Pimps & Preachers
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 bitches and converting non-believers
I was learning from the masters-
pimps and preachers
One drove me through the darkness; one lead 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 a corner recruiting hungry seekers
I'm starting a new religion, I call it-
pimps and preachers
One drove me through the darkness; one lead 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 drove me through the darkness; one lead 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
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 bitches and converting non-believers
I was learning from the masters-
pimps and preachers
One drove me through the darkness; one lead 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 a corner recruiting hungry seekers

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
