I've seen Superman pull off his cape
And fall to the ground.
Nothing surprises me
And if heaven b a playground
Hurry and take me from this town
And I'll see people I forgot gone
And be n my mainchun(mansion) as Dorothy Love would shout
And see old Jesus and hear what he says everything is about
Or all day play
Fingeroll via George Gervin
Or double dunking by the Goat
and Sugar Ray Robinson and the Brown Bomber
by Ali teaching then to rope'a'dope
And hide and seek with Tilia and Ashley
and Jeremy Lamar all day
With no alarming sirens
to cause our hearts to drum play
but cloud crash and sun bathe
where it's short on night
and only angels share good things to say
and back riding of witches are outta sight
and we run for no reason
and wind not only raises our kites
but the sweet laughter of God
keeping in touch seeing that his children are alright
But b heaven is a playground
I'll be fine, just hope Mama
will see she had one of a kind
that just wanted to leave long before his time
'cause it ain't easy down here
I just wanna be where it ain't always hard
but full of laughter and cheer
In the playground called heaven
that long long ways from here
And superman be the Creator
that never was stripped of his cape
and never caused his family a tear
and guns weren't training wheels
or drugs monkey bars and slides
but if heaven is a playground
happier there than now where I reside.
