[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]
