Ghetto Gospel

1. If I could recollect a-from my hood days

I sit and reminisce, thinkin of bliss on 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 a first

We left 'em a world that's cursed, and it - hurts

Cause any day they'll push the button

And all come in like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nuttin

Don't it make you get teary, the world looks dreary

When you wipe yo' 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

R: Those who wiiiiish to follow me (my ghetto gospel)

I welcome with my haaaaaaaaaands

And the red sun sinks at last, into the hills of gold

And peace to this young warrior, without the sound

of guns

2. Tell me do you see that old lady, ain't it sad

Livin out of bags, plus is glad for the little things she, has

And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy

Guess who's givin birth to a, baby?

I don't trip and 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 bottles

I made mistakes, but learned from every one

And when it's said and done, I bet there's got to be a better one

If I upset you don't stress, never forget

That God is up in this with me yet

I feel his hand on my brain

When I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his, thang

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 within the war in the streets, my ghetto gospel

R: Those who wiiiiish...
