*Ghetto Psalm* - Aphrodite Starr

LYRICS:
[SPOKEN] Lord, please hear our prayers. It's crazy out here you know, it's almost like... I dunno....
it's almost like the streets are eatin us up out here.

On the streets, another brother falls. We got another one lined right up to catch the ball.
He's on the street, he's sellin' white. His girl's prayin' that he comin' home alive tonight.

[Hook] When will we drop the flags from our pockets and hold up our hands...to a new dawn?
Cuz it won't be long, before we're all gone, no. God knows. This is my Ghetto Psalm.

[Bridge] [Spoken] As we're walking down these streets, we, pray the Lord our souls to keep. Please don't let more mothers weep, just, bring us home alive tonight. As we're walking down these streets, we, pray the Lord our souls to keep. Please, don't let no more mothers weep, just, bring us home alive tonight.

On the streets, another mother cries. Her only child fell victim to this web of lies. He chased the ice, he paid the price; caught a bullet. (newscaster: and there was another drive-by shooting today downtown, it appears to be gang-related) Sadly this aint no surprise.

[Hook] When will we drop the flags from our pockets and hold up our hands...to a new dawn?
Cuz it won't be long, before we're all gone, no. God knows. This is my Ghetto Psalm.

[Bridge] [Spoken] As we're walking down these streets, we, pray the Lord our souls to keep. Please don't let more mothers weep, just, bring us home alive tonight. As we're walking down these streets, we, pray the Lord our souls to keep. Please, don't let no more mothers weep, just, bring us home alive tonight.

On the streets, another daughter's gone. Last we seen her she was fiendin' with track marks on her arms. Nobody cares, there's no distress. All they say is: "she was bound to end up just like the rest."

[Hook] When will we drop the flags from our pockets and hold up our hands...to a new dawn?
Cuz it won't be long, before we're all gone, no. God knows. This is my Ghetto Psalm.

Do I need to pull your arms out your sockets to make you understand, that it won't be long, before we're all gone? Gotta stop living wrong, no, God, oh.... help them hear my Ghetto Psalm.

Amen.
