lirik lagu big trenno - ghetto psalm
[verse 1 – big trenno]
every window got bars, every heart got cracks
we raise kids in the warzone, prayin’ they come back
mama light a candle by the old screen door
while i dodge chalk lines on the liquor store floor
i seen tears in the eyes of men made of flame
even soldiers kneel down when they whisper your name
this the concrete church, no steeple in sight
but we lift our hands high every friday night
we sin to survive, we hustle outta fear
we baptize with blood and swallow back tears
you ever ask the lord why your brother ain’t breathe?
why the rent late but your soul can’t leave?
this that psalm from a ghetto~born choir
where dreams get shot down, but hope don’t expire
[chorus – vee tha poetess (sung, soulful)
this is my ghetto psalm, for the lost and found
for the broken halos in the battleground
if you’re out there, lord, hear my cry
before the block takes me, let me testify
[verse 2 – big trenno]
i watched good girls turn ghost with the needle
and wise men fall for the l~st of the evil
it’s like we cursed in this zip code zone
where your future fit inside a jailhouse phone
my homie had dreams of books and the mic
now he write bars from a cell every night
we ain’t heartless—we just hardened by loss
tryin’ to find heaven from a soul that’s cross
ain’t no priest on the block, just pastors with pistols
every sermon got verses with a loaded missile
so i write this like psalms from a modern scroll
where the scripture is pain, and the paper is soul
[bridge – vee tha poetess (spoken over humming organ)
they call us sinners… but we saints in the storm
made holy by struggle, made clean through the harm…
[chorus – vee tha poetess with big trenno ad~libs]
this is my ghetto psalm, for the lost and found
for the broken halos in the battleground
if you’re out there, lord, hear my cry
before the block takes me, let me testify
(yeah… let me speak… one time for the fallen…)
[verse 3 – big trenno]
so if i die tonight, bury me with no gold
just a tape of this verse and a story untold
let my voice echo through the alley i claimed
where the devils wore khakis and the angels got names
this ain’t just rap, this a prayer in disguise
a song for the kid who got death in his eyes
for the mama with a broom and a bible worn thin
tryin’ to sweep out the demons that her sons bring in
[outro – vee tha poetess (soft harmony)
oh lord… we still believe…
in the light beyond the grief…
this ghetto psalm… we sing it true…
from the shadows… straight to you…
(fades out with soft choir sample and vinyl hiss)
