• Hopefully we can go to heaven, I prayHopefully we can go to heaven, cause I'm stayingBJ explained in a Genius annotation: "Heaven could be heaven, or it could be an amazing sexual experience. He never says he's not going to make it to church - he makes it known that he can have fun and still make it to church."
