Shavar - Ghetto Gospel (feat. ZoHendrix)

Grandma house is day care
We ain't have no day care
Punk as police come around
You know the never play fair
Caught us by inches
By selling crack by the benches
We force now to do theses sentence
Like what about all the children
The project mommas
Making these project children
That turn into project niggas
Who can't see past project building
I know the lord is with me
The reaper he trying to get me
Now put your hands together
Let's take on this world together

Man we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it through the storm
I treat like the norm
I've been on
We gonna be on
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle

Could never settle
Left hand on the metal
Right hand up to God
God or guns
That's a tough decision why those choices hard
I pray to God every day in my room as I roll reefer
I don't want a Mona Lisa I wannna queen like Latifah
They say the streets need a Teacher
I say the streets need a leader
I can't respect no man who is a woman beater
In the streets we will meet you
And beat you out of your sneakers
If you don't take care your kids
You should gone get swept with the sweeper
Now what do you do
Now what's the business is
Didn't you hear the preaching black leadership I'm talking black businesses
I'm talking businesses and partnerships
Bigger than this artist shit
Open up some schools
And I'm handing out some scholarships
Don't ever feel like you can't do nothing in this life time I promise you
You put you mind to it
Put your grind to it
Then you shine through it
I am V.A.R all the way from Brooklyn Starrett city
And you know you know we

Man we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it through the storm
I treat like the norm
I've been on
We gonna be on
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle

I seen church boys turn into monsters
I've seen nerds turn into mobsters
me know imposters
I wanna be peaceful like Martin
but fight like Malcolm
But to be honest God knows my outcome
I'm Floating in the fountain of youth
I'm Searching for the truth like sojourner
From my mistakes became an learner
I'm concerned now where the worlds going
Racism ain't dying it's going and growing and flowing
Over the fountain of knowledge
I Acknowledge I'm a scholar before college I've learned Ebonics
The school of hard knocks
Seen my family on rocks
Now they're in church's praying to God for forgiveness
This ghetto gospel Zo

Man we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
Yea we made it through the storm
I treat like the norm
I've been on
We gonna be on
Yea we made it out the ghetto
A nigga had to hustle
I could never settle
I would never settle
