Where I Belong Songtext
von Mims

It′s in a place with no racial barriers
And we all ride high in chariots
Where love means love
And 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
And people manage to sing over the material things
Where hip hop is 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 hundred miles, 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 mama 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


I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky
′Cause I'm stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein′ crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky
′Cause I'm stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein' crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)

It′s 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 your book ain't torn
And every day that you look and 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 Dons, 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
′Cause I'm stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein′ crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky
′Cause I'm stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein′ crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)

It's in a place where women don't trade money for sex
Or cops harass you in front of your steps
Where taxes don′t equal a half your check
And 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 and shit
No alcohol so drunk niggas won't crash they 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, Marvin Gaye, Barry White there
Carrie Mims, Sr., Joann Fennell, 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 a light year (where I belong)

I′m tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cause I'm stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein′ crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
I′m tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cause I′m stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein' crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
I′m tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cause I′m stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein' crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
I'm tryna keep my head up to the sky
′Cause I′m stuck in this life until I die
Lord, stop me from bein' crucified
As soon as I (where I belong)
