Street Gospel

(专辑： The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 3: The Troubled Times Of Brian Carenard - 2014)

[Intro:]
"Do you think music has a meaning?"
"Oh, yeah, definitely, it's good to be more spiritual sooner than anything.
Pretty soon I believe that we're gonna have to rely on music
to, uh, like, get some peace of mind, or satisfaction, direction, actually, more so than politics."
"Uh huh, true shit
"
[Verse Saigon:]
Stop rapping like a tough nigga
Start a label, now you acting like you Puff, nigga?!
That'll get you stuffed, nigga
From gangsta to good guy, you gotta love it
If I had a heart, this would come from the bottom of it
Go 'head talk shit on the blog, dog, I can snuff it
But what's gon' happen is clapping, when we collide in public
You still conscious, but this time it's hostile
This time I'm hitting these niggas with

[Hook:]
Street gospel
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils
I am an evangelist, dream I'll be a realist
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I'mma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)
I've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street Gospel

[Verse 2 Saigon:]
Now that Chief Keef fly, they gon' kiss him good-bye
But look how many people had to die
Last night in my dream I seen Mr. Jimmy Iovine
All that I could do is ask him why (why)
I said Jimmy, who you got speaking at these marketing meetins'?
Why do poor people talk what they seeking?
When all they promoting is sex and violence and this office is keeping
They got the things to keep they heart from beating
Telling the king that selling drugs will make his life less hard
Cuz he's eating like saying he can get through all it by cheating
This is just not a reality, interscope's thriving
Cuz they giving us swimming pools of liquor to dive in
Gave us N.W.A., Game, the gangbanging lane
And now this lil nigga (bang bang)
He says Saigon, you got it wrong I'm just the guy who make it possible

[Hook:]
To hit em with a lil bit of street gospel
I've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (The renegade's renaissance)
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospel

[Verse 3 Saigon:]
They said it was imperative for me to be negative
To make a name in the record biz and get the executives
To invest money in music that's infecting the kids
In this ghetto their kids will neva live, but mine are subjected to this?
Nah, I can't see that happening
'Specially with a nigga like me that's rapping
He who is not packing is he that's lacking
I'm ready, if you eva wanna see that action
Gotta understand I'm not the kind of a man
Who allow a dude to be rude and take some food outta my hand
Got a demonic plan, to show em that I'mma stand
My ground Try and bring me down, like trying drown Aquaman
And, I can't see that happening
'Specially with a nigga like me that's clapping
Saigon graduated from your puppet to apostle
I was born to hit my people with

[Hook:]
Street gospel
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils
I am an evangelist, dream I'll be a realist
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I'mma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)
I've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street Gospel
