Heaven and Hell - K Rino

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to us that Heaven and Hell were not places

They were conditions

You can have your Heaven or your Hell right here now while you on Earth

You don’t have to wait for a big day of judgement in the sky to either get

Heaven or go to Hell

You live today in the day of judgement

Every decision that you make put you either closer to Heaven or closer to Hell

Is that right?

Good decisions bring us closer to Heaven

Bad decisions bring us closer to Hell

Let’s present the case, our whole life we’ve been faced

With the false misconception that Heaven is a place

That exists beyond space (where?) high up in the sky

And the spirits of the good go there after they die

But really, that lie has deceived us severely

'Cause it’s clearly a few obvious holes in that theory

It’s foolish, thinking each person I lost and loved dearly

And everyone up there can look down, see me and hear me

The soul leaves the body so any form is spiritual

Yet every description given of Heaven is material

The gates that you enter, every story that’s told

Speaks boldly of milk-and-honey and streets made of gold

Young, middle-aged to old, billions of passed souls

This one singular place is somehow able to hold

Generations have added new layers of information

Discrepancies exist on its actual location

Depicted visualizations, but no wheres or hows

If you ask someone where is Heaven, they’ll point up to the clouds

But that concept is something that physics won’t allow

If you don’t know what I mean, I’ll explain to you now

See the Earth been out in the Universe since it begun

And as it rotates, it also makes trips around the Sun

So if you stand up and point into space

Do it again in twelve hours, you’ll be pointing to whole other place

The planet’s moving so listen to this

What you thought was up is down now because the Earth’s position is switched

The enemy tricked us and made us to bow

Told us we would have our Heaven later while he was enjoying his now

So the question that I’m posing is 'Why?'

If Heaven’s better than where we are, how come nobody’s rushing to die?

'Cause when you die, it’s over, no life replacement to give

You resist gravity 'cause it’s in your nature to live, yeah

Where is Heaven?

Where is Hell?

How many people you know have came back to tell?

For truth to come, you have to gain facts as well

The myth they told then is the same that prevails

When they teach about Hell, we’ve always learned

Of a place where the evil people eternally burn

But some people would argue with you greatly

That this place that we call Heaven can’t be worse than what they experience

daily

The preacher used to run the sermon down

And expound on the never-ending flames that existed under the ground

We believed when they told us this place beneath the Earth is

Actually ten times hot as the Sun’s surface

But this goes beyond logic’s parameters

'Cause the Earth’s approximately eight thousand miles in diameter

So how can ten times that much heat be in existence

And not burn the planet from only half that distance?

The whole idea sparks many questions

Why would God let you burn forever off a few years of transgressions?

They say that suicide is the truest way to go to Hell

And though many knew it, somehow they still do it

And no physically dead would be risen

'Cause like Heaven, Hell is a state of being you witness while livin'

And it won’t be any bottomless pit to fall in

'Cause Lucifer’s Satan and the Devil are all men

Many story lines vary

Some believe that people who died are gonna be raised up from the cemetery

Why would God resurrect all the wicked women and men

Who supposed to be in Hell already and then judge them again?

You feed me falsehood and the purpose was to defect me

You read the scriptures, but you interpret it incorrectly

Concepts taught inaccurately

So for it to actually be, science and nature have to agree

Where is Heaven?

Where is Hell?

How many people you know have came back to tell?

For truth to come, you have to gain facts as well

The myth they told then is the same that prevails

(Outro: Brother Nuri Muhammad)

«A baby’s born into the world, you’re in an emotional Heaven

Someone that you love dies, you in emotional Hell

Am I telling the truth?

If you have the ability to memorize everything you see, you in a mental Heaven

But if you’re addicted to crack cocaine, you in a mental Hell

If you’re handicapped, you could be in a physical Hell

But if you have full athletic ability, you can be in a physical Heaven

Heaven and Hell are NOT places

They are conditions of life

You been knowing it before a reverend messed you up

You been knowing it before the theological seminary messed him up

They been knowing it before the slave-master messed them up

And the slave-master knew it before Yakub taught him
