2Pac - Ghetto Gospel(2004)

[00:02.09] Uh, hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel
[00:06.78] Those who wish to follow me
[00:11.32] (My ghetto gospel)
[00:13.02] I welcome with my hands
[00:17.38] And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
[00:22.88] And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns
[00:29.20] If I could recollect before my hood days
[00:31.70] I'd sit and remanence thinkin' of bliss of the good days
[00:35.86] I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to 'em
[00:38.93] They tested with stress that they under
[00:41.86] And nowadays things change
[00:43.92] Everyone's ashamed of the youth
[00:45.85] 'Cause the truth look strange, and for me it's reversed
[00:49.65] We left them a world that's cursed and it hurts
[00:53.78] 'Cause any day they'll push the button and all good men
[00:56.67] Like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothin'
[00:59.66] Told 'em they could get teary the world looks dreary
[01:03.17] When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
[01:05.96] There's no need for you to fear me
[01:07.52] If you take your time to hear me
[01:09.41] Maybe you can learn to cheer me
[01:11.65] It ain't about black or white, 'cause we're human
[01:14.14] I hope we see the light before it's ruined
[01:16.58] My ghetto gospel
[01:18.05] Those who wish to follow me
[01:23.09] (Ghetto gospel)
[01:24.62] I welcome with my hands
[01:29.18] And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
[01:35.33] And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns
[01:40.58] Tell me, do you see that old lady, ain't it sad?
[01:43.55] Livin' outta bags but she's glad for the little things she has
[01:47.53] And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
[01:51.07] Guess who's givin' birth to a baby?
[01:53.57] I don't trip and let it fade me
[01:55.35] From outta the fryin' pan, we jump into another form of slavery
[01:59.86] Even now I get discouraged
[02:01.36] Wonder, if they take it all back
[02:03.15] Will I still keep the, courage?
[02:05.66] I refuse to be a role model
[02:07.52] I set goals, stay in control, drink out my own bottles
[02:11.19] I made mistakes, but learn from every one
[02:13.43] And when it's said and done
[02:14.95] I bet this brother be a better one
[02:17.15] If I upset you don't stress
[02:19.28] Never forget that God isn't finished with me yet
[02:23.23] I feel His hand on my brain
[02:25.02] When I write rhymes, I go blind and let the Lord do His thing
[02:28.95] But am I less holy, 'cause I chose to puff a blunt
[02:32.80] And drink a beer with my homies
[02:35.68] Before we find world peace
[02:37.77] We gotta find peace and end the war in the streets
[02:40.32] My ghetto gospel
[02:41.63] Those who wish to follow me
[02:45.42] (Yeah, ghetto gospel)
[02:47.81] I welcome with my hands
[02:52.49] And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
[02:58.91] And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns
[03:08.53] Lord, can you hear me speak?
[03:22.57] To pay the price for bein' hell bound
[03:51.85]
