Better Place
MC Lyte Lyrics

Have you ever
Have you ever experienced the loss of someone close to you?

Had someone close to you die
Have you ever had someone you loved pass away?

I know you wanna cry
I understand that you may want to cry.

But keep your head up high
However, it's important to stay strong and optimistic.

And remember (remember)
Remember to keep in mind

They're in a better place (in heaven)
That the loved one who passed is in a paradise-like afterlife.

Up there somewhere far away
They are in a distant and inaccessible place.

And they'll be waiting for you to join them one day
They will welcome you when it's your time to join them.

I know you keep them in your heart
I know that you will always remember and cherish your loved one.

That special part. Didn't care to share
They had an important role in your life that can never be replaced.

Thought he'd always be there
You may have assumed that your loved one would always be a part of your life.

But he had to go. It was his time to fly
However, it was their time to pass on to the afterlife.

Though he struggled to live
Your loved one may have faced challenges in their life.

See we all gotta die
Death is a natural part of life.

Don't question why
It's not always possible to fully understand why things happen.

It's just how life goes
It's simply the way life works.

It just happened to be your number one homie that God chose
It was their time to pass on, and it happened to be someone very close to you.

Your sadness shows, your woes, your sorrows
It's natural to feel sad and overwhelmed by the loss.

But keep in mind the sun will shine tomorrow
However, it's important to remember that life will go on and things will get better.

Now he's gotta halo, an everlasting glow
Your loved one is now in a better place, with a permanent and radiant aura.

And it's painful but only God knows
It can be difficult to come to terms with the loss, but it is part of a divine plan.

What's next on the agenda (yeah)
What comes next is unclear and uncertain.

Either way you gotta return to sender
Regardless of what the future holds, one day we will all pass on from this life.

But while you're here you gotta keep ya head up
It's important to stay positive and strong while you're still alive.

Moving on your life and never let up
Keep pushing through and moving forward in life.

Let the past be the inspiration to get up
Use the memory of your loved one as motivation to keep going and living your best life.

Tell the devil he's a liar and ya feed up c'mon
Don't let negativity or despair take over; fight it off with determination and strength.

Release and let go the fault wasn't ours
We cannot blame ourselves for the loss of a loved one.

She was called upon by a much higher power
It was part of a divine plan for our loved one to pass on.

What's important for us all to understand
It's important for us to recognize and comprehend.

We're just little pieces in God's big plan so
We are a small part of a much larger divine plan.

Hold on when I tell you hold on, stay strong and it won't be long
Stay steadfast and resolute and you will get through this difficult time.

Till you see your little boy again your mommy again your brother again your best friend
You will be reunited with your loved one again one day.

Sometimes you just wanna ball out his name
You may want to express your love and grief for your loved one through an emotional outpouring.

Seem like your sun don't shine the same, but you gotta maintain
It can feel like the world has lost some of its brightness, but it's important to stay strong.

Remain sane, know you're not to blame
Keep your composure and don't blame yourself for the loss.

But while you're here
While you're still alive

You gotta keep your head up
It's important to stay positive and keep moving forward.

Let the past be the inspiration to get up
Use memories of your loved one as motivation to live your best life.

Tell the devil he's a liar and ya feed up c'mon
Resist negative emotions and stay strong in the face of difficulty.

I know it's hard living life after death
It's difficult and painful to go on living after the loss of a loved one.

Sometimes hard to see what you got left
It can be difficult to find hope and motivation after a loss.

Now you're feelin' lost don't know what to do
You may feel confused and directionless after the loss of your loved one.

Don't let the demons out there try to fool you
Don't let negative emotions or thoughts take over and mislead you.

Give it all to God he'll pull you through
Trust in God and he will help you emerge from this difficult time.

Jehovah'll make a witness out of you
This time of trial can help you develop a stronger faith and be a testament to God's will.

You know it's true, but it's hard to realize
You may understand that God has a plan, but it can be difficult to fully embrace it emotionally.

That God's still there when your best friend dies
God is still present and active in your life, even when you experience grief and loss.

They'll be times when you just fall apart
You may have moments of emotional breakdown.

Just remember to keep them always in your heart
Remember to cherish and hold on to the memories of your loved one.

Let the tears fall it's okay to cry
It's healthy and normal to express your emotions through tears and grieving.

Try to understand it's his time to fly
Attempt to accept that it was your loved one's proper time to pass onto the afterlife.

There's a time when a spirit to say peace and release
There is a time in which one's soul will find inner peace, and be released from the physical being.

From a body that's left deceased
The physical body that's been left behind.

You've got to know there's so much more than what's right here
Recognize that there is much about the universe and existence that the human mind cannot comprehend.

Have no fear
Try not to have fear, particularly when it comes to the unknown and afterlife.
