2pac Ghetto Gospel

“Ghetto Gospel” is a song by rapper Tupac Shakur, which was released as the lead single from his 2004 posthumous album Loyal to the Game. The song was produced by rapper Eminem and samples the 1971 Elton John song, “Indian Sunset”. The single topped the charts in the United Kingdom (for 3 weeks),^[2] Australia, Czech Republic, and the Republic of Ireland. In New Zealand, it peaked at number 3. The song was written by Tupac Shakur as an outcry to “end the war on the streets”, addressing the futility of racial difference and dissidence, particularly under the unifying banner of poverty. He also pays tribute to murdered black activists Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton in the song. – Wikipedia

Lyrics

[Intro: 2Pac]
Uh, hit ’em with a little ghetto gospel

[Chorus: Elton John]
Those who wish to follow me
(My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
If I could recollect before my hood days
I sit and reminisce, thinkin’ of bliss and the good days
I stop and stare at the younger
My heart goes to ’em, they tested with stress that they under
And nowadays things change
Everyone’s ashamed of the youth ’cause the truth look strange
And for me it’s reversed
We left ’em a world that’s cursed, and it hurts
‘Cause any day they’ll push the button
And all good men like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nothin’
Don’t it make you get teary? The world looks dreary
When you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
There’s no need for you to fear me
If you take your time to hear me
Maybe you can learn to cheer me
It ain’t about black or white, ‘cause we human
I hope we see the light before it’s ruined; my ghetto gospel

[Chorus: Elton John]
Those who wish to follow me
(Ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Tell me, do you see that old lady? Ain’t it sad?
Livin’ out of bag but she’s glad for the little things she has
And over there, there’s a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess who’s givin’ 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 thang
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: Elton John]
Those who wish to follow me
(Yeah, ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sound of guns

[Outro: 2Pac]
Lord, can you hear me speak?
To pay the price of bein’ hellbound
