Pimps & Preachers

My daddy had a Cadillac, my uncle drove a Ford
 One was Satan's angel, and one worked for the Lord
 They had some hard earned wisdom, they both became my teachers
 I was a young disciple of-
 Pimps and preachers
 The school of life was open, each day I went to class
 When I didn't pay attention, they kicked me in the ass
 They were turning out young bitches and converting non-believers
 I was learning from the masters-
 Pimps and preachers
 One drove me through the darkness; one lead me to the light
 One showed me how to love; one taught me how to fight
 I guess you can say I am an overachiever
 And I owe a debt of gratitude
 To pimps and preachers
 They kept me under their wings, but when I passed the test
 They gave me a pinstriped suit and pushed me from the nest
 Now I'm standing on a corner recruiting hungry seekers
 I'm starting a new religion, I call it-
 Pimps and preachers
 One drove me through the darkness; one lead me to the light
 One showed me how to love; one taught me how to fight
 I guess you can say I am an overachiever
 And I owe a debt of gratitude
 To pimps and preachers
 Stand there and do nothing, but if you want to go far
 Don't try to please everybody, and be proud of who you are
 Get out there in the game, don't sit up in the bleachers
 That is the philosophy of
 Pimps and preachers
 One drove me through the darkness; one lead me to the light
 One showed me how to love; one taught me how to fight
 I guess you can say I am an overachiever
 And I owe a debt of gratitude
 To pimps and preachers
