[00:03.040] Uh, hit them with a little ghetto gospel.
[00:07.250]Those who wish to follow me. (my Ghetto gospel)
[00:12.770]I welcome with my hands.
[00:17.940]And the red sun sinks to last into the hills of gold.
[00:24.060] And peace to this young warrior,
[00:26.720]Without the sound of guns.
[00:30.180]If I could recollect before my hood days.
[00:32.750] I sit and reminisce, thinking and bliss on the good days.
[00:35.300]I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to  m.
[00:39.570]They tested, it was stressed that they under.
[00:42.230]And nowadays, things changed.
[00:44.330] Everyone ashamed to the youth, cuz the truth looks strange.
[00:48.270]And for me it  reversed, we left them a world that  cursed, and it hurts.
[00:53.940]Cause any day theyl push the button.
[00:55.940]And all commend, like Malcom X and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin?
[01:00.060]Don make me get teary, the world looks dreary.
[01:03.830]When you wipe your eyes, seeing clearly.
[01:06.190]There  no need for you to fear me. If you take your time to hear me,
[01:09.800]maybe you can learn to cheer me. It ain  about black or white,
[01:13.680] cuz we e human. I hope we see the light before it  ruined.
[01:16.990]My ghetto gospel.
[01:19.110] Those who wish to follow me. (Ghetto gospel)
[01:24.020]I welcome with my hands.
[01:29.090] And the red sun sinks to last into the hills of gold.
[01:34.960]And peace to this young warrior,
[01:38.230]Without the sound of guns.
[01:41.040] Tell me do you see that old lady, ain  it sad.
[01:43.850]Living out of bags, plus she  glad for the little things she has.
[01:47.760]And over there there  a lady, crack got her crazy.
[01:51.170] Guess she  giving birth to a baby.
[01:53.830] I don  trip and let  m fade me,
[01:55.540]? we e droppin?to another form of slavery.
[01:59.870] Even now I keep discouraged. Wonder if they take it all back,
[02:03.580]Will I still keep the courage? I refuse to be a role model.
[02:07.900]I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottles.
[02:10.870]I made mistakes, but learned from every one.
[02:13.830]And when it  said and done. I bet this brother be a better one.
[02:17.490] If I upset, you don  stress. Never forget that God hasn finished with me yet.
[02:23.510] I feel his hand on my brain. When I write rhymes,
[02:26.670]I go blind, and let the lord do his thing. But am I less holy?
[02:31.290]Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homeyz.
[02:35.000]Before we find world peace. We gotta find peace in the war on the streets.
[02:40.970] My ghetto gospel.
[02:42.070]Those who wish to follow me. (Ghetto gospel)
[02:48.440] I welcome with my hands.
[02:52.760]And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold.
[02:58.780] And peace to this young warrior,
[03:01.740] Without the sound of guns.
[03:09.970] Lord can you hear me speak.
[03:23.360]Pay the price for being hellbound.
