Killer Mike - Ghetto Gospel

[00:01.26] And I'm sitting on the edge of my bed holding my head
[00:05.18] Trying to make this cake like a baker
[00:06.99] And get some bread
[00:08.47] My mama said hustlin' does come with feds
[00:11.00] Time do the crime you better had be prepared
[00:14.03] For what comes with it the killing the court convictions
[00:16.71] Snorting, bitches, the snitches often they get acquitted
[00:19.81] While the real sent to prison, to rot away while they living
[00:22.48] And all because I say dope shit they on a mission
[00:25.50] To nail my black ass to the wall with a conviction
[00:28.45] I pray the Lord hear me but really Lord is ya listenin'
[00:31.45] Praying when I'm in trouble I'm speaking with forked tongue
[00:34.25] I say I'm out the game but I'm flinching like George Jung
[00:37.06] I must be in the clutches of Satan it's all warm
[00:39.98] My mama took you to the "root lady" to read my palm
[00:42.82] She puts beads on my neck saying they protecting me from harm
[00:45.72] But fuck this old witch, I went and got a gun
[00:48.43] Oh Lord, Jesus, glory
[00:53.98] Oh Lord
[00:59.73] Oh Lord, Jesus, glory
[01:05.70] Oh Lord
[01:08.62] Oh Lord
[01:11.63] Looking at the bezel of my Breitling
[01:14.08] Thinking that I used to sell raps for enlightenment
[01:16.87] But I got lapped by them guys selling lies for the white man
[01:20.35] Now I sell pies for the white man
[01:22.69] And my tour bus is a moving indictment
[01:25.33] This must be how Huey felt when the revolution failed
[01:28.27] And in Oakland nigga turned him on to a sack of yayo
[01:31.56] You know this feeling's false but it feels like yeah
[01:34.15] I may have lost my cause but not a reason to rebel
[01:36.73] Revolutionary or drug dealer I'm in jail
[01:39.85] And the C.O.'s call me nigga either way when I'm there
[01:42.84] Just like they did Pac
[01:44.10] Just like they do Mumia
[01:45.96] Just like they doing to Mutulu or Assata if they see her
[01:48.77] And ain't no justice if it's just us in court
[01:51.51] For my folk and my people free Hoover, free Fort
[01:54.58] The Lord never break us if we all on one accord
[01:57.35] You know it
[01:57.81] Oh Lord, Jesus, glory
[02:03.03] Oh Lord
[02:09.11] Oh Lord, Jesus, glory
[02:15.07] Oh Lord
[02:21.29] Even as I'm standing here iceless Mike is priceless
[02:25.09] Women with me prettier than Isis
[02:27.50] Don't know if she black or a white chick
[02:29.42] But I know this pussy and excitement
[02:31.23] Gonna lead to indictments
[02:32.88] The women and the fame put shade on enlightenment
[02:35.75] I done seen dark days come to many bright men
[02:38.44] I done seen a damn dime fine
[02:40.60] As a fine wine take an Einstein mind
[02:42.89] Leave 'em deaf dumb blind
[02:44.62] Fuckin' with them jezebel whores
[02:46.58] Liars of Delilah even marrying a Pandora
[02:50.15] Pretty parasite she will use ya, this ain't what you used to
[02:53.82] Stone cold bitch she Medusa
[02:55.81] Dope ass pussy might make you an abuser
[02:58.72] You an addict not in love, boy
[03:00.49] Don't get it confused, bruh
[03:01.87] She don't need a boyfriend she just need a booster
[03:04.45] She the devil's pie guy
[03:06.04] You was fucking Lucifer
[03:07.61] Oh Lord, Jesus, glory
[03:12.95] Oh Lord
