Heaven and Hell Lyrics – Kanye West
Heaven and Hell Lyrics
[Intro: 20th Century Steel Band]
Children growing, women producing
Men go work and some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living
[Verse: Kanye West]
No more promos, no more photos
No more logos, no more chokeholds
We on Bezos, we get payrolls
Trips to Lagos, connect like LEGOs
Make this final, make this, my eyes closed
Burn false idols, Jesus' disciples
I can feel your pain now, I done bled my vein out
New level the game now, simulation changed
No more problems, no more argue
No more asking, "Who really arе you?"
I know the real you, you know we feel you
You know Hе hears you, you know we with you
Straight from Beirut, Chicago, Beirut
You cray? We cray, too
You pray? We pray, too
Never too late for Him to save you
This your movie 'cause no one can play you
Devil, lay down, Devil, lay down
This that level, make devils pray now (Heaven and Hell)
Hold up, no peace, hold up, police
Don't call police, just stay focused (Is on Earth)
Pray for new life, pray for new breath
Hey, Lord, make sure it's safe for who's left (Heaven and Hell)
Know you can't find a place to rest
Know the Lord my bulletproof vest (Is on Earth)
When we survive, know that we blessed
Save my people through the music
[Outro: Kanye West]
Let it grrat, let it grrat, grrat
Let it grrat, grrat, grrat, grrat, grrat
Let it grrat, grrat, grrat
Let it grrat, let it grrat, grrat
Let it grrat, grrat, grrat, grrat, grrat
Let it grrat

[Intro]
This section sets the stage by describing the various roles and challenges faced by different segments of society. Children are growing, women are fulfilling their roles in society, men are working, but some resort to stealing. It portrays a picture of the struggle for survival and the diverse paths people take to make a living.
[Verse]
Kanye West's verse begins with a declaration of moving away from superficial aspects of fame and materialism. He rejects the idea of promotions, photoshoots, and commercial logos. Instead, he embraces a more profound connection with wealth, symbolized by Bezos (likely referring to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon). He talks about financial stability ("payrolls") and cultural connections ("Trips to Lagos"). Comparing connections to LEGO blocks implies the ease with which relationships are formed and maintained.
The mention of "burn[ing] false idols" alludes to breaking away from societal expectations and false gods, possibly referring to materialism or superficiality. West expresses empathy ("I can feel your pain") and asserts his own journey through struggles ("I done bled my vein out"). He suggests a paradigm shift ("New level the game now, simulation changed"), implying a transformative moment or realization.
The subsequent lines dismiss interpersonal conflicts ("No more problems, no more argue"), suggesting a resolution or acceptance. West claims to understand the true essence of individuals ("I know the real you"), emphasizing empathy and connection. The reference to Beirut and Chicago underscores a global perspective, suggesting solidarity across different cultures and locations.
The refrain "You cray? We cray, too" suggests a shared experience of hardship or mental instability. West emphasizes collective prayer and support ("You pray? We pray, too"). The mention of "Devil, lay down" implies a confrontation with evil forces or negativity, advocating for spiritual empowerment. The phrase "make devils pray now" implies a reversal of power dynamics, where evil is subdued or vanquished.
Amidst societal unrest ("no peace, hold up, police"), West urges focus and determination. Rather than relying on external assistance ("Don't call police"), he advocates for self-reliance and resilience. The call to "pray for new life, pray for new breath" invokes a sense of renewal and hope amidst adversity.
In the outro, West repeats the phrase "let it grrat," which could signify a release of pent-up emotions or a call to action. The repetition emphasizes a sense of urgency or intensity, perhaps symbolizing a cathartic moment.
[Outro]
The outro echoes the refrain, emphasizing the release or expression of emotions. The repetition of "let it grrat" reinforces the idea of letting go and embracing one's authentic self. It serves as a concluding statement, encapsulating the themes of struggle, faith, and empowerment present throughout the song.
