(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
