Pimps & Preachers Lyrics
My daddy had a Cadillac
My uncle drove a Ford
One was Satan's Angel
And one worked for the Lord
They had some hard earned wisdom
They both became my teachers
I was a young disciple of
Pimps and preachers
The school of life was open
Each day I went to class
When I didn't pay attention
They kicked me in the ass
They were turning out young b*tches
And converting non-believers
I was learning from the masters
Pimps and preachers
One drug me through the darkness
One led me to the light
One showed me how to love
One taught me how to fight
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
They kept me under their wings
But when I passed the test
They gave me a pinstriped suit
And pushed me from the nest
Now I'm standing on the corner
Recruiting hungry seekers
I'm starting a new religion
I call it pimps and preachers
One drug me through the darkness
One led me to the light
One showed me how to love
One taught me how to fight
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
Stand there and do nothing
But if you want to go far
Don't try to please everybody
And be proud of who you are
Get out there in the game
Don't sit up in the bleachers
That is the philosophy of
Pimps and Preachers
One drug me through the darkness
One led me to the light
One showed me how to love
One taught me how to fight
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
