I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
No dimes, no divas, it’s pure
(Where I belong)
I’m talkin' a perfect place where we all get along
And everyday that you lookin', they gone
Barry White dead
Where taxes don’t equal a half your check
Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye
You see I know I ain't from here
Carry Mims Senior, Joanne Phnell right there
(Where I belong)
And every page in the book ain’t torn
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
No snitches to cop out
I don't need money
As people manage to sing
Instead I’m in Hell's kitchen
That's why I know
No schools to drop out
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
It’s sickenin' to my stomach
Tell me God where did I go wrong?
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
That this ain’t the place
So we don’t gotta buy 'em diamond rings
No burners and heaters
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
Just to marry us
No decisions
I’m wishin' I had remained
(Take the time to think)
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
(Where I belong)
And we all ride high in chariots
But please, don’t allow me to crash and burn
This road I’m on, I passed my turn
(Where I belong)
Right there
All I need is a mic there
Where hip hop it’s no longer just a lyrical thing
And there ain’t no one minute you're wrong
Show me right from wrong
Where we're all friends and ain’t no enemies
(Where I belong)
When we all have the finer things
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
I can see it so clear, I'll be there in the light, yeah
Tryna figure how much cash I get
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
(No gold diggers)
(Where I belong)
Where love means love
It’s in a place where bad souls never get in
So it won't matter how fast I went
It's in a place where women don’t trade money for sex
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
(Where I belong)
No followers, no leaders
No need for police to appear
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
(Where I belong)
In someone's memory
Instead I’m where they livin' for bling
No drugs to sell, meanin' no fiends to knock out
(No speed limits)
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
But still can’t escape from it
(Where I belong)
Next minute you're gone, so I hope that
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
It’s only right, these lonely nights
I call on my momma to hold me tight
Where people give respect in order to have respect
No more violence
(Where I belong)
Is brash an' shit
Over the material things
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
No cancer, AIDS, God leave us a cure
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
Then it's off through the Pearly Gates
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
By the end of this song, I am
The same place where Big and Pac's at
So cops harass you in front of your steps
(Where I belong)
Just give me a chance, watch how fast I learn
Is somewhere
This ain’t
(Where I belong)
'Cuz I’m stuck in this life until I die
The same place they buried hip hop at
To sit down in that white chair
Lord, stop me from being crucified as soon as I
And you wishin' they came
I’m runnin' a 100 mile
No alcohol so drunk niggaz won't crash their whips
I pray you show me the light
Me and my mom reunite there
I’m tryna keep my head up to the sky
Where fathers don’t leave when you're born
