Uhh, |
|
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel |
|
Yeah! Ma Ghetto Gospel! |
|
Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin' |
|
(2Pac) |
|
If I could recollect before my hood days |
|
I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good days |
|
I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to 'em |
|
They tested, it was stressed that they under |
|
We never really went threw that coz we was born B.C u n me b4 crack |
|
In our days, things changed |
|
Everyone's ashamed to the youth 'cause the truth looks strange |
|
And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts |
|
Cause any day they'll push the button |
|
And y'all condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin |
|
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary |
|
But when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly |
|
There's no need for you to fear me |
|
If you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me |
|
It ain't about black or white, 'cause we're human |
|
I hope we see the light before its ruined |
|
My ghetto gospel |

|
Whoever said that this struggle would stop today |
|
A lot of niggas dead or locked away |
|
Teenage Women growing up with aids |
|
Cause that's the life when your |
|
Living in the (ghetto) |
|
Or eating in the (ghetto) |
|
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto) |
|
That's the life when your |
|
Living in the (ghetto) |
|
Or eating in the (ghetto) |
|
Or sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto) |

|
Tell me do you see that old lady ain't it sad |
|
Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has |
|
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy |
|
Guess she's given birth to a baby |
|
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan |
|
We jump into another form of slavery |
|
Even now I keep discouraged |
|
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage |
|
I refuse to be a role model |
|
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle |
|
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone |
|
And when its said and done |
|
I bet this brotha be a better one |
|
If I'm upset, you don't stress |
|
Never forget, that God hasn'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 thang |
|
But am I less holy |
|
'cause I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies |
|
Before we find world peace |
|
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets |
|
My ghetto gospel |
