[Intro: Pastor, Smokey, and Craig from 1995's Friday]
Pastor Clever: Excuse me brother, what we call drugs at the 74th Street Baptist Church we call the sin of sin sins
Smokey: Well around here, between Normandie and Western, we call this here a little twenty twen twen
Craig: Well!
Smokey: N***A
Pastor Clever: Lord have mercy. The Lord is my shepherd
He know what I want!
[Verse 1: Lrs]
Contemplating what to write about
I guess I let you in on what this life about
Money, weed, women more
Money, weed, women and I don't believe in God but to those who do sinnin'
Grinnin' when it all comes to fruition
No need for your comments I'm honest listen
I'm tryna describe my visions, my message my only mission and I do not plan to fail
You need receive this message so I'll express it like the mail
Flowin' cold rain and hail bringin' hell, I inhale that buddha
I'm enlightened, some curse the haters I invite 'em I don't like 'em
But they blind so in hindsight it be my born duty to try to guide I got 'em uh
I'm Picasso, with my soul with a lot of soul in my music
They say that truth will set you free just look at me
I be the epitome of proof bitch, to broke n***as I'm a nuisance
Here's two cents Real Recognize Real that's true shit
And most lookin' unfamiliar like these n***as got on concealer
So that's why I never feel ya
I hope you hungry here's a meal bruh, that food for thought is what I brought you all to eat
Like a professor I teach and I don't rap on these tracks bitch I PREACH!
[Chorus: YL & Pastor Clever]
PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
Lord have mercy. The Lord is my shepherd
He know what I want!
[Verse 2: YL]
Don't mean to preach I ain't priest or pastor
Polo sweater over her shoulders
Moments are captured through mental photographs
I wanna remember you like this
It's freezin' 30 degrees and slowly decreasin'
Sittin' on the park bench bent
You really tryna decode every message I sent? What the fuck?
Like how you say I'm changin' when this life is rearrangin'
And the last time I recall you said you hate the same shit
You a contradiction, I am an enigma
Casual Hennessy sipper vagina gripper
Trees is twisted yo just watch me levitate
Like the cherry incense all around when I meditate
Young Y, remember my name remember my face
A room full of actors and guess who feels out of place uh
Yeah, you're correct if you say me
You could never play me baby you crazy
Triple R an army we squaded up in the tank
The only way to exit is walkin' right off the blank
Rest in Peace to Uncle George, you're my heart
I rock your ring with respect
I confess I ain't livin' right, high off the fumes
In the livin' room loungin' indulgin' in vices that's out of reach
Somebody put these hoes up on the leash they need savin'
The Holy Ghost is with me when I
PREACH!
[Chorus: YL & Pastor Clever]
Excuse me brother, PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
Excuse me brother, PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
Excuse me brother, PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
Excuse me brother, PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
Excuse me brother, PREACH
(La la la la la la la)
PREACH
Lord have mercy. The Lord is my shepherd
He know what I want!
