Geto Heaven Part Two

[Intro: Common] Yeah God bless Let the spirit fall fresh Yeah Feel good, y'all Hah Yeah, keep on, yo [Verse 1: Common] Search for love throughout the ghetto Young girls thick, righteousness narrow I got my third eye on the sparrow Want my peoples straight and to rock sweet apparel The mother of my child, we not together Baby, it's the back I got forever The weather talks to us Henrock, the Holy Spirit walks through us Blunted eyes of the youth search for a guide A thug is a lost man in disguise The rise and fall of a nation Even when the buildings tumble, I still stand tall I walk through the valley with a life preserver Feelin' at times that I might just murder Yo, that ain't what I was sent for I want folks to say, "His life, it meant more" Than any car, any rock, or any broad He found ghetto heaven in himself and God Found ghetto heaven in himself and God Found ghetto heaven in himself and God [Chorus] Ghetto heaven Need a little ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto [Verse 2: Common] Love, your happiness don't begin with a man Strong woman, why should you depend on a man? I understand you want a man that's resourceful If he pay your bills, he feel like he bought you Talking to a friend about what love is Her man didn't love her 'cause he didn't love his Hugged her from afar, said what I felt Never find a man 'til you find yourself Time helps mistakes you can learn from One man F'd up, men, you shouldn't turn from Want a certain type of guy, gotta reach a certain point too At that destination, a king will anoint you Going through the storm, anybody seem warm That relationship died for you to be born, you're worth more Than anything you could cop at a store For you to grow, he had to go, so what you stoppin' him for? Not even I could ignore bein' alone is hard Find heaven in yourself and God Find heaven in yourself and God, girl Find heaven in yourself and God [Chorus] Ghetto heaven Need a little ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto [Verse 3: Common] This music is so much bigger than me As far as happy, it's like a trigger to me Dealin' with crab rappers, groupie broads Record execs, at times, it do be hard To choose words, be heard across waters Doin' something you like to support daughters Keepin' your guys from collectin' court orders Conveyin' messages the ancestor brought us Thought of things to say to become the in thing for the day Somehow, that didn't seem the way for me to make it Music is a gift that is sacred I opened it and used it hopin' you could grow to it Whether servant or a surgeon, you gon' go through it Can't imagine going through it without soul music It's like Donnie Hath' helped me see Lonnie's path On my behalf, let's take whole steps towards hotep And show depth as we make people nod Find heaven in this music and God, yeah Find heaven in this music and God, y'all Find heaven in this music and God, it's ghetto heaven, baby [Chorus] Ghetto heaven Need a little ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Need a little ghetto heaven Ghetto heaven Time we got some ghetto heaven Ghetto
