[Intro]
Uh, hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel

[Chorus 1]
My ghetto gospel

[Verse 1]
If I could recollect before my hood days
I'd sit and reminisce, thinking of bliss and the good days (Days)
I stop and stare at the younger
My heart goes to 'em, they tested wit' 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 (Hurts)
'Cause, any day, thеy'll push the button
And all good men like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton diеd for nothing
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 da fear me
If you take your time da hear me, maybe you can learn a 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

[Chorus 2]
Ghetto gospel
[Verse 2]
Tell me, do ya 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 who's giving birth to a baby?
I don't trip or let it fade me
From out of the frying 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 (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 this 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 choose 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

[Chorus 3]
Yeah, ghetto gospel
[Outro]
Lord, can you hear me speak?
To pay the price of being hell bound
