Headphones Lyrics
[Chorus: Lecrae]
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, yeah, hey
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song, yeah
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
We went from nothing to hunnids to millis, man, who would’ve thunk it?
We went from running and ducking to running a Fortune 500
All of my people who held me down, now we lifting them up
Ain’t no more stressing or struggling or dreading the first of the month
Ain’t no keys in the trunk, ain’t no sleeping in bunks
Granny said, “Count your blessings,” but if I could count them, it’d take me some months
Wish you could see me now, living clean, got ’em calling me Reverend
Wish you could hear me now, hope you got you some headphones in Heaven
Headphones in Heaven, I wish I could tell them
I hope they can hear me, it’s so much I’m feeling
Walked through that alley and cried with my cousin that died
Left me broken, I still pray for healing
I know my destination
Know they patiently waiting
You can show me the ropes when I make it, until then keep playing my station
[Chorus: Lecrae]
Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, hey, yeah
And my mama got headphones in Heaven
I hope she hear this song
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
In another dimension
I know my auntie is grabbing my mama and man, they just hugging and kissing
And she’s saying, “Look at him, Niecy, look, Denise, he went and did it
See, Niecy, he was like you, he was a artist, he get depressed and
Yeah, he was like you, subject to trouble and few indiscretions
Yeah, he had to war with some demons, but beat him, now gon’ tell Miss Bettie
I’ma run and tell Mary
Miss Bettie gon’ tell Willie Burke
Michael made millions and traveled the Earth”
I could see them, cheer them, Tuck and Bim sitting near them, like, “Look at that boy go to work”
I’m talking about my Uncle Jeffrey
My Uncle Carlton, my Uncle Henry, my Uncle Ant-Man, my Uncle Vincent
I be reminiscing, sipping on whiskey
Fly as a Frisbee, from family of Christians, but I’m living risky
Street dreaming, but demons won’t get me
The Lord had to fix me and God as my witness
Man, I be wishing that family could listen and Heaven had headphones
I tell them, baby
All of them prayers you pray for me, all of them prayers, they paid off, like, baby
All of that grinding through time and that pressure made diamonds and now I’m like, baby
I pray that you hear me, your prodigal son that came home
Baby, baby, baby
[Chorus: Lecrae, T.I.]
Yeah, hey
And my brother got headphones in Heaven
I hope he hear this song, hey, yeah (Okay)
And my momma got headphones in Heaven, yeah
I hope she hear this song
[Verse 3: T.I.]
Hey, Cap
You and Clay take care of each other up there, man
Pops, you and Precious, man, y’all hear me right?
Me and my guardian angels been arguing lately
‘Cause they say I won’t go with God tryna take me
Now Satan is on me, it’s taking its toll
Carried the weight, I know God in control
Bless me with all of the diamonds and gold
Stack so much dough ’til it’s harder to fold
From millions, to thousands, to hundreds
Blessings from then until now in abundance
Commas on commas, made me a winner
Still I’m a sinner who running from something
I made him a promise, no matter the sin, the devil never will win
I promise, if only you knew, in a sold-out arena on stage still I’m feeling so lonely
Questioning, guessing and missing my homies
Disguising my tears, saying my prayers
Laughing out loud, talking to air
Saying my peace when ain’t nobody there
Yeah, so many people give glory to me
When I know where the glory should be
You see, ’cause I know how the story began
So I know how my story could be
It’s a cold game if I told names of the people who died, who done poured into me
If I tried to told you, song would’ve been over, man, literally, we’d have run out of beat

Headphones Lyrics Meaning
[Chorus: Lecrae]
Here Lecrae is simply expressing his hope that his loved ones who passed away, like his brother and mother, can somehow hear his music in Heaven. The headphones symbolize a way for them to still connect with him.
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Lecrae reflects on how far he has come in life, from having nothing to making millions. He remembers the days of hiding, running, and struggling to survive, and compares that to now being successful and respected, even called “Reverend” for his clean lifestyle. He credits the people who supported him, and now he wants to lift them up in return. He talks about blessings so many that he can’t even count them all, just like his grandmother told him. But even with all the success, there’s still sadness, especially when he remembers losing his cousin. That pain left him broken, but he continues to pray for healing. He believes he has a greater purpose, and that loved ones in Heaven are waiting for him. Until that time, he just hopes they can hear his voice through “headphones in Heaven” and feel the love he’s sending.
[Chorus: Lecrae]
Again, Lecrae repeats the heartfelt thought that his brother and mother are listening in Heaven. It’s like a prayer, hoping his music reaches them so they know he hasn’t forgotten them and still carries their memory.
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Killer Mike paints a picture of what he imagines Heaven to be like, where his late mother and aunt are reunited, hugging, smiling, and proud of him. He thinks about them talking about his journey—how he struggled with depression, temptations, and demons, but eventually overcame them and achieved great success. He imagines his family in Heaven passing the good news around, celebrating his growth and achievements. He recalls specific uncles and relatives who shaped him, and while he reminisces, he also admits that he once lived recklessly, drinking and chasing street dreams. But despite those risks, he believes God protected and repaired him. The thought that his family could be listening in Heaven comforts him. He wishes they knew that their prayers for him really worked—he turned the pressure and pain into diamonds, becoming stronger and successful. He compares himself to the prodigal son who finally returned home after straying. His words are filled with gratitude and a longing to share his transformation with those who are gone but still inspire him.
[Chorus: Lecrae, T.I.]
Here the chorus repeats, but now with T.I. joining in. Together they echo the same hope—that their family members in Heaven are listening, still connected through music, and aware of how much they are loved and remembered.
[Verse 3: T.I.]
T.I. starts by addressing friends and family who passed away, talking to them as if they can hear him. He admits to feeling conflicted, even arguing with his guardian angels because he’s not always ready for God’s plans. He feels attacked by temptations and burdens, but he knows God is in control and has blessed him with wealth and success. Despite having so much money and recognition, he’s honest about his struggles—still feeling like a sinner and often lonely, even when performing in front of thousands. He hides his pain with laughter or private prayers when no one is around. He reflects on how people give him credit and glory, but he knows deep down that the credit belongs to God. He recognizes that his story could have ended badly, but God gave him another chance. T.I. also thinks about all the people who influenced him but are no longer alive. Their impact is so huge that if he tried to list everyone, the song would run out of space. His verse captures the balance of success, grief, and faith—how even with fame and fortune, he still leans on God and remembers those who shaped him.
