[Intro] N.C. Uh, hit em with a little ghetto gospel [Chorus]
G          D       Em        C
 Those who wish to follow me   (my ghetto gospel)

   D               G
 I welcome with my hands

         Em      G               C               G
 And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold

     C                   G
 And peace to this young warrior

 C                    D
 without the sound of guns
[Verse I]
    Em            G                   C
 If I could recollect before my hood days

    D           Em
 I sit and reminisce

              G             C   B7
 Thinking of bliss and the good days

     Em       G          C
 I stop and stare at the younger

     D            Em
 My heart goes to em

                    G           C     B7
 They tested with stress that they under

     Em       G        C
 And nowadays things change

               D            Em
 Everyone's ashamed of the youth

            G      C       B7
 'cause the truth look, strange

     Em       G        C
 And for me it's reversed

               D            Em
 We left em a world that's cursed

 G   C   B7
 And it hurts

  Em         G                    C
 'Cause any day they'll push the button

      D       Em
 And all come in

              G           C               B7
 like Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nothing

 Em                 G   C
 Don't it make you get teary

      D           Em
 The world looks dreary

           G        C           B7
 When you wipe your eyes see it clearly

  Em         G                   C
 There's no need for you to fear me

          D                Em
 If you take your time and hear me

       G        C        B7
 Maybe you can learn to cheer me

     Em          G        C
 It ain't about black or white

  D         Em
 'cause we human

            G        C                B7
 I hope we see the light before it's ruined, my ghetto gospel
[Chorus]
G          D       Em        C
 Those who wish to follow me   (my ghetto gospel)

   D               G
 I welcome with my hands

         Em      G               C               G
 And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold

     C                   G
 And peace to this young warrior

 C                    D
 without the sound of guns
[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]
G          D       Em        C
 Those who wish to follow me   (my ghetto gospel)

   D               G
 I welcome with my hands

         Em      G               C               G
 And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold

     C                   G
 And peace to this young warrior

 C                    D
 without the sound of guns
[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
