[00:01.58]Ghetto  Gospel  Lyrics
[00:02.48]Uh..
[00:02.84]Hit 'em  with  a  little  ghetto  gospel
[00:04.48]Chorus:Elton  John]
[00:06.74]Those  who  wish  to  follow  me （My  ghetto  gospel）
[00:12.75]I  welcome  with  my  hands
[00:14.63]and  the  red  sun  sinks  at  last
[00:19.88]into  the  hills  of  gold
[00:23.90]And  peace  to  this  young  warrior
[00:26.84]Without  the  sound  of  guns
[00:29.10]Verse 1]
[00:29.88]If  I  could  recollect  before  my  hood  days
[00:32.45]I'd  sit  and  reminisce  thinkin  of  bliss  of  the  good  days
[00:34.72]I  stop  and  stare  at  the  younger  my  heart  goes  to 'em
[00:39.88]They  geussed,it  was  stress  that  they  under
[00:43.31]And  nowadays  things  changed
[00:44.77]Everyone's  ashamed  of  the  youth,cuz  the  truth  look  strange
[00:49.22]And  for  me  it's  reversed,we  left  them  a  world  that's  cursed  and  it  hurts
[00:53.88]Cuz  any  day  they'll  push  the  button
[00:56.26]And  all  good  men  like  Malcolm  X  and  Bobby  Hutton  died  for  nottin
[01:00.30]don't  it  make  you  get  teary ,the  world  looks  dreary
[01:02.75]When  you  wipe  your  eyes  see  it  clearly
[01:05.36]There's  no  need  for  you  to  fear  me
[01:07.49]If  you  take  your  time  to  hear  me,maybe  you  can  learn  to  cheer  me
[01:10.80]It  ain't  about  black  or  white,cuz  we're  human
[01:13.74]I  hope  we  see  the  light  before  it's  ruined
[01:15.71]My  Ghetto  Gospel
[01:17.15]Chorus]
[01:17.53]Those  who  wish  to  follow  me （Ghetto  gospel）
[01:22.04]I  welcome  with  my  hands
[01:28.70]and  the  red  sun  sinks  at  last
[01:31.18]into  the  hills  of  gold
[01:32.80]And  peace  to  this  young  warrior
[01:38.02]Without  the  sound  of  guns
[01:39.89]Verse 2]
[01:41.02]Tell  me  do  you  see  that  old  lady,ain't  it  sad?
[01:42.97]Livin  outta  bags,but  she's  glad  for  the  little  things  has
[01:45.97]And  over  there  there's  a  lady
[01:49.59]Crack  got  her  crazy,guess  who's  givin  birth  to  a  baby
[01:52.18]I  don't  trip  and  let  it  fade  me
[01:55.57]From  outta  the  frying  pan  we  jumpin  to  another  form  of  slavery
[01:58.67]Even  now  I  get  discouraged
[02:01.60]Wonder  if  they  take  it  all  back,will  I  still  keep  the  courage?
[02:04.96]I  refuse  to  be  a  role  model
[02:06.75]I  set  goals,take  control,drink  out  my  own  bottles
[02:10.07]I  make  mistakes  but  learn  from  every  one
[02:12.79]And  when  it's  said  and  done
[02:14.60]I  bet  this  brotha  be  a  better  one
[02:16.72]If  I  upset  you  dont  stress
[02:18.31]Never  forget,that  God  isn't  finished  with  me  yet
[02:22.97]I  feel  his  hand  on  my  brain
[02:24.57]When  I  write  rhymes  I  go  blind  and  let  the  Lord  do  his  thang
[02:27.65]But  im  less  holy?
[02:30.41]Cuz  I  took  a  puff  of  blunt  and  drink  a  beer  with  my  homies
[02:33.60]Before  we  find  world  peace
[02:36.05]We  gotta  find  peace  and  end  the  war  on  the  streets
[02:40.12]My  Ghetto  Gospel
[02:40.73]Chorus]
[02:40.99]Those  who  wish  to  follow  me （Yea,ghetto  gospel）
[02:46.27]I  welcome  with  my  hands
[02:51.75]and  the  red  sun  sinks  at  last
[02:54.02]into  the  hills  of  gold
[02:58.61]And  peace  to  this  young  warrior
[03:00.61]Without  the  sounds  of  guns
[03:08.99]Lord  can  you  hear  me  speak?
[03:10.14]To  pay  the  price  of  being  hell  bound!
