Saigon, P. Jericho - Street Gospel lyrics

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

Stop rappin’ like a tough nigga
Start a label, now you actin’ like you Puff
Nigga? That’ll get you snuffed, nigga
I went from gangsta to good
Guy you gotta love it and if I had a heart
This would come from the bottom of it
Go ‘head talk shit on the blog, dog
I can snub it
But what’s gon’ happen is clappin’
When we collide in public
It's still conscious
But this time it’s hostile
This time I’m hittin’ these niggas with

Street gospel listen in with these ears
Breathe me in with these nostrils
(breathe in) i am an evangelist
(teach) , dream, I’ll be a realist (seek)
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I’mma cut these words to the people I reach
You hit ‘em with a little
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
Little bit of street Gospel

Now that Chief Keef fly
They gon’ kiss him goodbye
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 speakin’ at
These marketin’ meetins’?
Why do poor people the target they seeking?
When all they promotin’ is sex and
Violence and this office is creepin’
They got the things to keep
Your heart from beatin’ (pow)
Tellin’ a kid that sellin’ drugs will
Make his life less hard
‘Cause he’s eatin’ like sayin' he can
Get through all it by cheatin’
This just not a reality interscope’s thrivin’
‘Cause they givin’ us swimming pools
Of liquor to dive in
Gave us NWA, Game, the gangbanging lane
And now this lil’ nigga (bang bang)
He says, "Saigon
You got it wrong i’m just the
Guy that make it possible" (To what?)

To hit ‘em with a little 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
Little bit of street Gospel

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 infectin’ the kids
In this ghetto, they kids’ll never live
But mine are subjected to this?
Nah, I can’t see that happenin’
‘Specially with a nigga like
Me that’s rappin’
He who is not packin’ is he that's lackin’
I'm ready, if you ever 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 devise a plan to
Show ‘em that I’mma stand
My ground try and bring me
Down like tryna drown Aquaman
And I can’t see that happenin’
‘Specially with a nigga like
Me that’s clappin’
Saigon graduated from your puppet to apostle
I was born to hit my people with

Street gospel listen in with these ears
Breathe me in with these nostrils
(breathe in) i am an evangelist
(teach) , dream, I’ll be a realist (seek)
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I’mma cut these words to the people I reach
You hit ‘em with a little
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
Little bit of street Gospel
