[Verse 1]
I'm paying for all my father's sins
So I'mma thank him for you
I'mma thank him for you
My serotonin's gone a while ago
Girl, it's gone cause of you
It's been gone cause of you

[Chorus]
They say (they say), they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I got heaven
Well I say, I am God

[Verse 2]
I never prayed a moment in my life
Girl, I'm rewarded with you
I've been rewarded with you
So baby let me kiss your inner thigh
Let me kiss it for you
I can kiss it for you

[Chorus]
Well they say (they say), they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I have heaven
I say, I am God

The Weeknd

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990 in Scarborough, Ontario), popularly known as The Weeknd, is an R&B/pop/hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer from Toronto, Canada. He has been referred to as the songbird of his generation and the best musical talent since Michael Jackson throughout his career.

The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.

In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with “Earned It” becoming his solo breakout hit.
