Paul Thorn - Pimps and preachers

My ^Adaddy had a Cadillac, my ^Am7uncle drove a Ford ^DOne was Satan's angel and ^Aone worked for the Lord They ^Ahad some hard earned wisdom, they ^Am7both became my teachers I ^Dwas a young disciple of ^Apimps and preachers

The ^Aschool of life was open, each ^Am7day I went to class When I ^Ddidn't pay attention, they ^Akicked me in the ass They were ^Aturning out young bitches and con^Am7verting non-believers I was ^Dlearning from the masters, ^Apimps and preachers

One ^Ddrug me through the darkness One ^Aled me to the light One ^Eshowed me how to love One ^Ataught me how to fight I ^Dguess you can say I am an ^Aover^Gach^Dieve^Gr ^D And I ^Aowe a debt of gratitude^E to pimps and preachers

T^Ahey kept me under their w^Am7ings but when I passed the test ^DThey gave me a pinstriped ^Asuit and pushed me from the nest Now I^A'm standing on the corner, recruit^Am7ing hungry seekers ^DI'm starting a new religion^A, I call it pimps and preachers

One ^Ddrug me through the darkness One ^Aled me to the light One ^Eshowed me how to love One ^Ataught me how to fight I ^Dguess you can say I am an ^Aover^Gach^Dieve^Gr ^D And I ^Aowe a debt of gratitude^E to pimps and ^Apreachers

^AStand there and do nothing but if^Am7 you want to go far ^DDon't try to please everybo^Ady and be proud of who you are ^AGet out there in the game, don't ^Am7sit up in the bleachers ^DThat is the philosophy of p^Aimps and Preachers

One ^Ddrug me through the darkness One ^Aled me to the light One ^Eshowed me how to love One ^Ataught me how to fight I ^Dguess you can say I am an ^Aover^Gach^Dieve^Gr ^D And I ^Aowe a debt of gratitude^E to pimps and ^Apreachers
