Lyrics

0:03Uh
0:04Hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel
0:06Chorus: elton john
0:07Those who wish to follow me (my ghetto gospel)
0:11I welcome with my hands
0:17And the red sun sinks at last
0:20Into the hills of gold
0:23And peace to this young warrior
0:26Without the sound of guns
0:28Verse 1
0:29If i could recollect before my hood days
0:31I'd sit and reminisce thinkin of bliss of the good days
0:35I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to 'em
0:39They geussed it was stress that they under
0:42And nowadays things changed
0:44Everyone's ashamed of the youth cuz the truth look strange
0:47And for me it's reversed we left them a world that's cursed and it hurts
0:52Cuz any day they'll push the button
0:57And all good men like malcolm x and bobby hutton died for nottin
1:00Don't it make you get teary the world looks dreary
1:04When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
1:06There's no need for you to fear me
1:08If you take your time to hear me maybe you can learn to cheer me
1:11It ain't about black or white cuz we're human
1:14I hope we see the light before it's ruined
1:16My ghetto gospel
1:17Chorus
1:17Those who wish to follow me (ghetto gospel)
1:23I welcome with my hands
1:29And the red sun sinks at last
1:32Into the hills of gold
1:34And peace to this young warrior
1:38Without the sound of guns
1:39Verse 2
1:41Tell me do you see that old lady ain't it sad
1:43Livin outta bags but she's glad for the little things has
1:47And over there there's a lady
1:49Crack got her crazy guess who's givin birth to a baby
1:53I don't trip and let it fade me
1:55From outta the frying pan we jumpin to another form of slavery
1:59Even now i get discouraged
2:01Wonder if they take it all back will i still keep the courage
2:05I refuse to be a role model
2:07I set goals take control drink out my own bottles
2:11I make mistakes but learn from every one
2:13And when it's said and done
2:15I bet this brotha be a better one
2:17If i upset you don't stress
2:19Never forget that god isn't finished with me yet
2:23I feel his hand on my brain
2:25When i write rhymes i go blind and let the lord do his thang
2:29But i'm less holy
2:31Cuz i took a puff of blunt and drink a beer with my homies
2:34Before we find world peace
2:37We gotta find peace and end the war on the streets
2:41My ghetto gospel
2:41Chorus
2:42Those who wish to follow me (yea ghetto gospel)
2:47I welcome with my hands
2:52And the red sun sinks at last
2:55Into the hills of gold
2:58And peace to this young warrior
3:01Without the sounds of guns
3:08Lord can you hear me speak
3:23To pay the price of being hell bound
Uh
Hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel
Chorus: elton john
Those who wish to follow me (my ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns
Verse 1
If i could recollect before my hood days
I'd sit and reminisce thinkin of bliss of the good days
I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to 'em
They geussed  it was stress that they under
And nowadays things changed
Everyone's ashamed of the youth  cuz the truth look strange
And for me it's reversed  we left them a world that's cursed and it hurts
Cuz any day they'll push the button
And all good men like malcolm x and bobby hutton died for nottin
Don't it make you get teary   the world looks dreary
When you wipe your eyes see it clearly
There's no need for you to fear me
If you take your time to hear me  maybe you can learn to cheer me
It ain't about black or white  cuz we're human
I hope we see the light before it's ruined
My ghetto gospel
Chorus
Those who wish to follow me (ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns
Verse 2
Tell me do you see that old lady  ain't it sad
Livin outta bags  but she's glad for the little things has
And over there there's a lady
Crack got her crazy  guess who's givin birth to a baby
I don't trip and let it fade me
From outta the frying pan we jumpin to another form of slavery
Even now i get discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back  will i still keep the courage
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals  take control  drink out my own bottles
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it's said and done
I bet this brotha be a better one
If i upset you don't stress
Never forget  that god isn't finished with me yet
I feel his hand on my brain
When i write rhymes i go blind and let the lord do his thang
But i'm less holy
Cuz i took a puff of blunt and drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace and end the war on the streets
My ghetto gospel
Chorus
Those who wish to follow me (yea  ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sounds of guns
Lord can you hear me speak
To pay the price of being hell bound
