Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now
It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my n****s out
These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now
Every poor person is a n**** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my n****s down

[Chace Infinite]
How do expect to live dealing with savages its damaging
Somebody gotta lose although you play to win
You know these n****s hate despite the color of your face
Well I say n**** I'm just speaking on your mental state
Life ain't a game if it is I can't participate
Maybe I've changed but my mind is in a different state
Cause now it seems more like a plan
I'm striving for perfection so thats where I'll begin
Your tallies and peaks and valleys can't describe who I am
This music is therapeutic I define who I am
Through the actions I portray as a man
In combination with impressions I leave on people through things that I've said
I've had it up to here with the bulls***
So when I rap I sound like I'm in the pulpit
Yeah they say that I be Preaching too much
But I know that through the musics how you teach it to us
Its all real

Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now
It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my n****s out
These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now
Every poor person is a n**** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my n****s down

[Talib Kweli]
???? Chace tried to get rid of me
But they can't write me off I'm not a charity thats a parody right you kidding me
There really ain't no challenge my authenticity
Virtually guarantee me a flawless victory you kidding me
I'm lethal I'm from a people who was forced into captivity
Original man there was often a facsimile
I give a little more than your metaphors wack similes
Thousand yard stare say a prayer for my enemy
I'm international half of these rappers laughable
It's tragic how the other half so vaginal
They put the style over substance they counsel bother me
My style married my substance and now they living in harmony
But any substance can be abused
Especially when the style is so seductive the substance considers leaving you
You gotta get back to your essence use your gifts and share your presence
Don't count your dollars til you count your blessings

Preacher's playing foul in the system now listen now
It's more hate in the religious now ain't it foul
Gotta be a better way to figure out
How to be a self savior plus help my n****s out
These pigs playing foul in the system now listen now
Every poor person is a n**** now
There's gotta be a better way to figure out
How to get this paper cause they locking all my n****s down
