I'll be in my room comprehending my own life In between the thoughts of my own dead mind I'd still find it better to stay high on more life And if I come up first, I know I'll just finish last Being stagnant as a prayer of person who won't take a chance Just to switch up on my own perspective, seeing the first Shall be last, the last shall be first, I hope I finish like that More on the latter-er Even fools try to skip a few steps to Heaven But we all have to climb the ladder, Not on these false prophets, men not allowed in God's capital But tell me what's your real stature, or does nothing really matter Like you been facing your own battles, but really your just battered The sin with laughter, a recipe for disaster While the Devil has an appetite for destruction You're too busy filling up his plate, serving him like he was your master You probably use the salt of your life just give his bowl extra flavour And would act surprised when God spits you out Saying you lost your flavour You'll probably be crying, claiming God must have his favourite But what's the favour to a favourite, when we were all created so different, assigned to a nation Still you do yourself the favour of debating Whether or not there's a heaven, whether or not your soul needs saving We feel it more important to save ourselves on preserving a golden life Trying to tick what's more important in life on trying to live on the spoils that spoil your mind And at the end of your life you'll feel the regret of your rhetorical question Of how there's no golden ticket to Heaven

No golden ticket to Heaven
I'll be in my room comprehending my own life In between the thoughts of my own dead mind I'd still find it better to stay high on more life And if I come up first, I know I'll just finish last Being stagnant as a prayer of person who won't take a chance Just to switch up on my own perspective, seeing the first Shall be last, the last shall be first, I hope I finish like that More on the latter-er Even fools try to skip a few steps to Heaven But we all have to climb the ladder, Not on these false prophets, men not allowed in God's capital But tell me what's your real stature, or does nothing really matter Like you been facing your own battles, but really your just battered The sin with laughter, a recipe for disaster While the Devil has an appetite for destruction You're too busy filling up his plate, serving him like he was your master You probably use the salt of your life just give his bowl extra flavour And would act surprised when God spits you out Saying you lost your flavour You'll probably be crying, claiming God must have his favourite But what's the favour to a favourite, when we were all created so different, assigned to a nation Still you do yourself the favour of debating Whether or not there's a heaven, whether or not your soul needs saving We feel it more important to save ourselves on preserving a golden life Trying to tick what's more important in life on trying to live on the spoils that spoil your mind And at the end of your life you'll feel the regret of your rhetorical question Of how there's no golden ticket to Heaven
