False Prophets

Pimp C (RIP) often said it

On a song that is often

In many hood homes played

Everybody sittin in the pulpit

Ain't saved most preachers

Just false prophets

Prophets freaking pros

And getting paid."

 

When I was younger

I knew it was true but

I never gave it much,

Much thought Pimp C

Also said whatcha gon'

Do when the devil poke

You with his fork.

 

I would never want

To do what I see

Some of these preachers do.

They need to get

Out of the pulpit

That's why so many

Are on the streets

Smoking dope

And looking to false hope.

 

They don't want to

Come to church

Because they see

The  preacher hoing,

Buying and smokin' perp.

That devalues the church.

And what makes it worse

Is that we Christian's allow

It to go on and it's so wrong.

 

 

Now that I'm older

I know that  false prophesy

Occurs often and it makes

My heart soften. It is

Painful to see indeed

It is tragedy. That

Many preachers talk

The talk and don't

Walk the walk

And going to cause

Themselves and the

Congregation

To get poked by the

Hot fork.

 

All because of what

Pimp C said "Everybody sittin

In the pulpit ain't saved

Most preachers

Are just false prophets

Freaking hoes and getting

Paid."
