Preacher (feat. Anthony D) - Saint Yowzha

She had a habit that she couldn't really stop Needed money so she had to hit the block Nobody knew it so She steady had to play a role Went to church But surely tearin' up her soul She'd repent sometimes Then she'd press rewind Started over messin' up her life Couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow Started prayin' to the Lord She was a preacher's daughter Sendin' herself the tears Sendin' herself the tears A preacher's daughter So she had common sense It's ashamed the way her life went He's too busy though Steady savin souls To realize he lost one of his own Full of pain and stuck out in the dark I even heard her father made his mark Now she's confused Now she's about to lose everything She thought she ever owned Preacher's daughter Sendin' herself the tears Sendin' herself the tears (It's a cryin' shame, oh) It's a shame she couldn't make a way out Now I'm sittin' here twiddlin' my thumbs 'Cause her life is gone and her kids are gone And she lost everything and see her own father Was a preacher but he couldn't pray for her 'Cause he was too busy prayin' for everybody else And layin' hands on all the women in the congregation But I guess that's what goes on When you walk right and perfect And your whole house seems to be perfect And behind closed doors everybody suffers from some kind of demon But nobody knows it until it all unvails itself Your own daughter is out there Locked out in the dark She was a preacher's daughter Help me, Lord, help me, Lord Help me, Lord, I need You right now I need you daddy Could you hear me prayin' Don't you hear me prayin' (She's somebody's daughter) I need you, say I need you I don't know what to do I'm dyin' inside (She's somebody's baby) I can't stop the tears from fallin' I need you, I need you, I need you, daddy Oh, I need you

When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity I knew how to fly And I could teach you for a fee Broke every window in my hotel heart When I was only 5 years old The 12 years scarred And I'd hear the same voice Echo in my mind Said 'son you got an angel, to chase the devil at the night' When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about God Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth I took a little faith And put it in a parking lot I drove to a strange town Full of have and have nots And as I walked through that storybook life I've been looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night Oh! oh! oh! When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about love Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth Wave Put your hands up and hands down Wave Put your hands up and hands down Wave Put your hands up and hands down When I was a kid My grandfather was a preacher He'd talk about life Yeah he was something like a teacher He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth He was a million miles from a million dollars But you could never spend his wealth
