[Intro — Urban Choir (sustained harmonies, clave tick)
(Choir) Ahhh — Ghetto Gospel
(Choir) Ahhh — Ghetto Gospel
(Ad-lib, short) Listen! Yah!
[Verse 1 — Male (2Pac‑inspired cadence, clipped)]
Hit 'em with my ghetto gospel now
Walk these city streets, I speak the truth
Red sun sinks, the horizon folds
Peace for the young warrior's youth
No more thunder, no more guns (yah)
Clock ticks fast but still we move slow
I breathe the past, I spit the hope
Short lines, sharp truth — breathe, reload
[Pre‑Chorus — Male (callouts) / Choir (sustain)]
(Male) Don't fear the voice, come hear the sound
(Choir) We welcome with our hands — (sustain)
(Male) Raise your head, we gonna stand our ground
(Choir) One love, one land — (sustain)
[Chorus — Call & Response (Urban Choir sustains on the hook)]
(Choir — sustained) My Ghetto Gospel (oooh)
(Male) Those who follow, I welcome with my hands
(Choir — sustained) My Ghetto Gospel (aaah)
(Female) Under the red sun, we rise like plans
(Choir) Peace to the young warrior (sustain)
(Male) No more sound of guns — feel the chant
(Choir + Percussive chant under last line) Ghetto — Gospel — clap clap clap
[Ragga Toast Break — Sparse ad‑libs between lines]
(Toaster) Whoa — listen up! (yah)
(Toaster) We chant fi peace! (hey!)
[Verse 2 — Female (unique, rapped‑sung hybrid — signature line)]
They pass her on the corner, bag and coat
She smiles small, keeps a pocket of hope
Baby cries, the block hums a low beat
Triplet steps, my heart stays on its feet
I weave the night with a mirror and word
I’m the sound you never heard — (I turn the quiet into word)
Call me Nyra — I flip the mute to song
Small hands, big prayers, we march along
[Pre‑Chorus — Female reply / Choir lift]
(Female) I hold the flame where the cold grew deep
(Choir) We raise the flame, we never sleep — (sustain)
(Female) Mistakes are maps, we learn from the street
(Choir) Walk with us, walk with us — (sustain)
[Chorus — Call & Response (faster, more bounce)]
(Choir — sustained) My Ghetto Gospel (whoo)
(Male) Those who follow, I welcome with my hands
(Choir — sustained) My Ghetto Gospel (yeah)
(Female) Under the same sky, we make our stand
(Choir) Peace to the young warrior (sustain)
(Male) Hear the choir lift — drums and chant
(Choir + Percussive chant) Ghetto — Gospel — clap clap clap
[Bridge — Duet (syncopated Afrobeat phrasing)]
(Male — triplet feel) Fast lane, hard rain, we keep our stride
(Female — melisma) Soft song, strong bone, we won't divide
(Both) God ain't finished, we still write lines
(Choir) We still write lines — (sustain)
[Ragga Breakdown — Toasts & Ad‑libs]
(Toaster) Turn di volume up — (yah)
(Toaster) One love, one heart — (hey!)
(Short chant underlay) Clap — snap — step — move
[Final Chorus — Full Choir, Lead Trading, big energy]
(Choir — full harmony) My Ghetto Gospel (reach!)
(Male) Follow close, I welcome with my hands
(Choir — full harmony) My Ghetto Gospel (rise!)
(Female) I’m the sound that wakes the sleeping
