[00:00.25] If I could recollect before my hood days

[00:02.52] I'd sit, reminisce in bliss on the good days

[00:05.32] I stop and stare at the younger

[00:07.07] My heart goes to 'em

[00:08.35] They tested, it was stressed that they under

[00:10.37] We never really went through that

[00:11.86] Because we was born B.C. - you and me before crack

[00:14.88] And nowadays things changed

[00:16.64] Everyone's ashamed of the youth cause the truth look strange

[00:19.66] And for me it's reverse

[00:21.17] We left them a world that's cursed and it hurts

[00:23.96] Cause any day they'll push the button

[00:25.98] And all good men like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothin'

[00:29.25] Don't 'em let me get teary

[00:30.50] The world looks dreary

[00:31.79] But when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly

[00:33.81] There is no need for you to fear me

[00:35.31] If you take the time to hear me

[00:37.07] Maybe you can learn to cheer me

[00:38.34] It ain't about black or white cause we're human

[00:40.34] I hope we'll see the light before it's ruined

[00:42.61] My Ghetto Gospel

[00:56.71] Tell me, do you see that old lady? Ain't it sad?

[00:58.50] Livin' out of bags but she's glad for the little things she has

[01:01.52] And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy, well guess she's givin' birth to a baby!

[01:06.32] I don't trip to let 'em fade me

[01:07.83] From outta the frying pan we jump into another form of slavery

[01:11.14] And even now I get discouraged

[01:12.66] I wonder if they take it all back will I still keep the courage?

[01:15.95] I refuse to be a role model

[01:17.72] I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle (yeah)

[01:20.23] I make mistakes but learn from everyone

[01:22.00] And when it's said and done

[01:23.78] I bet this brother will be a better one

[01:25.04] If I upset you, don't stress and never forget that God isn't finished with me yet

[01:29.58] I feel his hand on my brains when I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his thing

[01:34.35] But am I any less holy?

[01:35.87] I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies

[01:39.16] (and this is not world peace, we tried and failed) and there is war on the streets!

[01:43.45] My Ghetto Gospel

[01:53.04] I remember grandma's hands used to hold me, mold me, I never forget the things she told me

[01:57.58] Brothers' a butt and played the big shot, cause you know

[02:00.35] Grannies are the only thing that little Ghetto kids got

[02:02.37] Moms work and papa's buried

[02:04.13] She dropped me over granny's house

[02:05.90] Bless her heart cause she worry

[02:07.40] And ghetto grannies are like books, we got so many crooks cause so many grannies gettin' shook

[02:11.71] And gettin' dropped in the nursing home

[02:13.73] And times is hard and even worst alone

[02:16.26] And how could you be so cold

[02:18.02] You'll get your turn as soon as you turn old

[02:21.05] All they ask of every person

[02:22.83] They try to figure out what's on the mind of a brother when he's cursing

[02:25.85] 9 out of 10 you'll find the problems, time to take a listen and see what you could do to solve them

[02:30.65] Cause everybody needs a little help on the way to relying on one's self

[02:34.93] So think about it... why 2Pac hit cha, hit cha with a little ghetto gospel

[02:39.73] My Ghetto Gospel

[02:48.30] I was a stone cold gangsta man

[02:50.81] Until you gave me ghetto gospel, I thank you man

[02:53.33] Used to roll in the back and do drugs a lot

[02:55.35] Now I'm bangin' these tracks, slanging rhymes I got

[02:57.61] In this world of greed tryin' to succeed on my beliefs

[03:00.19] Now I lay me down to sleep

[03:01.70] Lord can you hear me speak?

[03:03.24] Can you forgive me for my sins?

[03:04.75] If I had it all to do again, I'd still play to win

[03:07.83] I hope the Lord can understand me

[03:09.59] A man's gotta do what he can for his family

[03:12.10] And pay the price of being hellbound

[03:14.38] But I rather see hell later than see hell now

[03:16.90] And the devil ain't got nothing on the president, cut back and keep us strapped in our residence and be like animals in cages

[03:23.46] We can rant and rave about slavery for ages

[03:26.26] Or we can start making positive and hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel
