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
