Knockin On Heavens Door Lyrics

    I remember playin my guitar in the projects
    (Playin' in the PJ's)
    A productly environment
    (Pour some liquor for those who passed away)
    I told my mom I'ma get up out of da hood
    (Mama)
    My dad told me the American dream, baby
    (You can be anything that you wanna be)
    If I did it y'all could do it
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

    Mama, take these guns away from here
    Mama, I can't shoot them anymore
    Cease fire
    I feel a dark cloud coming over me
    So poor, so dark
    It feels like I'm knockin on a heaven's door

    To Biggie Smalls and Tupac
    Knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    (Hip hop)
    To Freaky Ty and Big Heavy
    (Lost boy)
    Knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    (Yeah)
    And to the Princess Aaliyah
    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    To my brother Big Pun
    (Terror Squad)
    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    Oh Lord, oh Lord

    Would someone take these guns away from here
    Take these guns from the street, Lord
    I can't shoot my brothers anymore
    I seen a thug cry
    I feel a dark cloud coming over me
    (Over me)
    It feels like
    It feels like I'm knockin on a heaven's door
    So sing along street children

    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    And to my daddy that passed away
    (Rest in peace)
    Knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    To the god, Fred Jordan, we're
    (And put the Fugees on)
    Knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    To my people doin time
    We're
    (Locked up)
    Knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door

    Crypts and Bloods, Latin peace
    Please just chill wit the violence
    Though even though I know that the bad boy move in silence
    I'm asking y'all please chill wit the violence
    Said even though I know that the gangsters move in silence
    Whoaaah
    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    To my people in the Twin Tower Build'
    (I'll never forget you)
    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    And to my soldiers in the Pentagon
    We're knock, knock, knockin on a heaven's door
    New York, New York, New York, New York, New York
    Mama
    To my people in the streets
    I'm talkin to you now
    Please put down your heat
    Oh Lord
    To my brothers that's on the corner
    Oh God
    Aaay, get out quick or you too will be knockin on heaven's door
