Where I Belong

It's in a place with no racial barriers

And we all ride high in chariots

Where love means love

When we all have the finer things

So we don't gotta buy 'em diamond rings

Just to marry us

Instead I'm where they livin' for bling

As people manage to sing

Over the material things

Where hip hop it's no longer just a lyrical thing

Tell me God where did I go wrong?

This ain't

(Where I belong)

It's in a place where bad souls never get in

Instead I'm in Hell's kitchen

It's sickenin' to my stomach

I'm runnin' a 100 mile

But still can't escape from it

I pray you show me the light

It's only right, these lonely nights

I call on my momma to hold me tight

Show me right from wrong

This road I'm on, I passed my turn

But please, don't allow me to crash and burn

Just give me a chance, watch how fast I learn

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

Is somewhere

In someone's memory

Where we're all friends and ain't no enemies

And there ain't no one minute you're wrong

Next minute you're gone, so I hope that

By the end of this song, I am

(Where I belong)

Where fathers don't leave when you're born

And every page in the book ain't torn

And everyday that you lookin', they gone

And you wishin' they came

You see I know I ain't from here

I'm wishin' I had remained

(Where I belong)

No followers, no leaders

No burners and heaters

No dimes, no divas, it's pure

No cancer, AIDS, God leave us a cure

No more violence

No need for police to appear

No schools to drop out

No snitches to cop out

No drugs to sell, meanin' no fiends to knock out

I'm talkin' a perfect place where we all get along

That's why I know

That this ain't the place

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

It's in a place where women don't trade money for ***

So cops harass you in front of your steps

Where taxes don't equal a half your check

Where people give respect in order to have respect(No gold diggers)

Tryna figure how much cash I get(No speed limits)

So it won't matter how fast I went(Take the time to think)

No decisions

Is brash an' ****

No alcohol so drunk ****** won't crash their whips

(Where I belong)

The same place where Big and Pac's at

The same place they buried hip hop back

Right there

Me and my mom reunite there

Then it's off through the Pearly Gates

To sit down in that white chair

Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye

Barry White dead

Carry Mims Senior, Joanne Phnell right there

I don't need money

All I need is a mic there

I can see it so clear, I'll be there in the light, yeah

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

(Where I belong)

I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky

'Cuz I'm stuck in this life until I die

Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
