My father's a Pentecostal minister and my uncle was a pimp, a real pimp.
And as a child, those two guys were my mentors and everything I know about how to live life I got from them.
And so I got a new song.
It's going to pay honor [B] and tribute to my father and my uncle.
[Em]
[E] [E] [Em]
[E] My daddy had a [Em] Cadillac, my uncle drove a Ford.
One was Satan's angel and one worked for the Lord.
They had some [Em] heart and wisdom, they both became my teachers.
[E] I was a young disciple of pimps and preachers.
[Em]
[E] The school of life was [Em] open each day I went to [E] class.
When I didn't pay attention, they kicked me in the ass.
They were turning out young [Em] bitches and converting non [E]-believers.
I was learning from the master, pimps and preachers.
One [A] drug me through the darkness, one [E] led me to the light.
One [B] showed me how to love, one taught me how to fight.
[E] I guess you could say I am an [A] overachiever.
[E] And I owe a debt of [B] gratitude to pimps [E] and preachers.
[Em] [E] They kept me under their [Em] wings, but when I passed the [E] test,
they gave me a pinstripe suit and pushed me from the nest.
Now I'm standing on the [Em] corner recruiting hungry [E] seekers.
I'm starting a new religion, I call it pimps and [A] preachers.
One drug me through the [E] darkness, one led me to the [B] light.
One showed me how to love, one taught me how to [A] fight.
I guess you could say I am an [A] overachiever.
And [Em] I owe a debt of gratitude [B] to pimps [E] and preachers.
[Em] [E] This is what they told me right here.
You can stand there and do nothing, [Em] but if you want to go far,
[E] don't try to please everybody, be proud of who you are.
Get out there in the [Em] game, don't sit up in the [E] bleachers.
That is the philosophy of pimps and [A] preachers.
One drug me through the [B] darkness, one led me to the light.
One showed me how to [E] love, one taught me how to fight.
