Ghetto Religion Songtext

von R. Kelly

This goes out to the ghetto
For all the people in the soup lines
Chicago
{You can 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? (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 {Said 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 ('Cause I'm a part of the ghetto, ha-ha)
The ghetto is a part of me {So I fall, So I fall}

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)
{Mr. Kelly, let me help you sing your song}

Ghetto is a part of my religion {Ey, 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}
It's the only thing my eyes could see {And I tell you there's no man, no, no}
And ain't no man gonna stop of the vision {No, no, no, no} (I'm a part of the ghetto)
The ghetto is a part of me {If you feel me now then sing}

La da da da da da da da (Feel so good, so good, so good, yeah) {We talk about the ghetto}
La da da da da da da (Oh, yeah) {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
