I look around me
And I don't like this place that I see
Someone's scars are in my face
The poison blood of the human race
No jobs no homes and Im so alone
And I don't like this place I see
As I look around me
This is my subway gospel baby
Hear me through the streets of this city
Hear me hear me
This is my subway gospel
I'm preaching underneath of this city
Im teaching with my preaching
And I can see the buildings
Where the saddened people dwell
I see us huddled in our corners
Wrapped up in our shells
So scared of tall the beauty we posses inside
Thinking its all about the outside forgetting all about the inside
And baby its all about the inside
This is my subway gospel baby
Hear me through the streets of this city
Hear me hear me
This is my subway gospel
I'm preaching underneath of this city
Im teaching with my preaching
So I walk on a train
I was just singing a tune
And then this man walked on
Without a home, without his mind
And then he eats a lit match and then a lit cigarette
Self-destruction before my very eyes
And I cry and I cry and die inside
Cause I don't like this place I see...
I look around me
And I don't like this place that I see
Someone's scars are in my face
The poison blood of the human race
No jobs no homes and Im so alone
And I don't like this place I see
As I look around me
This is my subway gospel baby
Hear me through the streets of this city
Hear me hear me
This is my subway gospel
I'm preaching underneath of this city
Im teaching with my preaching
We need vision, we need hope, we need love ya'll yes
We need love ya'll yes
