Ghetto Gospel [Dj One Remix]

[ DJ One Remix]

[Verse 1, 2Pac]

If I could recollect before my hood days

I'd sit, reminisce thinking a bliss of the good days

I stop and stare at the younger

My heart goes to 'em

They tested it was stress that they under

We never really went through that

Cause we was born B.C. - you and me before crack

And nowadays things changed

Everyone's ashamed of the youth cause the truth look - strange

And for me it's reversed

We left them a world that's cursed and it - hurts

Cause any day they'll push the button

And all condemned like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothing

Don't it make em get teary

The world looks dreary

But when you wipe your eyes see it clearly

There is no need for you to fear me

If you take the time to hear me

Maybe you can learn to cheer me

It ain't about black or white cause we're human

I hope we'll see the light before it's ruined

My Ghetto Gospel

(Chorus, Akon)

Who ever said that this trouble would stop today

A lot of niggas get locked away

Teenage women growing up with AID's

Cause that's the life when your living in the

Ghetto

Ohh eating in the

Ghetto

Ohh sleeping in the

Ghetto

That's the life when your living in the

Ghetto

Ohh eating in the

Ghetto

Ohh sleeping in the

Ghetto

[Verse 2, 2Pac]

Tell me do you see that old lady ain't it sad

Living out of bags but she's glad for the little things she has

And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy, well guess who's giving birth to a baby

I don't trip to let her fade me

From outta the frying pan we jump into another form of slavery

And even now I get discouraged

I wonder if they take it all back will I still keep the courage?

I refuse to be a role model

I say ghost take control drink out my own bottles

I make mistakes but learn from everyone

And when it's said and done

I bet this brother will 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 brains when I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his thing

But am I less holy?

Cause I choose to puff a blunt, and drink a beer with my homies

Before we find world peace

We gotta find peace there's a war in the streets

My Ghetto Gospel

(Chorus, Akon)

Who ever said that this trouble would stop today

A lot of niggas get locked away

Teenage women growing up with AID's

Cause that's the life when your living in the

Ghetto

Ohh eating in the

Ghetto

Ohh sleeping in the

Ghetto

That's the life when your living in the

Ghetto

Ohh eating in the

Ghetto

Ohh sleeping in the

Ghetto

Gun shot every night in the

Ghetto

Crooked cops on side in the

Ghetto

Everyday is fight in the

Ghetto

Oh oh oh oh oh

Ghetto

Got kids to feed in the

Ghetto

Sellin coke and weed in the

Ghetto

Everyday somebody bleed in the

Ghetto

Oh oh oh oh oh

Ghetto
