[Verse 1:]
|
(Where I belong)
|
Is 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 you diamond rings just to marry us
|
Instead I'm where they livin for bling
|
And 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 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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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)
|
[x2]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
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 aint from here
|
I'm wishin I had remain (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)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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)
|
[x2]
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Is in a place where women don't trade money for sex
|
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 wont matter how fast I went
|
(Take the time to think) no decisions is ? ? shit
|
No alcohol so drunk niggaz wont crash their whips
|
(Where I belong)
|
The same place where Big and Pac's at
|
The same place they buried hip hop at...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, Marvyn Gaye...Barry White did
|
Carry Mims Senior, Joanne ? right there
|
I dont need money, all I need is a mic there
|
I can see it so clear, I be there in the light yeah
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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)
|
