Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul Gotta be a better way to figure out How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now Every poor person is a nigga now There's gotta be a better way to figure out How to get this paper cause they locking all my niggas down How do expect to live dealing with savages its damaging Somebody gotta lose although you play to win You know these niggas hate despite the color of your face Well I say nigga 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'll begin Your tallies and 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've said I've had it up to here with the bullshit So when I rap I sound like I'm in the 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 Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul Gotta be a better way to figure out How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now Every poor person is a nigga now There's gotta be a better way to figure out How to get this paper cause they locking all my niggas down True indeed Chace, they tried 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 there was often a facsimile I give a little bit more than your metaphors whack 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, their counsel 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 Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul Gotta be a better way to figure out How to be a self savior plus help my niggas out These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now Every poor person is a nigga now There's gotta be a better way to figure out How to get this paper cause they locking all my niggas down
