Lyrics

Preachers playing foul in the system now, listen now
It's more hating of religious now, ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my **** out
These pigs playing foul in the system now, listen now
Every poor person is a **** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my **** down
How do you expect to live?
Dealing with savages is damaging
Somebody gotta lose although you play to win
You know these **** hate
Despite the color of your face
When I say **** I'm just speaking on your mental state
Life ain't a game if it is I can't participate
Maybe I've changed but my mind is in a different state
Cause now it seems more like a plan
I'm striving for perfection so that's where I begin
Your tallies of peaks and valleys can't describe who I am
This music is therapeutic I define who I am
Through the actions I portray as a man
In combination with impressions I leave
On people through things that I said
I've had it up to here with the bullshit
So when I rap I sound like I'm in a pulpit
Yeah, they say that I be preaching too much
But I know that through the music's how you teach it to us
It's all real
Preachers playing foul in the system now, listen now
It's more hating of religious now, ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my **** out
These pigs playing foul in the system now, listen now
Every poor person is a **** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my **** down
True indeed Chase, they try to get rid of me
But they can't write me off I'm not a charity
That's a parody right? You kidding me
There really ain't no challenge my authenticity
Virtually guarantee me a flawless victory
You kidding me I'm lethal I'm from a
People who was forced into captivity
Original man, that was often a facsimile
I give a little bit more than your metaphors and wack similes
Thousand yard stare say a prayer for my enemy
I'm international half of these rappers laughable
It's tragic how the other half so vaginal
They put the style over substance the concept bother me
My style married my substance and now they living in harmony
But any substance can be abused
Especially when the style is so seductive
The substance consider leaving you
You gotta get back to your essence
Use your gifts and share your presence
Don't count your dollars 'til you count your blessings
Preachers playing foul in the system now, listen now
It's more hating of religious now, ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my **** out
These pigs playing foul in the system now, listen now
Every poor person is a **** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my **** down
