Where I Belong Lyrics


(Where I belong)
It's in a place with no racial barriers
And we all ride high in chariots
Where love means loveWhen we all have the finer things
So we dont gotta buy 'em diamond rings
Just to marry usInstead Im where they livin' for bling
As people manage to sing
Over the material thingsWhere hip hop its no longer just a lyrical thing
Tell me God where did I go wrong?
This aint
(Where I belong)Its in a place where bad souls never get in
Instead Im in Hell's kitchen
Its sickenin' to my stomachIm runnin' a 100 mile
But still cant escape from it
I pray you show me the lightIts only right, these lonely nights
I call on my momma to hold me tight
Show me right from wrongThis road Im on, I passed my turn
But please, dont allow me to crash and burn

Just give me a chance, watch how fast I learn
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im 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 aint no enemiesAnd there aint 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 dont leave when you're born
And every page in the book aint torn
And everyday that you lookin', they goneAnd you wishin' they came
You see I know I ain't from here
Im wishin' I had remained
(Where I belong)No followers, no leaders
No burners and heaters
No dimes, no divas, its pureNo cancer, AIDS, God leave us a cure
No more violence
No need for police to appearNo schools to drop out
No snitches to cop out
No drugs to sell, meanin' no fiends to knock outIm talkin' a perfect place where we all get along
That's why I know
That this aint the place
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im 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 dont trade money for sex
So cops harass you in front of your steps
Where taxes dont equal a half your checkWhere 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' shit
No alcohol so drunk niggaz won't crash their whips
(Where I belong)The same place where Big and Pac's at
The same place they buried hip hop at
Right thereMe and my mom reunite there
Then it's off through the Pearly Gates
To sit down in that white chairRay Charles, Marvin Gaye
Barry White dead
Carry Mims Senior, Joanne Phnell right thereI don't need money
All I need is a mic there
I can see it so clear, I'll be there in the light, yeahIm tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
(Where I belong)Im tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as IIm tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz Im stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I

Shawn Mims (born March 22, 1981 in Washington Heights, New York City), better known by his stage name Mims, is an American rapper of Jamaican descent signed to his own American King Records. In 2007 he released his debut album, Music is My Savior, and his second album, Guilt was released in April of 2009. He is perhaps best known for his debut single, This Is Why I'm Hot, which was a smash hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mims graduated High School and enrolled at Nassau Community College. He left the institution after a mere two months of classes to pursue a career in rap music. He began spending time in Harlem with Cam'ron as an acquaintance. In 2001, he was discovered by Quincy S/Duq Entertainment and soon after featured on a Canadian compilation entitled Private Party Collectors Edition Vol. 2, by Baby Blue Soundcrew. His guest appearance on the single "Love Em' All", alongside Choclair, enabled him to be recognized in Canada. The music video was nominated for a MMVA award. This song was never officially released in the United States. Mims also released his own single entitled "L.O.V.E." which was commercially unsuccessful.

Soon after his recognition in Canada, he would gain connections with Blackout Movement. He would release his first U.S. Single, "I Did You Wrong" gaining modest momemtum across the United States. This would not be enough to finalize a legitimate record deal for the artist. In 2006, He began to record tracks for Latin hip hop label Urban Box Office. He decided that it would be in his best interests to structure his own label situation. He would create American King Music alongside business partners Corey Llewellyn & Erik Mendelson.

Mims released "This Is Why I'm Hot" which gained respectable momemtum across the country as a direct result of his immediate camp and company. This created much attention for Mims as labels that had previously turned him down began to show interest. Following meetings with EMI mainly Capitol Records, Mims decided to sign his American King Music imprint with the company in November of 2006.

He immediately began to work on his debut album, Music Is My Savior emphasizing that Capitol Records understood him and his aspirations. During the summer of 2007, Mims released his second single, "Like This. The song became a minor hit on the radio. Also released from the album was "Just Like That.

Mims released his second effort on April 7, 2009, titled "Guilt". In October 2008, "Move (If You Wanna)" became the first official single from Mims' new album, peaking at #63 on the Hot 100 charts. The second single was released to radio alongside his album on April 7, 2009, entitled "Love Rollercoaster" featuring LeToya Luckett.
