Ghetto Gospel Lyrics

Uhh, hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

If I could recollect before my hood days
I sit and reminisce, thinking of bliss and the good days
I stop and stare at the younger
My heart goes to 'em, they tested with stress that they under
And nowadays things change
Everyone's ashamed of the youth
‘cause the truth look strange
And for me it's reversed

We left 'em a world that's cursed and it hurts
‘Cause any day they'll push the button, and all good men like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nothin'
Don't it make you get teary? The world looks dreary
When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
There's no need for you to fear me
If you take your time and hear me
Maybe you can learn to cheer me
It ain't about black or white, ‘cause we human
I hope we see the light before it's ruined; my ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(Ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

Tell me, do you see that old lady? Ain't it sad?
Living out of bags plus she's glad for the little things
She has
And over there, there's a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess who's giving birth to a baby
I don't trip or let it fade me
From out of the fryin' pan we jump into another form of slavery
Even now I get discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back, will I still keep the courage?

I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottles
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it's said and done
I bet this brother be a better one
If I upset you don't stress, never forget
That God isn't finished with me yet
I feel His hand on my brain
When I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his thing
But am I less holy ‘cause I chose to puff a blunt
And drink a beer with my homies?
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace and end the war in the streets;
My ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(Yeah!, ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

Lord can you hear me speak....
To pay the price of being Hell bound
