Mims - 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 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 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 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
