Beautiful Place
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look
Damn, won't you get her her paradise
Somethin' more than a store with
A pair of Nikes
That we probably can't afford
'cause the wearin' price
So instead, we just window shop
At night time, gotta keep her windows locked
'Cause niggas outside with they
Things on cock and money so low though
Through they been throwin' rock
I heard he savin' up for that Benz old drop
But if cops knock 'em down
And his ears gon' flop
So the ink from his pen gon' drop
'Cause when we do the crime
Everythin's blown out
I help the portion, women havin' abortions
And we as black males should
Not be black male we can make planes instead
Of them crack sales
Think about it, you ruinin' someone's life
And if they come back
You doin' it to 'em twice
Let's all to sleep just a dream a day
Way them clouds ain't grey
And you're miles away so just let your head
Think away the pain from your cloudy day
Because now you stay in a beautiful place
Damn, won't you give a man good livin'
Good cookin' that ain't comin'
Outta hood kitchen
Build a better community that
We could live in
Give us better predicaments that
We shoulda been in i mean not all of us bad
Some got a good vision
And our role models gettin' shot
Up in the hood slippin'
The fall out's appall seen
How do we graduate if drop outs all we see?
And when we sleep
The only time that we offer peace
Wish I could wake up and all
My pain's all a dream
All as God's human beings, come all a team
Where everybody on the bus on the car to be
We need difference in the world
Predominantly
Need change, more than an Obama speech
We need to listen like the
Times when our mama speaks
So we can finally expand like we oughta be
Uh
Let's all to sleep just a dream a day
Way them clouds ain't grey
And you're miles away so just let your head
Think away the pain from your cloudy day
Because now you stay in a beautiful place
How could we see clearly if the
Circumstances we've been born into are
Not as golden or bright as others?
How does someone do so
Right if only seein' so wrong? How
Does a community change for
The better to change another community?
The answer is one word
Self you see you must first change
Yourself as a person before
You can change someone else or
Correct anyone on their
Own problems only he without sin has
The right to judge someone
With sins in their wrong heart
Some people are good hearted
Some people are bad hearted good and
Bad people both have their
Differences but one thing they have
In common is sleep
You see no matter how long you stay
Awake, you will always need to sleep and in
That sleep, you exist in another world
Another realm you will wake up
In the morning only
To have to go to sleep that same
Night and then you exist again in the dream
World keep the dream alive mr peterson
