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                           
They had some hard earned wisdom, 
      Am7
they both became my teachers
  D                       A
I was a young disciple of pimps and 
preachers

A  Am7 D A

    A                             
The school of life was open, each 
Am7
day I went to class
       D                          
When I didn't pay attention, they 
A
kicked me in the ass
          A                        
They were turning out young bitches
        Am7
 and converting non-believers
      D                         
I was learning from the masters, 
 A
pimps and preachers

[Chorus]
    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                        
I guess you can say I am an 
 A   G  D   G  D
overachiever

And I owe a debt of gratitude to 
pimps and preachers

[Verse]
 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                         
Now I'm standing on the corner, 
        Am7
recruiting hungry seekers
D                          A
I'm starting a new religion, I call 
it pimps and preachers

[Chorus]
    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                        
I guess you can say I am an 
 A   G  D   G  D
overachiever
      A                      E 
And I owe a debt of gratitude to 
            A
pimps and preachers

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

[Chorus]
    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
