Lyrics (Start at 0:09):

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now Heaven would be a DJ spinning dub all night long
And Heaven would be just kicking back with Jesus packing my bong
And if you don’t believe in Jesus, then Muhammad or Buddha, too
And while the world is warring, we just sit back and laugh at you, sing

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now when most people think of Heaven, they see those pearly gates
But I looked a little closer and there’s a sign that says “Do not skate”
So if you wanna come to my heaven where we all gonna have a ball
And everyone you know is welcome ’cause we got no gates or walls, singing

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do shit
Without the man fucking with it

Then I got to the gate
Pulled out a list that l’d been calling fate
“I’m sorry, friend, you can’t come in
You got a list here that doesn’t end”
You’re mad ’cause I smoked dope?
You teaching any classes in how to cope?
I find a place to rest my head
I’d rather be alone now that I’m dead
Like Christian Hosoi way back in ’87
We’ll be busting Christ air’s until we get to heaven
You think I really care that I missed biology?
Got my education in stale fishology
With all your rules, you gots to chill
I’m gonna twist out like Mike McGill
Gonna twist out ’cause I got the skills
Gonna twist out ’cause I got the skills
Heaven is a halfpipe

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do jack
Without the man up on my back
Heaven is a halfpipe
If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
Heaven is a halfpipe
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do shit
Without the man fucking with it
If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
Heaven is a halfpipe
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do shit
Without the man fucking with it

If I die before I wake
Old Skool Air, Method Air
Judo Air, Frontside Air
At least in Heaven I can skate
I don’t care, no, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
‘Cause right now on Earth, I can’t do shit
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
Without the man fucking with it
