Street Gospel (ft. P Jericho) [prod. Deli Beats] Lyrics


"Do you think music has a meaning?"
"Oh, yeah, definitely, it's good to be more spiritual sooner than anything.
Pretty soon I believe that we're gonna have to rely on music
to, uh, like, get some peace of mind, or satisfaction, direction, actually, more so than politics."
"Uh huh, true shit
Stop rappin' like a tough nigga
Start a label, now you actin' like you Puff, nigga?!
That'll get you stuffed, niggaI went From gangsta to good guy, you gotta love it and
If I had a heart, this would come from the bottom of itGo 'head talk shit on the blog, dog, I can snuff itBut what's gon' happen is clappin', when we collide in publicYou still conscious, but this time it's hostile
This time I'm hittin' these niggas with
Street gospel
Listen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrilsI am an evangelist, dream I'll be a realist
I speak the truth, preach to the streets
I'mma cut these words to the people I reachHit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)I've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street GospelNow that Chief Keef fly, they gon' kiss him good-bye
But look how many people had to dieLast night in my dream I seen Mr. Jimmy IovineAll that I could do is ask him why (why)I said Jimmy, who you got speakin' at these marketin' meetins'?Why do poor people talk what they seeking?
When all they promotin' is sex and violence and this office is keepin'
They got the things to keep they heart from beatin'Tellin' the king that sellin' drugs will make his life less hard

Cuz he's eatin' like sayin' he can get through all it by cheatin'This is just not a reality, interscope's thrivin'Cuz they givin' us swimming pools of liquor to dive in
Gave us N.W.A., Game, the gangbanging laneAnd now this lil nigga (bang bang)He says Saigon, you got it wrong I'm just the guy who make it possibleTo hit em with a lil bit of street gospelI've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)Do you want the street gospel? (The renegade's renaissance)Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a little bit of street gospelThey said it was imperative for me to be negativeTo make a name in the record biz and get the executives
To invest money in music that's infectin' the kidsIn this ghetto their kids will neva live, but mine are subjected to this?Nah, I can't see that happenin'
'Specially with a nigga like me that's rappin'He who is not packin' is he that's lackin'I'm ready, if you eva wanna see that actionGotta understand I'm not the kind of a man
Who allow a dude to be rude and take some food outta my handGot to device a plan, to show em that I'mma stand
My ground Try and bring me down, like trying drown AquamanAnd, 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 withStreet gospelListen in with these ears, breathe me in with these nostrilsI am an evangelist, dream I'll be a realistI speak the truth, preach to the streetsI'mma cut these words to the people I reachHit em with a lil bit of street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)I've got the street gospel (The renegade's renaissance)Do you want the street gospel? (Oh Lord, oh Lord)Forgive me for the sins I've done
My cup runneth over with a lil bit of street Gospel

There are at least five artists with this name:

1) Saigon (born Brian Carenard, 1978) is an African-American rapper. Born in Newburgh, New York, He spent his upbringing moving between immediate and extended family members in Spring Valley, New York and Brooklyn as well as parts of New Jersey and Virginia. He cites his mother's inattention towards him due to the new arrival of numerous younger siblings as being the catalyst for his roughly 15-year rebellious period. At age 11 he began selling marijuana and at age 13 he had joined in a neighborhood gang. By the time Saigon reached 15 he had already been involved in at least two shootings for which he received jail time. This would be his home for the majority of the next several years of his life as he was "raised" in the New York Penal System. While incarcerated, he took the stage name Saigon from the influential Vietnam War book “Bloods” by Wallace Terry, which he read while he was serving time in prison.

He is currently signed to Just Blaze's Fort Knox Entertainment record label and is working on his major label debut entitled The Greatest Story Never Told for a November 2006 release, which has now been postponed to a later unannounced date.

He appeared on the second season of the HBO television series Entourage and this is credited as being a big boost to his career to the point where the mainstream U.S. population is beginning to recognize him as opposed to simply his previously small following. He also appears in the third season.

He also performed separate tracks with both Australian hip hop MC Phrase and singer Daniel Merriweather in 2005.

MTV News reported that on January 19th 2006, Saigon was stabbed in the temple with a beer bottle as he left a dinner in the Chelsea section of New York. A man approached Saigon and attempted to steal a chain of his, worth $18,000. When Saigon grabbed it back, a fight started. Saigon, bleeding from the head, tried to hail down a taxi (not wanting to get blood in his Mercedes Benz) but was unable to and drove himself to Bellevue Hospital where he received seventy stitches.

2) Saigon is also the name of an early 80's 3 piece Post-Punk band from Leamington Spa. Their music was released through First Floor Records.


3) Also the name of a Swedish heavy metal band

4) Punk band from orange County California. Released a self-titled EP in 1981.
