fucking face
Where I am going
Holding my baby pictures up like youre proud of me

Im leaving heaven fuck you, bitch
Im leaving heaven you know what? Maybe if I had had you
Angels wont find me I wouldnt have went through half the shit I went through
So I blame you
Where I am going or maybe I should say, thank you
Cause I wouldnt have been me

So you better, you better run yeah
You better, you better run so Ima let it go now, rest in peace
You better, you better run cocksucker
You better, you better run haha, see you in Hell
