Ghetto Religion (feat. R. Kelly)

This goes out to the ghetto

(Refugees) All the people in the soup line

Chicago, you can do anything, anything you believe

Put God first though

I'll never forget, no, no, no

That the landlord's at my door

I heard him sayin' "Tomorrow no more, ay

Pay me now or leave"

(Hell up outta here) He didn't care, no

That we didn't have anything to eat

Ah, can you feel me?

Searching for restoration, Lord, make the church my family

This is my story, this is my song and I can sing it all night long

I tell you why, because the ghetto is a part of my religion

The only thing my eyes can see

It's the only thing my eyes can see

Can I tell you? There ain't no man

Ain't no man gon' stop the vision

'Cause I'm a part of the ghetto

The ghetto is a part of me

So I fall, so I fall

Children, cry no more

Because Heaven in store, yeah

Please put down your guns, Lord, no

And let us all overcome

Though your load may be heavy, yeah

Know that the weight makes you strong

Yeah, take my life, for example

While I sing my song

The ghetto is a part of my religion

Ay, we talk about the ghetto

It's the only thing my eyes can see

It's the only thing my eyes can see, yeah

Ain't no man gon' stop 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

The ghetto is a part of my religion

And it's all my eyes can see

The only thing my eyes can see

Only thing my eyes

And I tell you there's no man, no

And ain't no man gon' stop the vision

No, no, no, n-n-no

I'm a part of the ghetto

The ghetto is a part of me

If you feel me now, then sing

Sounds so good, so good, yeah

We talk about the ghetto

Oh, yeah

Yeah

I'm a part of the ghetto

The ghetto is a part of me

Ghetto is a part of my religion
