TO EVERY CITY
EVERY HOOD
AND EVERY BLOCK
GOOD OL' AMERICA
ROLLIN' THROUGH
THE HOOD
JUST STOPPED BY TO SAY
WHAT'S UP
AND LET YOU KNOW
YOUR BABY BOY
AIN'T DOING SO TOUGH
AND EVEN THOUGH
YOU PASSED GOING ON
FOUR LONG YEARS
STILL WAKING UP
LATE AT NIGHT
CRYING TEARS
JUST THINKING ABOUT
THOSE DAYS
YOU USED TO
TALK TO ME
SMILIN' WHILE I'M SIPPIN'
ON THIS HENNESY
AND REMEMBER
WE BRAGGED ON
HOW RICH WE WOULD BE
TO GET UP OUT
THIS HOOD
WAS LIKE A FANTASY
OH I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY EARS
AND WHAT
EVERYBODY'S SAYIN'
AND BOY I'LL TELL YOU
FOLKS DON'T KNOW
THE HALF
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL UP
JUST TO TAKE ONE RIDE
HOW I USED TO KICK IT
ON THE FRONT PORCH
AND HOW I USED TO
LAY BACK
AND SMOKE WEED
AND ALL THE LITTLE
BASEMENT
PARTY JOINTS WE'D DO
NOW I'M JUST
MISSING YOU
HOW I WISH
I WISH THAT I COULD
HOLD YOU NOW
I WISH THAT I COULD
TOUCH YOU NOW
I WISH THAT I COULD
TALK TO YOU
BE WITH YOU SOMEHOW
I KNOW YOU'RE
IN A BETTER PLACE
EVEN THOUGH
I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE
I KNOW YOU'RE SMILING
DOWN ON ME
SAYING EVERYTHING'S
OKAY
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN
SOMEDAY
NOW EVER SINCE
THIS MONEY COME
IT'S BEEN NOTHING
BUT STRESS
SOMETIMES I WISH THAT
I COULD JUST TRADE IN
MY SUCCESS
Y'ALL LOOK AT ME
AND SAY BOY
YOU'VE BEEN BLESSED
BUT Y'ALL DON'T SEE
THE INSIDE OF MY
UNHAPPINESS
MAN I SWEAR THIS GETS
HEAVY LIKE A TON
THAT'S WHY
YOU HEAR ME SHOOTIN'
THIS REAL HIT OFF
LIKE A GUN
Hmm I WONDER HOW
MY FRIENDS WOULD
TREAT ME NOW
IF I WASN'T ICED UP
WITH A BENTLEY
AND A HOUSE THAT'S WHY
FAKE BROTHERS GET
FAKE DIGITS AND
FAKE PLAYAS GET A
REAL PLAYA HATIN' 'EM
HONEY LOVE GOES
PLATINUM AND Y'ALL
COME AROUND
BUT Y'ALL DON'T
WANNA RAISE THE ROOF
UNTIL MY HIT IS GOING
DOWN
OH I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY EARS
AND WHAT
EVERYBODY'S SAYIN'
AND BOY I'LL TELL YOU
FOLKS DON'T KNOW
THE HALF
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL UP
JUST TO TAKE ONE RIDE
HOW I USED TO
HOOP OFF IN THEM
TOURNAMENTS
AND HOW I USED TO
CLUB HOP
ON WEEKENDS
YOUR FAMILY CALLED
THE MORNING OF
THE TRAGIC END
DAMN
MY CONDOLENCES
I WISH THAT I COULD
HOLD YOU NOW
I WISH THAT I COULD
TOUCH YOU NOW
I WISH THAT I COULD
TALK TO YOU
BE WITH YOU SOMEHOW
I KNOW YOU'RE IN
A BETTER PLACE
EVEN THOUGH
I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE
I KNOW YOU'RE SMILING
DOWN ON ME
SAYING EVERYTHING'S
OKAY
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN
SOMEDAY
VOICES IN MY HEAD
BE TELLING ME
TO COME TO CHURCH
SAID THE LORD
IS THE ONLY WAY FOR
YOU TO STOP THE HURT
DREAMING OF
WINDOWS BLACK
TINTED LIKE A HEARSE
AND WAKING UP TO LIFE
SOMETIMES SEEMS
WORST
AND ALL I EVER
WANTED IS TO BE
A BETTER MAN
AND I TRY TO KEEP IT
REAL WITH MY HOMIES
NOW
FOR ME TO SAVE
THE WORLD
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW DID I BECOME
THE LEADER
OF A BILLION MEN
OH I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY EARS
AND WHAT
EVERYBODY'S SAYIN'
AND BOY I'LL TELL YOU
FOLKS DON'T KNOW
THE HALF
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL UP
JUST TO TAKE ONE RIDE
HOW I USED TO
STREET PERFORM
ON FRIDAY
AND HOW I'D TO GO
TO CHURCH ON
EASTER SUNDAY
INSTEAD OF YA'LL
THROWING THEM
STONES AT ME
SOMEBODY
PRAY FOR ME

IN A BETTER PLACE
