[00:00.00]Pimps & Preachers - Paul Thorn
[00:10.29]Written by：Paul Thorn
[00:20.59]My daddy had a Cadillac
[00:22.83]My uncle drove a Ford
[00:25.49]One was Satan's angel
[00:28.29]And one worked for the lord
[00:30.47]They had some hard earned wisdom
[00:32.91]They both became my teachers
[00:35.41]I was a young disciple of
[00:38.24]Pimps and preachers
[00:50.72]The school of life was open
[00:53.30]Each day I went to class
[00:55.69]When I didn't pay attention
[00:58.09]They kicked me in the ass
[01:00.67]They were turning out young *****es
[01:02.90]And converting none believers
[01:05.78]I was learning from the masters
[01:08.51]Pimps and preachers
[01:10.85]One drug me through the darkness
[01:13.39]One led me to the light
[01:15.83]One showed me how to love
[01:18.33]One taught me how to fight
[01:20.88]I guess you can say I am an overachiever
[01:27.02]And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
[01:42.51]They kept me under their wings
[01:44.93]But when I passed the test
[01:47.38]They gave me a pinstriped suit
[01:49.92]And pushed me from the nest
[01:52.43]Now I'm standing on the corner
[01:55.13]Recruiting hungry seekers
[01:57.47]I'm starting a new religion
[01:59.28]I call it pimps and preachers
[02:02.56]One drug me through the darkness
[02:05.17]One led me to the light
[02:07.58]One showed me how to love
[02:10.12]One taught me how to fight
[02:12.70]I guess you can say I am an overachiever
[02:18.82]And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
[02:55.95]Stand there and do nothing
[02:58.23]But if you want to go far
[03:00.69]Don't try to please everybody
[03:03.04]And be proud of who you are
[03:05.73]Get out there in the game
[03:08.22]Don't sit up in the bleachers
[03:11.05]That is the philosophy of
[03:13.87]Pimps and preachers
[03:15.62]One drug me through the darkness
[03:18.34]One led me to the light
[03:20.91]One showed me how to love
[03:23.37]One taught me how to fight
[03:25.93]I guess you can say I am an overachiever
[03:32.06]And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
