Preacher man

Dear preacher man
Preacher woman
Preacher boy, preacher girl
Where yo oil at
We fighting off demons down here
We piecing rent together
Trying to stay alive
A hundred dollars here
Two hundred there
Five here another one over there
You care about my soul or not
You care our kids eat or not
What you gonna do about these girls missing
These boys coming up dead
Deacon Johnson fingers between her legs

Preacher man, preacher woman
Lean in real close
Lemme tell you something
Don't nobody give a good damn about yo Cadillac
What you gonna do about these cops around here
Take away my daddy
Take away my ol man
Try to take away my son

Preacher boy, preacher girl
Where yo microphones at now
Sister Bessie's baby selling her body on the corner
Brother Rufus boy buying it up
Only one they take to jail is her
Like she ain't got a family to feed
Like my tags ain't bad while I'm driving to see you
Like we ain't fighting through drug dealers
Just to see the ushers march
Hear the choir sing
See what good news you got to say
Give you all my money
You driving us to the polls or not
You gon make sure these kids eat or not
How you gon pray all day
And they taking my abortion rights away
Who gon feed this baby
Who gon give it clothes

Preacher man, preacher woman
Preacher boy, preacher girl
What you care a man kiss a man
When these babies being bullied
Taking they own lives

Preacher man, preacher woman
You better hear what we got to say
Like we don't know what we talking about
Like we ain't seen the devil hisself

Preacher man, preacher woman
Preacher boy, preacher girl
