Brother Ali - The Preacher lyrics

rate me

Hit me hard, now

Ladies and gentlemen, you made the right choice this evening

If you know me, you know I

Love my family love my God

Before I knew either I loved my art

So I'm married to the pen till death do us part

Rock hard with all my heart

College broads call me avant garde

Probably 'cause I'm all off the chart

Only thing poppy about me

Is what my Puerto Rican mami call me when she on me

And the raw me is all I let y'all see

I believe I rock it properly

Obviously a lot of y'all agree

Remind me, what the fuck can stop Ali?

Only me as far as I can see

Line 3 of "My Philosophy"

By BDP, it apply to me

I'm just the guy to lead a crew

That means the true people who believe in you

And hold you down and do what they need to do

Street Preacher

Say you don't believe what these people teach

Well me neither

He who follows his dream is deemed leader

The freedom fighter meets the peace keeper

See me creeping up in the pulpit

With a full clip fit to speak to the people

May I suggest you just believe dude?

Everything he speak on, really true

He's proved he would never mislead you

Or treat you as nothing less than equal

That's why they call me Brother Ali, too

The feeling always seems to bleed through

No quitting I kill it until the beats through

No kidding I'm real in everything we do

Rap beef bullshit so see through

They don't like the hoops they got to leap through

So they turn on each other like the weak do

Your little teeth chew meat, fool me too

Rest assured I'm the best to do it in my neck of the woods

Hell yes I'm good

You can give me any test and I'll prove it no question

Let this be a lesson to you

When a superior send a message through the air waves

Your way, fool, just accept it

And consider it a blessing

I won't rest till the moment they press play

This jam come down and cave your chest in

There's a couple more things y'all have to know

Y'all been violating the rapper code

Can't just walk around here acting bold

Got to earn respect to brag and boast

Skills get you that not swag and clothes

Chin might get tapped, I crack your nose

Fall back before y'all collapse

Me, I'm an artist all a y'all are acts

That's why my heart bleed all on the track

Tell me what the fuck's wrong with that

Y'all foreplaying I'm raw dogging that

I lead the way 'cause y'all lost the path

This dialogue is all about the facts

That's why my stories are hard to match

Never been afraid at all, follow that

Preacher in here this evening

Let me see your hands if you believe him

I don't know but I got this feeling

These people need some healing

And there just so few real ones

I got just what you're seeking

That giant can't keep sleeping

Wake up and touch that freedom
