Does Heaven Got A Ghetto

Yeah, I gotta know... Where do my people go? Is there a place for us up high? Or do we just fade when we die? Growing up in the struggle, block full of pain Streetlights flicker, blood stains the pavement Homies gone too soon, locked or dead Names on walls, prayers unsaid We hustle to survive, no safety net Dodging bullets, can't forget But tell me, Lord, when we break those chains Is there peace after all this pain? Does Heaven got a ghetto? A place where the streets don't echo With gunshots, sirens, and sorrow Where we see brighter tomorrows Can my people finally breathe? No more wars, no more grief Tell me, does Heaven got a ghetto? I need to know before I let go Do angels wear hoodies and kicks? Do they bump Tupac in the mix? Can my homies sip without stress Without a badge pressed to their chest? Is there a park where kids can play Without fear they'll be taken away? I ain't asking for gold or a throne Just a place we can finally call home Does Heaven got a ghetto? A place where the streets don't echo With gunshots, sirens, and sorrow Where we see brighter tomorrows Can my people finally breathe? No more wars, no more grief Tell me, does Heaven got a ghetto? I need to know before I let go If Heaven ain't got a place for us Then who gon' lift up our dust? We built these blocks, paid our dues We deserve peace after all we've been through Does Heaven got a ghetto? A place where the streets don't echo With gunshots, sirens, and sorrow Where we see brighter tomorrows Can my people finally breathe? No more wars, no more grief Tell me, does Heaven got a ghetto? I need to know before I let go
