[Intro]
"Do you think music has a meaning?"
"Oh yeah, definitely, it's good to be more spiritual some than anything.
 Pretty soon I believe that we're gonna have to rely on music
 to, uh, like, get some kinda peace of mind or satisfaction.
 Direction, actually, more so than politics."

[Saigon]
Uh-huh, true shit

Stop, rappin like you tough nigga
Start a label now you actin like you Puff nigga? That'll get you snuffed nigga
I went from gangsta to good guy, you gotta love it
And if I had a heart this would come from the bottom of it
Go 'head talk shit on the blog dawg, I can snub it
But what's gon' happen is clappin when we collide in public
It's still conscious but this time it's hostile
This time I'm hittin these niggaz with street

[P. Jericho] + (Saigon)
Street gospel (uh-huh)
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils (breathe in, uh)
I am an evangelist - teach
Dream or be a realist - seek
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I'ma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit 'em with a little bit of street gospel (the renegade's renaissance)
I've got the street gospel (the renegade's renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (go 'head)
Oh Lord oh Lord - oh Lord
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospel

[Saigon]
Now that Chief Keef fly, they gon' 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 why why?)
I said Jimmy, who you got speakin at these marketin meetings?
Why do poor people the talk that they seekin?
When all they promotin is sex and violence and this office is keepin
They got the things to keep they heart from beatin (pow)
Tellin the kid that sellin drugs'll make his life less hard cause he's eatin
Like sayin he can get through all it by cheatin
It's just not a reality, Interscope's thrivin
Cause they givin us +Swimming Pools+ of liquor to dive in
Gave us N.W.A., Game, the gangbanging lane
But now this lil' nigga "bang bang"
He said "Saigon, you got it wrong, I'm just a guy to make it possible"
To what?

[P. Jericho] + (Saigon)
To hit 'em with a little bit of street gospel
Ohhhhh yeah yeah~!
I've got the street gospel (the renegade's renaissance)
Do you want the street gospel? (renegade's renaissance)
Oh Lord oh Lord - oh Lord
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospel

[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 infectin the kids
In these ghettos they kids'll never live, but mine are subjected to this?
Nah, I can't see that happenin
'Specially with a nigga like ME that's rappin (what?)
He who is not packin is he that's lackin
I'm ready if you ever wanna see that action
Gotta understand I'm not the kind of a man
who allow a dude to be rude and take some food out of my hand
Got a devise a plan to show 'em that I'ma stand
my ground, try and bring me down like tryin drown Aquaman
And, I can't see that happenin
'Specially with a nigga like ME that's clappin
Saigon graduated from your puppet to apostle
I was born to hit my people with street

[P. Jericho] + (Saigon)
Street gospel (oh, Lord!)
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrils (breathe in)
I am an evangelist - teach
Dream or be a realist - seek (uh-huh)
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I'ma cut these words to the people I reach
Hit 'em with a little bit of street gospel (the renegade's renaissance)
I got the street gospel (renegade's renaissance)
Yeah, do you want the street gospel?
Oh-ohhh, oh Lord oh Lord - oh Lord
Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospel
