[Intro: Real Prophecy]
It's all about mind elevation... You can make it
[Verse 1: Real Prophecy]
I want the fast dollars; this past August I asked God if
To make it do I have to past college?
My rap style is past novice; that's obvious
Now my cash pile is the same amount as my gas mileage
So many people die from road rage, full blown AIDS
But if I die I wanna die from old age
I wouldn't call it the ghetto but I am from a place among thugs
I never hung with young bloods or slung d** but I once was
A helpless teen trapped in someone else's dream; stressed I couldn't help but scream
It seems I had to check my self-esteem
Kept my belief in the bible, evil people are spiteful
Every clique has a Judas; he was Jesus disciple
Snake I trust that you should know
If I don't trust myself, you think imma put trust in another human soul?
Tried to cancel my plans to get the paper
First on my list, get my mom that mansion in Jamaica
Cuz Badman Forward Badman Pull up
Listen Shut up; Jamaicans we started the term "Tun Up"
Pardon me if you think I'm mean and you could argue me with your disagreements but I ain't sorry for your inconvenience
I always wondered where the love in Broward at
And if you came from nothing like me be proud of that
Man I love to see my people making progress
Especially if you made it out the projects, God Bless
[Hook 1: Real Prophecy]
Ghetto youth, ghetto children
And ghetto youth, ghetto children
It's all about mind elevation, time is a wasting and you could do it
(Repeat)
[Verse 2: Real Prophecy]
On my galactical cruise, my arm stronger than Louis
I am Hip Hop's Satchmo blues
Laughed at you cuz more than half of you sold your souls for green bucks
But does it mean much getting your hopes and dreams crushed?
They tried to slay a thousand rebels
But elevate your mind and try to make it out the ghetto
Real talk man
Don't let your surroundings stop you from doing everything
You can do it.. Just put your mind to it
[Hook 2: Real Prophecy]
Ghetto youth, ghetto children
And ghetto youth, ghetto children
It's all about mind elevation, time is a wasting and you could do it
(Repeat)
