_ [G] I got a [Dm] little story I want to tell y'all.
_ [D] See it was September [Dm] 1st, 1999, [G] the day of my death.
My [Dm] back was on the cold concrete [G] as I took my [Dm] last breath.
Saw my body [G] laying on the ground as my soul [Dm] hovered above it.
Damn, my dear, [G] you was a good looking hat.
[Dm] But anyway, another day at [D] 18 years of age, step [Dm] into heaven's gates anxious to see [G] what
God's got to say.
[Dm] Maybe he'll give me a gift for [G] always saying my prayer.
[D] But he might send [Dm] me downstairs to last [G] year's love affair.
Well [Dm] who cares?
You know, [D] right now it's all a mystery.
I mean, [Dm] I'll find out when I get there.
Until [D] then, I can't let it get to me.
I'm [Dm] keeping my cool.
[G] Besides, once everybody dies, [Dm] I'll just follow the white light like they [G] do in the movies.
It [Dm] seemed like hours went by and I'm [G] still traveling right towards [Dm] the brightness.
Now this ain't heaven [G] or hell.
This realm is lifeless [Dm] and I hate to say it, but this [G] wild goose chase had me bored.
[Dm] No directions, no clues, and no [G] idea what I was in for.
But [Dm] then for it, I kept loading.
[G] And in a quick flash, the lights [Dm] split directly in half and [G] created a force.
Half representing each [Dm] side was an [G] angel.
Now what's the task I [Dm] have to untangle to meet the big [Bm] man in charge?
I asked.
And the one to [Dm] the right of me said,
One of us always [G] lies and one always tells the truth.
[Dm] Ask the right one the right question [G] and he'll direct you to heaven.
[Dm] And if you ask the wrong one, [G] son, farewell, you're going [Dm] straight to hell. _
[G] Y'all get the picture.
_ [Dm] Then the one on my left told me not [G] to listen to his fins.
He said [Dm] it ain't that complicated to [G] find out where God lives.
He told me [Dm] to follow his path until [G] God, he said, hi.
Then the one [Dm] on my right jumped in and told me not [G] to believe his lies.
And I'm like, [Dm] Jesus fucking Christ.
I [G] didn't care much for life, but I'd have [Dm] tried to stay alive forever if [G] I knew this is what death was like.
[Dm] I was never good at problem solving, [G] especially in emergencies.
I [Dm] get a tad nervous when concerned [G] with burning for [Dm] eternity.
But anyways, I asked him which one lied [G] and they pointed at each other.
[Dm] And thinking I had it, I [G] asked him the name of my mother.
[Dm] One said he don't know.
The [G] other said he know, but he can't [Dm] tell me.
God damn, [G] this is gonna be hard.
And so [Dm] I asked like 30 questions and [G] I still wasn't sure.
[Dm] Then me and Mia got pissed and gave [G] them pricks a few good words.
[Dm] Frustrated with it all, I [G] turned my back to the angels.
And when [Dm] I walked away to my surprise, [G] I found myself in heaven.
[Dm] _ You know what I'm saying?
[G] _ Kinda just turned [D] around for the [Dm] whole situation.
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] Rejecting everything that was going on.
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] That's how I walked into heaven.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ God damn, [G] what a great process.
[Dm] What a _ [G] great process.
