Ghetto Religion (feat. R.Kelly)

This goes out to the ghetto

For all the people in the soup lines

Chicago

Because you do anything

Anything if you believe

For God first though

I'll never forget, no no no

That the landlord's at my door

I heard him saying, ‽Tomorrow, no more"

Ey, pay me now or leave

(Get the hell up out of here, come on)

He didn't care, no, that we didn't have anything to eat

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

Ah, can you feel me

Searching for restoration

(Yeah, we need restoration)

Lord, make the church my family, please

Hey, this is my story, this is my song

And I could sing it all night long, I tell you why

Because

Ghetto is a part of my religion

(The only thing my eyes can see)

It's the only thing my eyes could see

(And I tell you there ain't no man)

And ain't no man gonna stop of the vision

(Because I'm a part of the ghetto, ha-ha)

The ghetto is a part of me

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

So I bought, I bought

Children cry no more

(So children cry no more)

Because heron's in store

(Yo', I'm pray for you, pray for me)

Please, put your guns, Lord, know

And then it's all over gone

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

What

(What)

Though your Load may be heavy, yeah

(Come on)

Know that the weight makes you strong, yeah

(It's the truth, it's the truth though)

Take my life for example

While I sing my song

Ghetto is a part of my religion

(Yeah, we talk about the ghetto)

It's the only thing my eyes could see

(It's the only thing my eyes can see)

And ain't no man gonna stop of the vision

(Ain't no man, ain't no man, ain't no man, no no)

The ghetto is a part of me

(Lift up every voice and sing, yeah)

Ghetto is a part of my religion

(And it's all my eyes can see)

Only thing my eyes could see

(And I tell you there is no man, no)

And ain't no man gonna stop of the vision

(I'm a part of the ghetto)

The ghetto is a part of me

If you feel me now then say

(La da da da da da da da)

Feel so good, so good, yeah

Yeah, we talk about the ghetto

(La da da da da da da)

Oh, yeah

Oh man, yeah

(La da da da da da da da)

I'm a part of the ghetto

(The ghetto is a part of me)

Ghetto is a part of my religion
