Place to Go (Interlude)
Intro:
Yeah, we good bro?
Yeah
Cut me up just a lil bit in the headphones
Just a lil bit
Yeah that’s good right there
Verse:
Listen
There’s a place I wanna go
I heard the streets are paved with gold
And gangsters get inside the gates
Well at least that’s what I’m told cause
Everyone’s given their own halo
Compliments of being plucked as a rose
And a set of wings to fly over the clouds
And Lord behold
I wonder if Heaven got a Ghetto with parks and candy stores
Where kids can play safely
Without hearing gunshot noise
Where the light bill is always paid
And the rent is never late
And everybody and their mama
Has soul food on their plates
I wonder if Heaven got a Ghetto with strip clubs and liquor stores
Where 5 percent tint is legal and dunks sit on 24’s
See Heaven is a place that everyone ain’t gone go
I just pray me and my woes find salvation before the caskets close
Another place to spend my quiet nights like Pac
Time to unwind
So much pressure in this life of mine
I cry at times
I’m just praying for a piece of mind
While avoiding places where death reside
Biding adieu to my pride and embracing my softer side
Dearly departed where I’m at
I can hear the angels playing harps
The sound of love and happiness serenades my soul and my heart
See my testimony is a testament that through faith a man can change his arc
Cause my back story was kind of dark but luckily I found my spark
Worldly advances kept tempting me
I found myself going crazy
Knowing that I’m living on borrowed time
I begged the Holy Spirit to save me
I was pulled from them trenches
I was covered from all demons
Ain’t no need to tattoo a cross on my flesh
Cause God lives within me
Dear mama listen don’t you cry cause your baby boy will earn his wings
Told all the homies I’m in Heaven playing “A Dollar and A Dream”
Surrounded by all my loved ones and breaking bread with the King
Don’t you dare mourn for me if at last I’m at peace
And one day you’ll return to me
And I’ll return to you
But until we meet again
Sleep with the angels like you always do and
Save a place for me in the clouds
And set my seat at the table
Meet me at the crossroads cause
I promise I’ll be waiting there for you
Signed
Santana
Yeah that’s it bro
Right there
