[00:05.03]Hit 'em with a little Ghetto Gospel
[00:07.01]Those who wish to follow me
[00:11.93]My Ghetto Gospel
[00:13.71]I welcome with my hands
[00:17.74]And the red sun sinks
[00:20.18]At last into the hills of gold
[00:24.24]And peace to this young
[00:25.79]Warrior without the sounds of guns
[00:30.15]If I could recollect before my hood days
[00:32.41]I'd sit and reminiscence
[00:33.67]Thinkin' of bliss of the good days
[00:36.43]I stop and stare
[00:37.35]At the younger my heart goes to em
[00:39.78]Ain't tested it was stress that they under
[00:42.24]And nowadays things change
[00:44.46]Everyone's ashamed of the youth

[01:00.96]Get teary the world looks dreary
[01:03.82]When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
[01:06.33]There's no need for you to fear me
[01:08.12]If you take your time to hear me
[01:10.08]Maybe you can learn to cheer me
[01:12.12]It ain't about black or white
[01:13.78]'Cuz we're human I hope we see

[01:41.00]Tell me do you see that old lady ain't it sad
[01:43.82]Livin' outta bags but she's glad
[01:45.81]For the little things she has
[01:47.93]And over there there's a lady crack got her crazy
[01:51.45]Yet she's givin' birth to a baby
[01:53.99]I don't trip and let it fade me

[02:00.01]Even now I get discouraged wonder
[02:02.09]If they take it all back
[02:03.72]Will I still keep the courage
[02:06.00]I refuse to be a role model I set goals
[02:08.76]Stay in control
[02:09.54]Drink out my own bottles I made mistakes
[02:12.67]But learned from every one
[02:14.01]And when it's said and done
[02:15.51]I bet this brother be a better one
[02:17.75]If I upset you don't stress never forget
[02:21.24]That God isn't finished with me yet
[02:23.62]I feel His hand on my brain when I write rhymes
[02:26.74]I go blind and let the Lord do His thing
[02:30.07]But am I less holy 'cuz I chose to puff a blunt
[02:33.39]And drink a beer with my homies
[02:36.00]Before we find world peace we gotta find peace
[02:39.33]And end the war in the streets my Ghetto Gospel
