Pimps And Preachers

   A                        Am7
My daddy had a Cadillac, my uncle drove a Ford
D                         A
One was Satan's angel and one worked for the Lord
     A                                 Am7
They had some hard earned wisdom, they both became my teachers
  D                       A
I was a young disciple of pimps and preachers
A  Am7 D A
    A                             Am7
The school of life was open, each day I went to class
       D                          A
When I didn't pay attention, they kicked me in the ass
          A                                Am7
They were turning out young bitches and converting non-believers
      D                          A
I was learning from the masters, pimps and preachers

    D
One drug me through the darkness
    A
One led me to the light
    E
One showed me how to love
    A
One taught me how to fight
  D                         A   G  D   G  D
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
      A                      E
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
A  Am7  D  A

 A                        Am7
They kept me under their wings but when I passed the test
D                         A
They gave me a pinstriped suit and pushed me from the nest
     A                                 Am7
Now I'm standing on the corner, recruiting hungry seekers
D                          A
I'm starting a new religion, I call it pimps and preachers

    D
One drug me through the darkness
    A
One led me to the light
    E
One showed me how to love
    A
One taught me how to fight
  D                         A   G  D   G  D
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
      A                      E             A
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers

A                                Am7
Stand there and do nothing but if you want to go far
D                          A
Don't try to please everybody and be proud of who you are
A                                Am7
Get out there in the game, don't sit up in the bleachers
D                          A
That is the philosophy of pimps and Preachers

One drug me through the darkness

One led me to the light

One showed me how to love
    A
One taught me how to fight
