Various Artists - Gotham City (Remix) lyrics

[R. Kelly] Gotham City for the ghetto, ghetto... Gotham City for the ghetto, ghetto... [R. Kelly talking] Uh yo yo, everybody's talkin' about the good ol' days, the good ol' days Everybody's talkin' about the good ol' days (I remember) Ha, I remember when me and my brother used to sit up on the porch In the summertime and just talk about.. just makin' it Know what I'm sayin' bein' successful and followin' after dreams And uh.. I believe that's every kids dream, ya know what I'm sayin' To rise and be somebody but damn sometimes we just get caught up... [Verse 1: R. Kelly] I ain't got no money and I ain't got no friends Looks like my world is comin' to an end No food on the table, no clothes on my back No shoes on my feet and I just barely gotta used Cadillac Now ain't that ghetto for ya But some how it's got to change yeah, ghetto for ya So I took this remix and rearranged Gotham City, city of love (City of love), a city of peace for everyone of us (For everyone of us) Cause we all need it, can't live without it (Can't live without it) Gotham City for the ghetto, yeah [Verse 2: Strings] Gotham City for the ghetto, that's what I'm talkin' about... Ghetto fabulous, to a n***a health be hazardous If you wanna test wrath in us, for the respect S-T-R-I-N-G-S, yes, f** the rest Give me the best, why should I have to settle for less When I could push V-12's in finesse Wha-wha whew and all that mess You can try to hold me back but I Keep on truckin' till I hit the sky Even if you wanted to ya can't deny Gotta feed baby girl, do or die [Verse 3: R. Kelly] We keep talkin' about escalating (Escalating), well who's gonna go first Guess I'll be the one to step up If you don't follow me it would be the worst Every time something goes down, somebody's cryin' ghetto tears Hope I'm not rainin' on your parade But this is not what's keepin' it real is, now ain't that ghetto for ya But some how it's got to change yeah, ghetto for ya So I took this remix and rearranged a Gotham City City of love (Uh huh, uh, huh, uh huh) A city of peace, for every one of us, oh yeah (That's right) Cause we all need it, can't live without it, oh yeah yeah A Gotham City for the ghetto [Verse 4: Strings] Uh, uh, uh check it out Now motherf**er wanna act surprised Cause you afraid to change and scared to rise That's why ya a** gettin' left behind n***a outta sight, n***a outta mind Cause ain't nobody gonna stop the dream Talk that sh**, lock my cream Negativity ya got to let it go Havin' Gotham City free ya soul [R. Kelly] And we all need it, hey hey hey Gotham City for the ghetto (Gotham City for the ghetto) Yeah (That's right) uh hmmm Callin' on Heaven Send yo love down to the ghetto, uh hmm Talkin' about a land where, oh yeah Where there will be no more cryin' No more cryin' no, oh yeah A place where we can all just get along, yeah And children will sing ghetto love songs (Sing y'all and smile) And a land where, city of love And a land where, for every one of us
