|
I'm seein you man, you doin your thing (Preacher!) |
|
I see the new shoes, suits and the ring (Preacher!) |

A reverend's supposed to lead like |
|

Now I didn't come here today for you to take my word as the be all and end all. |
|
You could save that for the preacher, duping folks for what's in their wallets on behalf of the |
|
Lord. They get you making an investment in the afterlife and nobody has come back to let you know what your return would be! |
|
But what's your profit worth? |

|
It was always so strange, it was odd to see my mom scratchin up change to give it to |
|

We was muh'fuckin payin your mortgage |
|
And we was livin in the projects, you know we couldn't afford it (Preacher!) |
|
But that's how you was on it (Preacher!) |
|
You would come to church and talk it but |
|
I doubt you would walk it (Preacher!) |
|
You probably (Come to America) and |
|

|
It's the (Preacher!) |
|
It's not only the guys in the church |
|
But it's the (Preacher!) gotta lie to his worth |
|
How the hell could we survive on this |
|
Earth when y'all come flood the ghetto with guns, drugs and legalize bottles of irk and jerk? |
|
My cousin on |

Percocet, he gave out a murder threat |
|
They caught him, shot up his legs and them fuckers ain't workin yet |
|
Bloomberg banned cigarettes |
|
Why he ain't ban lettin policemen beat on niggaz yet? |
|
Huh? (Preacher!) |
|
Y'all know the shit that |
|

Ignorin it if it ain't pertainin to you |

But if the (Preacher!) don't walk it like he talk it then damnit doggone it that nigga got some explainin to do [Chorus] [Lee Fields] |
