[00:04.67]Hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel
[00:06.83]Chorus: elton john]
[00:07.36]Those who wish to follow me (my ghetto gospel)
[00:11.48]I welcome with my hands
[00:17.58]And the red sun sinks at last
[00:20.55]Into the hills of gold
[00:23.37]And peace to this young warrior
[00:26.58]Without the sound of guns
[00:28.78]Verse 1]
[00:29.80]If i could recollect before my hood days
[00:31.68]I'd sit and reminisce thinkin of bliss of the good days
[00:34.49]
[00:35.44]I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to 'em
[00:39.79]They geussed it was stress that they under
[00:42.93]And nowadays things changed
[00:44.20]Everyone's ashamed of the youth cuz the truth look strange
[00:47.97]And for me it's reversed we left them a world that's cursed and it hurts
[00:52.00]Cuz any day they'll push the button
[00:57.51]And all good men like malcolm x and bobby hutton died for nottin
[01:00.17]Don't it make you get teary the world looks dreary
[01:04.06]When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
[01:06.35]There's no need for you to fear me
[01:08.12]If you take your time to hear me maybe you can learn to cheer me
[01:11.43]It ain't about black or white cuz we're human
[01:14.04]I hope we see the light before it's ruined
[01:16.77]My ghetto gospel
[01:17.45]Chorus]
[01:17.81]Those who wish to follow me (ghetto gospel)
[01:23.94]I welcome with my hands
[01:29.27]And the red sun sinks at last
[01:32.16]Into the hills of gold
[01:34.95]And peace to this young warrior
[01:38.17]Without the sound of guns
[01:39.70]Verse 2]
[01:41.05]Tell me do you see that old lady ain't it sad
[01:43.29]Livin outta bags but she's glad for the little things has
[01:47.63]And over there there's a lady
[01:49.48]Crack got her crazy guess who's givin birth to a baby
[01:53.60]I don't trip and let it fade me
[01:55.68]From outta the frying pan we jumpin to another form of slavery
[01:59.34]Even now i get discouraged
[02:01.13]Wonder if they take it all back will i still keep the courage
[02:05.47]I refuse to be a role model
[02:07.70]I set goals take control drink out my own bottles
[02:11.10]I make mistakes but learn from every one
[02:13.73]And when it's said and done
[02:15.29]I bet this brotha be a better one
[02:17.43]If i upset you dont stress
[02:19.11]Never forget that god isn't finished with me yet
[02:23.30]I feel his hand on my brain
[02:25.51]When i write rhymes i go blind and let the lord do his thang
[02:29.71]But im less holy
[02:31.12]Cuz i took a puff of blunt and drink a beer with my homies
[02:34.92]Before we find world peace
[02:37.21]We gotta find peace and end the war on the streets
[02:41.04]My ghetto gospel
[02:41.98]Chorus]
[02:42.17]Those who wish to follow me (yea ghetto gospel)
[02:47.51]I welcome with my hands
[02:52.68]And the red sun sinks at last
[02:55.48]Into the hills of gold
[02:58.45]And peace to this young warrior
[03:01.63]Without the sounds of guns
[03:04.09]
[03:08.96]Lord can you hear me speak

[03:23.19]To pay the price of being hell bound
