Ghetto Religion (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
