"Heaven Over Hollywood" lyrics
Hi-Rez chose God over money! He burned bridges with major labels, Hollywood execs and industry musicians! Demonitized! Deplatformed and banned! He put it all on the line for the sake of the truth! What's gaining the world's worth if it means losing your soul?
I chose Heaven over Hollywood, I'll never sell my soul
People said I'd never blow, God been keeping me afloat
You can never block my blessings, this is the only thing I know
Went a few years without even doing a show
Finally getting back on road, getting back to my roots
But I'll never stop fighting when I'm searching for the truth
All these rappers lying every time they in the booth
Blackballed from these labels, corporations and these suits
Keep that thing on me, case my haters in a mood
But like Shaquille I'm praying that I never had to shoot
They keep bringing up me and Jimmy, don't even gotta ask
That's my brother to the grave, we just on two different paths
Shout my brother Emilio, if you know then you really know
Life got in the way, guess it's really hard to admit it though
Lost in LA, trying to make these viral videos
Had to get humble, so I moved about the city
Me and wifey almost broke up, thank God I woke up
She been there for me since we was little, now we all grown up
Back to the East Coast, had to find me though
No money in my bank account, but found a little peace though
Lost my grandma and I've been on a mission
To make sure that I carry on these family traditions
I got closer to God, heritage and religion
If you ever did me wrong, just know that you are forgiven
Finally started speaking my mind and all my records
I lost money, lost fans, but I would never regret it
Got married to the love of my life, man what a blessing
Even got to kick it with Donald Trump at the wedding
Life became a joke, man we living a meme
Ain't no left, ain't no right, they all on the same team
They tried to label me radical and they called me extreme
Cause I'm willing to die for the American dream
When I thought it's rock bottom, man the bottom kept coming
Demons kept chasing, but you know I kept running
I hope that God proud of the man that I'm becoming
I'm not perfect myself and that's why I don't be judging
I could quit and retire, but I would rather inspire
Drop this song, so dollar sign we have India on fire
I don't rock Balenciaga and them evil ass designers
Put my soul in these raps, I could never be alive
Wifey making boss moves, beat our first lawsuit
Shout to my real fans, my success is cause all you!
Thought about quitting, had my back against the wall
But failure is not an option, that's why I gave it my all
The government had us locked in our homes
Then I rallied against the mandates with Robert Malone
My family said I'm crazy when we talked on the phone
But I still do this for the fans that feel lost and alone
Ey! Ban me, cancel me, but you can never stop me!
Even some of my idols unfollowed me and blocked me
I know that God got me, man the journey been real fun
If you still riding with me, then you a real one!
Spoke out against the government, had everybody shook
The only rapper to perform at MLK probably stood
These social medias might ban me and they probably should
I'd never sell my soul, it's Heaven over Hollywood!
It's Rez!
I chose Heaven over Hollywood, I'll never sell my soul
People said I'd never blow, God been keeping me afloat
You can never block my blessings, this is the only thing I know
Went a few years without even doing a show
Finally getting back on road, getting back to my roots
But I'll never stop fighting when I'm searching for the truth
All these rappers lying every time they in the booth
