[Intro]
N.C.
Uh, hit em with a little ghetto gospel
[Chorus]
 GThose who Dwish to Emfollow me   C(my ghetto gospel)
 I Dwelcome with my Ghands
 And the Emred sun Gsinks at last inCto the hills of Ggold
 And Cpeace to this young Gwarrior
 Cwithout the sound of Dguns
[Verse I]
 If EmI could recollGect before my hood dCays
 I sDit and reminEmisce
 Thinking of bGliss and the gCood B7days
 I stEmop and stGare at the Cyounger
 My hDeart goes to Emem
 They tested with stGress that thCey undB7er
 And Emnowadays Gthings chCange
 Everyone's ashDamed of the yEmouth
 'cause the Gtruth lCook, strB7ange
 And Emfor me itG's reversCed
 We left em a wDorld that's cEmursed
 GAnd Cit hB7urts
 'EmCause any dGay they'll push the bCutton
 And aDll come Emin
 like Malcolm GX or Bobby HCutton died for nB7othing
 EmDon't it make you gGet tCeary
 The wDorld looks dEmreary
 When you wGipe your Ceyes see it B7clearly
 TEmhere's no nGeed for you to fear Cme
 If you taDke your time and Emhear me
 Maybe Gyou can lCearn to cB7heer me
 It aEmin't about bGlack or wChite
 'Dcause we hEmuman
 I hope we sGee the liCght before it's rB7uined, my ghetto gospel
[Chorus]
 GThose who Dwish to Emfollow me   C(my ghetto gospel)
 I Dwelcome with my Ghands
 And the Emred sun Gsinks at last inCto the hills of Ggold
 And Cpeace to this young Gwarrior
 Cwithout the sound of Dguns
[Verse II]
 Em  G   C
 D   Em
 G   C   B7
 Tell me do you see that old lady
 Ain't it sad
 Living out of bags
 Plus she's glad for the little things she has
 And over there there's a lady
 Crack got her crazy
 Guess who's giving birth to a baby
 I don't trip or let it fade me
 From out of the fryin' pan
 We jump into 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 brother 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 thing
 But am I less holy
 'Cause I chose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
 Before we find world peace
 We gotta find peace and end the war in the streets
 My ghetto gospel
[Chorus]
 GThose who Dwish to Emfollow me   C(my ghetto gospel)
 I Dwelcome with my Ghands
 And the Emred sun Gsinks at last inCto the hills of Ggold
 And Cpeace to this young Gwarrior
 Cwithout the sound of Dguns
[Instrumental]
repeat until the end
 Em  G   C
 D   Em
 G   C   B7
N.C.
 Lord can you hear me speak
N.C.
 To pay the price of being hellbound
