(Intro) Do you think music has a meaning?
Oh, yeah, definitely, itâs good to be more spiritual sooner than anything
Pretty soon I believe that weâre gonna have to rely on music To, uh, like, get some peace of mind, or satisfaction, direction,actually, more so than politics. Uh huh, true shit
(Verse: Saigon)
Stop rappinâ like a tough nigga
Start a label, now you actinâ like you Puff, nigga?!
Thatâll get you stuffed, nigga
From gangsta to good guy, you gotta love it
If I had a heart, this would come from the bottom of it
Go âhead talk shit on the blog, dog, I can snuff it
But whatâs gonâ happen is clappinâ, when we collide in public
You still conscious, but this time itâs hostile
This time Iâm hittinâ these niggas with
(Hook)
Street gospel
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils
I am an evangelist, dream Iâll be a realist
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
Iâmma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Iâve got the street gospel (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
Forgive me for the sins Iâve done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street Gospel
(Verse 2: Saigon)
Now that Chief Keef fly, they gonâ kiss him good-bye
But look how many people had to die
Last night in my dream I seen Mr. Jimmy Iovine
All that I could do is ask him why (why)
I said Jimmy, who you got speakinâ at these marketinâ meetinsâ?
Why do poor people talk what they seeking?
When all they promotinâ is sex and violence and this office is keepinâ
They got the things to keep they heart from beatinâ
Tellinâ the king that sellinâ drugs will make his life less hard
Cuz heâs eatinâ like sayin' he can get through all it by cheatinâ
This is just not a reality, interscopeâs thrivinâ
Cuz they givinâ us swimming pools of liquor to dive in
Gave us N.W.A., Game, the gangbanging lane
And now this lil nigga (bang bang)
He says Saigon, you got it wrong Iâm just the guy who make it possible
(Hook)
To hit em with a lil bit of street gospel
Iâve got the street gospel (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Forgive me for the sins Iâve done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospel
(Verse 3: Saigon)
They said it was imperative for me to be negative
To make a name in the record biz and get the executives
To invest money in music that's infectinâ the kids
In this ghetto their kids will neva live, but mine are subjected to this?
Nah, I canât see that happeninâ
âSpecially with a nigga like me thatâs rappinâ
He who is not packinâ is he that's lackinâ
I'm ready, if you eva wanna see that action
Gotta understand Iâm not the kind of a man
Who allow a dude to be rude and take some food outta my hand
Got a demonic plan, to show em that Iâmma stand
My ground Try and bring me down, like trying drown Aquaman
And, I canât see that happeninâ
âSpecially with a nigga like me thatâs clappinâ
Saigon graduated from your puppet to apostle
I was born to hit my people with
(Hook)
Street gospel
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils
I am an evangelist, dream Iâll be a realist
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
Iâmma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Iâve got the street gospel (The renegadeâs renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
Forgive me for the sins Iâve done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street Gospel
