Ghetto Gospel Lyrics

I come from a place where the dad is a urban legend

The father is a mother it's a black and white world but we love in living color

What a rumble in the jungle with a lot of bullshit among us

But it's even worse when you let it become ya

And how can I adapt and overcome, relax and hold my tongue

When the one who wears the badge is the one with smoking guns

See some officers and ran, because all we know is run

Nigga I can't take a chance I gotta get home to my son

You call it protect and serve but shit I beg to differ

If I ain't know any better I'd say you scared of niggas

Junior gotta hug the block, shoota gotta be a soldier

Y'all stripped us of everything, now you trynna keep our culture

You're the furthest thing from an angel to closest thing to a cobra

Full of corporate gangsters with the intent to destroy us

Extort us abort us however you wanna label that

No signature is required I'm only stating the facts listen

I was more black thought and less of Beanie Sigel

Both are considered a legend but it's too many people

That's incarcerated from playing follow the leader

Pick a different route, I chose the military to keep it legal

Don't follow me go be a better be me

Chase all of your dreams, and put the LEG in Legacy

Just some valuable quotes one day I hope to tell my kids

Praying they don't make the same mistakes I made

And don't forget to spread the ghetto gospel

In my neighborhood it get hostile

Bodies get buried and end up becoming fossils

Success is secondary at the least

We make a living by swimming in the belly of the beast

Make a feast from the bodies of the fallen souls

Twenty four seven the devil's open and heaven's closed

If you know you know, ain't no future in selling dope

You'll lose your soul at the end of the road

Depression or alcohol, you can pick ya poison

Politicians don't involved and we get exploited

If you don't work on your flaws then you won't enjoy it

No beauty in being lost these are stolen moments

The devil is busy don't provoke him

Pay attention to the words and wisdom that I have spoken

if you can't tell by my verse I'm fully focused

Then you have not been paying attention, I'm giving wisdom

I was more black thought and less of Beanie Sigel

Both are considered a legend but it's too many people

That's incarcerated from playing follow the leader

Pick a different route, I chose the military to keep it legal

Don't follow me go be a better be me

Chase all of your dreams, and put the LEG in Legacy

Just some valuable quotes one day I hope to tell my kids

Praying they don't make the same mistakes I made

And don't forget to spread the ghetto gospel
