Ain't it sad?Livin' out of bags but she's glad for the little things she hasAnd over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy, well guess she's givin' birth to a baby!I don't trip to let 'em fade meFrom outta the frying pan we jump into another form of slaveryAnd even now I get discouragedI wonder if they take it all back will I still keep the courage?I refuse to be a role modelI set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle (yeah)I make mistakes but learn from everyoneAnd when it's said and doneI bet this brother will be a better oneIf I upset you, don't stress and never forget that God isn't finished with me yetI feel his hand on my brains when I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his thingBut am I any less holy?I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies(and this is not world peace, we tried and failed) and there is war on the streets!My Ghetto GospelHookVerse 3: 2PacI remember grandma's hands used to hold me, mold me, I never forget the things she told meBrothers' a butt and played the big shot, cause you knowGrannies are the only thing that little Ghetto kids gotMoms work and papa's buriedShe dropped me over granny's houseBless her heart cause she worryAnd ghetto grannies are like books, we got so many crooks cause so many grannies gettin' shookAnd gettin' dropped in the nursing homeAnd times is hard and even worst aloneAnd how could you be so coldYou'll get your turn as soon as you turn oldAll they ask of every personThey try to figure out what's on the mind of a brother when he's cursing9 out of 10 you'll find the problems, time to take a listen and see what you could do to solve themCause everybody needs a little help on the way to relying on one's selfSo think about it... why 2Pac hit cha, hit cha with a little ghetto gospelMy Ghetto GospelHookVerse 4: 2PacI was a stone cold gangsta manUntil you gave me ghetto gospel, I thank you manUsed to roll in the back and do drugs a lotNow I'm bangin' these tracks, slanging rhymes I gotIn this world of greed tryin' to succeed on my beliefsNow I lay me down to sleepLord can you hear me speak?Can you forgive me for my sins?If I had it all to do again, I'd still play to winI hope the Lord can understand meA man's gotta do what he can for his familyAnd pay the price of being hellboundBut I rather see hell later than see hell nowAnd the devil ain't got nothing on the president, cut back and keep us strapped in our residence and be like animals in cagesWe can rant and rave about slavery for agesOr we can start making positive and hit 'em with a little ghetto gospelMy Ghetto GospelHookIt's ok, its ok, it's ok(my ghetto gospel)It's ok, it's ok, it's ok(my ghetto gospel)It's ok, it's ok, it's ok(my ghetto gospel)It's ok, it's ok, it's ok(fades) Back to: Videos Clips
