Ghetto Heaven Part 2
Common Lyrics

Searchin for a love, throughout the ghetto
Looking for love in a difficult place and among a diverse group of people

Young girls is thick, righteousness is narrow
There are many physically attractive women in the ghetto but finding someone of good moral character is difficult

I got my third, I want the sparrow
I have achieved some level of success, but I still want more

Want my peoples straight and rock sweet apparrel
I want my community to have better opportunities and more fashionable clothing

The mother of my child, we not together
The mother of my child and I are not currently in a relationship

Baby it's your back, I got forever
I will always support the mother of my child

As the weather, talks to us
Suggesting that the environment/weather can have a profound impact on people’s lives and feelings

Him rockin the Holy Spirit walks through us
The presence of God is felt through a religious figure

The blunted eyes of the youth search for a guide
The young people are misguided due to drug addiction

A thug is a lost man in disguise
A gangster may seem confident and tough but is actually lost

The rise and fall, of a nation, even when the buildings tumble
The nation and its people have suffered through difficulties, such as natural disasters and violence

I still stand tall, I walk through the valley, wit a life preserver
Despite difficulties, I remain strong and optimistic

Feelin at times, that I might just murder
Feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts and emotions

Yo but that aint what I was sent for
I was sent for a greater purpose

I want folks to say his life it meant more
I want to be remembered for making a positive impact in the world

Than ?any ca, any ba ca? any broad
Fame or material possessions do not define my worth

He found Geto Heaven in himself and God
Through faith and self-awareness, he found happiness, despite living in the ghetto

Love, your happiness don't begin wit a man
You do not need a man to be happy

Strong woman, why should you depend on a man
Women should be independent and not rely on men for happiness

If he pay your bills, he feel like he bought you
If a man pays your bills, he may feel entitled to control you

Talkin to a friend, about what love is
Discussing the meaning of love with a friend

Goin through the storm, many bodies stay warm
During difficult times, people may come together for comfort and support

That relationship died, for you to be born, you worth more
Ending a toxic relationship can be painful, but it is necessary for personal growth and finding self-worth

Than anything you could cop in a store
Material possessions are not as valuable as self-love and respect

Find heaven in yourself and God
Happiness can be found within oneself and through faith in God

This music is so much bigger than me
The importance of music is greater than the individual artist creating it

As far as happy, yo it's like a trigger to me
Music has a profound effect on the artist's happiness

Dealin with crab rappers, and groupie broads
Dealing with negative people and sensationalized relationships

Record execs, at times it do be hard
Working with record executives can be challenging

But to choose words, and be heard across waters
Using music to communicate a message across the globe

Doin something you like to support daughters
Creating music to provide for one's family

Conveyin messages that the ancestors brought us
Honoring the messages passed down from ancestors through music

Music is a gift that is sacred
Music should be valued and treated respectfully

Whether servin or a surgeon, you gon go through it
Life is difficult no matter what profession one chooses

It's like Donnie Hath' helped me see Lonnie's path
Being inspired by other musicians and their style

On my behalf, let's take whole steps to Imhotep
Working together to honor and preserve cultural history

And show depth, as we make people nod
Creating music that is both meaningful and enjoyable

Find heaven in this music and God
Music can bring a sense of happiness and fulfillment, along with faith in God
