The first time I listened to the song Ghetto Gospel by: 2pac feat. Elton John, was about 3 years ago when i was sent the song by cousin because i had just become a huge 2pac fan . The song really caught my attention because of the meaning behind the lyrics. The song made me think about how it was written about +10 years ago and how relative all the problems 2pac talks about are still in our society even to this day. Especially these sections of the song really made my think about life.

"Ghetto Gospel"
(feat. Elton John)

......I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em

They tested, it was stressed that they under

In our days, things changed

Everyone's ashamed to the youth cause the truth looks strange

And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts

.......if you take your time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me

it ain't about black or white, cause we're human

I hope we see the light before its ruined

my ghetto gospel

..........I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottles

I make mistakes, I learn from everyone

And when its said and done

I bet this Brotha be a better one

If I'm upset, you don't stress

Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet

I feel his hand on my brain

When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
