MC Lyte - Better Place lyrics

rate me

Have you ever

Had someone close to you die

I know you wanna cry

But keep your head up high

And remember (remember)

They're in a better place (in heaven)

Up there somewhere far away

And they'll be waiting for you to join them one day

I know you keep them in your heart

That special part. Didn't care to share

Thought he'd always be there

But he had to go. It was his time to fly

Though he struggled to live

See we all gotta die

Don't question why

It's just how life goes

It just happened to be your number one homie that God chose

Your sadness shows, your woes, your sorrows

But keep in mind the sun will shine tomorrow

Now he's gotta halo, an everlasting glow

And it's painful but only God knows

What's next on the agenda (yeah)

Either way you gotta return to sender

But while you're here you gotta keep ya head up

Moving on your life and never let up

Let the past be the inspiration to get up

Tell the devil he's a liar and ya feed up c'mon

Have you ever

Had someone close to you die

I know you wanna cry

But keep your head up high

And remember (remember)

They're in a better place (in heaven)

Up there somewhere far away

And they'll be waiting for you to join them one day

Release and let go the fault wasn't ours

She was called upon by a much higher power

What's important for us all to understand

We're just little pieces in God's big plan so

Hold on when I tell you hold on, stay strong and it won't be long

Till you see your little boy again your mommy again your brother again

your best friend

Sometimes you just wanna ball out his name

Seem like your sun don't shine the same, but you gotta maintain

Remain sane, know you're not to blame

But while you're here

You gotta keep your head up

Keep moving on your life and never let up

Let the past be the inspiration to get up

Tell the devil he's a liar and ya feed up c'mon

Have you ever

Had someone close to you die

I know you wanna cry

But keep your head up high

And remember (remember)

They're in a better place (in heaven)

Up there somewhere far away

And they'll be waiting for you to join them one day

I know it's hard living life after death

Sometimes hard to see what you got left

Now you're feelin' lost don't know what to do

Don't let the demons out there try to fool you

Give it all to God he'll pull you through

Jehovah'll make a witness out of you

You know it's true, but it's hard to realize

That God's still there when your best friend dies

They'll be times when you just fall apart

Just remember to keep them always in your heart

Let the tears fall it's okay to cry

Try to understand it's his time to fly

There's a time when a spirit to say peace and release

From a body that's left deceased

You've got to know there's so much more than what's right here

Have no fear

Have you ever

Had someone close to you die

I know you wanna cry

But keep your head up high

And remember (remember)

They're in a better place (in heaven)

Up there somewhere far away

And they'll be waiting for you to join them one day
