lyrics

T.I. went to jail/ Came out of that jail/ tried to be a role model was doing quite well/ he said changed his life and that he ain’t going back and then a few months later…well// you can’t talk about my teachers/ I call your rappers preachers/ they tell you how to live your lives and then you receive it// they say they’re all gangsters and thugs and you believe it//but they all tell lies man/they ain’t no wise men/ Wayne kissed a man, and said he ain’t gay/ and from what I understand this Martian is not ashamed? My dudes speak life/ they all have wives/ your dudes speak death – and kiss other men// and I ain’t trying to diss ya man, I’m just speaking the facts// but you are who you listen so you could be that/ and I’m just scratching the surface, I could have took this deeper/ but never look at me and say I’ve got crooked preachers…

Chorus

You don’t know how serious man…you don’t know… I could have took this deeper/ but never look at me and say I ‘ve got crooked preachers. To you it’s nothing, but what if I told you, it could cost your life I could have took this deeper/ but never look at me and say I’ve got crooked preachers…

Jigga, gives to charities and tries to save lives// but says that he’s a killer, now that’s a great lie// you listen to them dudes who are full of fake rhymes/ but I listen to them dudes who are trying to paint Christ// I know…at times their lives don’t match up/ but whatever they are speaking to my seeds I can teach it// and Ricky told lies/ Fifty told lies/ but whenever they do something, man the city’s all eyes// by comparison, Eddie Long is small fries// Da Truth is back on track and he’s doing alright/ them dudes I who I listen to kick the wisdom, true/ but them dudes who you listen to end up in the prison/ Big, said he was poor when he was alive and reppin’/ but he lied a little tad/ he was really middle class/ I mean Biggie was a preacher, he made 10 commandments/ I hope you’re second guessin’/ ‘cause now a liar is a legend

Chorus x2

"N.I.F.T.Y. has an authoritative voice and presence. His vocals hold the strange ability to evoke the sound of Hip Hop legends such as Jay-Z – he has a mainstream but credible and classic voice." - Sphere of Hip Hop
