Saigon - Street Gospel lyrics

(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 sh** (Verse: Saigon) Stop rappin' like a tough n***a Start a label, now you actin' like you Puff, n***a?! That'll get you stuffed, n***a 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 sh** on the blog, dog, I can snuff it But what's gon' happen is clappin', when we collide in public You still conscious, but this time it's hostile This time I'm hittin' these n***as 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 speakin' at these marketin' meetins'? Why do poor people talk what they seeking? When all they promotin' is s** and violence and this office is keepin' They got the things to keep they heart from beatin' Tellin' the king that sellin' d** will make his life less hard Cuz he's eatin' like sayin' he can get through all it by cheatin' This is just not a reality, interscope's thrivin' Cuz they givin' us swimming pools of liquor to dive in Gave us N.W.A., Game, the g**ning lane And now this lil n***a (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 infectin' the kids In this ghetto their kids will neva live, but mine are subjected to this? Nah, I can't see that happenin' 'Specially with a n***a like me that's rappin' He who is not packin' is he that's lackin' 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 happenin' 'Specially with a n***a like me that's clappin' 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?
