Beautiful Place歌词

[00:08.44]DJ ill Will
[00:10.01]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look, like
[00:19.68]Damn, won't you get her her paradise
[00:22.96]Somethin' more than a store with a pair of Nikes
[00:25.47]That we probably can't afford 'cause the wearin' price
[00:27.97]So instead, we just window shop
[00:30.12]At night time, gotta keep her windows locked
[00:32.61]'Cause n*ggas outside with they things on cock
[00:35.14]And money so low though, through they been throwin' rock
[00:37.65]I heard he savin' up for that Benz old drop
[00:40.12]But if cops knock 'em down and his ears gon' flop
[00:42.63]So the ink from his pen gon' drop
[00:45.31]'Cause when we do the crime, everythin's blown out
[00:47.72]I help the portion, women havin' abortions
[00:50.27]And we as black males should not be black male
[00:53.03]We can make planes instead of them c*ack sales
[00:55.74]Think about it, you ruinin' someone's life
[00:57.95]And if they come back, you doin' it to 'em twice
[00:59.79]Let's all go to sleep
[01:02.35]Just a dream a day
[01:04.85]Way them clouds ain't grey
[01:07.35]And you're miles away
[01:09.87]So just let your head
[01:12.40]Think away the pain
[01:14.88]From your cloudy day
[01:17.38]Because now you stay in a beautiful place
[01:21.27]Damn, won't you give a man good livin'
[01:23.39]Good cookin' that ain't comin' outta hood kitchen
[01:25.93]Build a better community that we could live in
[01:28.44]Give us better predicaments that we shoulda been in
[01:30.99]I mean not all of us bad, some got a good vision
[01:33.44]And our role models gettin' shot up in the hood slippin'
[01:36.26]The fall out's appall seen
[01:37.93]How do we graduate if drop outs all we see?
[01:40.47]And when we sleep, the only time that we offer peace
[01:42.91]Wish I could wake up and all my pain's all a dream
[01:45.46]All as God's human beings, come all a team
[01:48.08]Where everybody on the bus on the car to be
[01:50.54]We need difference in the world, predominantly
[01:53.66]Need change, more than an Obama speech
[01:56.16]We need to listen like the times when our mama speaks
[01:58.65]So we can finally expand like we oughta be, uh
[02:00.34]Let's all go to sleep
[02:02.77]Just a dream a day
[02:05.36]Way them clouds ain't grey
[02:07.84]And you're miles away
[02:10.32]So just let your head
[02:12.85]Think away the pain
[02:15.43]From your cloudy day
[02:17.90]Because now you stay in a beautiful place
[02:22.42]How could we see clearly if the circumstances we've been born into are not as golden or bright as others?
[02:29.80]How does someone do so right if only seein' so wrong?
[02:33.33]How does a community change for the better to change another community?
[02:38.67]The answer is one word, self.
[02:41.22]You see you must first change yourself as a person before you can change someone else or correct anyone on their own problems.
[02:48.66]Only he without sin has the right to judge someone with sins in their wrong heart.
[02:53.16]Some people are good hearted, some people are bad hearted.
[02:56.72]Good and bad people both have their differences but one thing they have in common is sleep.
[03:01.89]You see no matter how long you stay awake, you will always need to sleep.
[03:06.49]And in that sleep, you exist in another world, another realm.
[03:10.59]You will wake up in the morning only to have to go to sleep that same night.
[03:16.39]And then you exist again in the dream world.
[03:18.99]Keep the dream alive. Mr. Peterson
