Ghetto Religion Songtext
von Wyclef Jean feat. R. Kelly

This goes out to the ghetto
For all the people in the soup lines
Chicago
Because you 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"
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
(Yeah, 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
(Because I'm a part of the ghetto, ha-ha)
The ghetto is a part of me
What
(What)
What
(What)
What
(What)
What
(What)
So I bought, I bought
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
Ghetto is a part of my religion
(Yeah, 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)
Only thing my eyes could see
(And I tell you there is no man, no)
And ain't no man gonna stop of the vision
(I′m a part of the ghetto)
The ghetto is a part of me
If you feel me now then say
(La da da da da da da da)
Feel so good, so good, yeah
Yeah, we talk about the ghetto
(La da da da da da da)
Oh, yeah
Oh man, 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
