A Better Place

[Intro: CJay]
Aye I mean...... I want to be in a better place you know what I'm saying....
(Dolphins..... Rainbows)
Naw I'm not saying it has to be heaven or nothing but that would be nice (Beautiful skies.. Peace) but can I be in a better place?

[Hook 1: CJay]
Will I see a better place?
Better place oh yeah
(And I wonder will I....)
Will I see a better place?
Better place oh yeah
(And I wonder will I....)
Will I see a better place?
Better place oh yeah
And I wonder will I ever see a better place) Will I see a better place?
Better place oh yeah

[Verse 1: CJay]
I'm done dreaming, woke up the sun beaming; sun screen on my skin to block the darkness
It's hot on this block to start with
Working a 9-5 to survive, am I worthy?
Like the wise bird he arise early as 5:30
That's Real Prophecy if you wondering who it is
I'm concerned how my future is in the music biz
Nightmares from dreaming in the evening sleeping
Demons fiendin' for human beings, scheming; it's in a deeper meaning
To have our minds redesigned; entertainers agree to sign but don't pay attention or read between the lines
Ain't a puppet but I bet I blow, you could tell I know it's straight to hell I go if I sell my soul
Never that, there's a better place reserved for me
And will I get to change the world before I turn 40
But if I don't I hope I set the pace, peace among every race
Now that's what I call a better place

[Hook 2: CJay]
Repeat

[Verse 2: CJay]
Hey what can I gain? Is it to obtain the fortune and fame?
Feel the pain; my ancestors blood course through my veins
What a shame, these slaves worked decades without shade
Nowadays could you really say you deserve to get paid?
Ain't what it needs to be, you got the decency not to agree with me
People be greedy, I was a needy; they wouldn't feed me
He be praying Amen at 3am
Cuz he ain't in a state pen with 3 gay men causing mayhem
Prison ain't the place for a person to live
And television don't make it seem as worse as it is
The way my rhymes are you could put my notebook in front of me
That'll be the only way I'd be behind bars
Dodging the system, women are held victim to the misogynist
When they deserve to be treated like goddesses
I swear to Christ this world is full of parasites
I wonder do I have to be in heaven to live in paradise?

[Hook 3: CJay]
