Lyrics for Song: Preacher
Lyrics for Album: The Greatest Story Never Told [2011]
[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
(Preacher!) I'm seein' you man, you doin' your thing
(Preacher!) I see the new shoes, suits and the ring
(Preacher!) Since when are you into bling
A reverend's supposed to lead like Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King
(Preacher!) You more like Pastor Offering
I'ma come down to your church man, how much does it cost again?
(Preacher!) God know a n*gga's strugglin' bad
He know a n*gga probably need whatever he had
(Preacher!) And you insist I give you some 10 percent
(Preacher!) When I can barely even pay my own rent
(Preacher!) I got a old '94 Pontiac
(Preacher!) You ride around this b*tch in a new 'llac
(Preacher!) You used to be hittin' us for some bread
(Preacher!) But instead you hittin' us in the head
(Preacher!) For 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s, 100s
And you tellin' us this cause God want it?
[Chorus: Saigon (Lee Fields)]
(Preacher!) You ain't practicin' what you preach man
(Oh preacher!) No, no - you extortin' us on the weekend
(Robbin, stealin and runnin the game) Uh-huh, uh-huh
(Gettin' filthy rich in God's name)
(Preacher!) You ain't practicin' what you preach man
(Oh preacher!) No, no - you extortin' us on the weekend
(Robbin, stealin' and runnin' the game)
(What a shame! What a shame! What a shame!)
[Interlude: Preacher]
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?
Profits for prophets, I call 'em like I see 'em.
[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
Let me talk 'bout this man, look
(Preacher!) I'm seein' you man, you doin' it big
(Preacher!) Both of your kids becomin' the church jig
(Preacher!) Wife rockin' the $5,000 wig
And she got a big rock on her hand; is y'all runnin' scams?
(Preacher!) And we was f*ckin' dependent on Section 8
(Preacher!) But always had somethin' to put in the collection plate
(Preacher!) It was always so strange, it was odd
to see my mom scratchin' up change to give it to God
(Preacher!) I think we all knew, nobody sayin' sh*t
(Preacher!) You was usin' that to pay your car payment
(Preacher!) We was muh'f*ckin 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 Arsenio Hall it
(Ohhhh!) Make me wanna just snatch you off of the pulpit, this
[Chorus]
[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
Uhh, uhh (Preacher!)
The politician ain't really a politician, he a (Preacher!)
We voted him in to be a leader, but he a (Preacher!)
Promises better living condition
Soon as he get the position switches his disposition
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 f*ckers ain't workin yet
Bloomberg banned cigarettes
Why he ain't ban lettin' policemen beat on n*ggas yet?
Huh? (Preacher!) Y'all know the sh*t that I'm sayin' is true
Sayin' is true (Preacher!) Ignorin' it if it ain't pertainin' to you
But if the (Preacher!) don't walk it like he talk it
Then dammit doggone it that n*gga got some explainin' to do
[Chorus]
[Lee Fields]
It's a shame!
Oh Lord!
Can you see?
[Outro: Saigon]
Yeah! Hah
Know'msayin, no disrespect to nobody
Know'msayin? Y'all muh'f*ckers blaspheming ass n*gga
Use the Lord name in vain, n*gga don't do that sh*t
Y'all n*ggas pimpin' the system
Stop pimpin' the poor people man
Help us out n*gga, we need God for real n*gga
[Lee Fields]
Can you see?
Mr. Preacher!
Hey, it's killin' me!
"Now come on up here so Jesus can put you on a payment plan..."
