Saigon - Preacher Lyrics






[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
(Preacher!) I'm seein you man, you doin your thing
(Preacher!) I see the new shoes, suits and the ring
(Preacher!) Since when are you into bling
A reverend's supposed to lead like Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King
(Preacher!) You more like Pastor Offering
I'ma come down to your church man, how much does it cost again?
(Preacher!) God know a nigga's strugglin bad
He know a nigga probably need whatever he had
(Preacher!) And you insist I give you some 10 percent
(Preacher!) When I can barely even pay my own rent
(Preacher!) I got a old '94 Pontiac
(Preacher!) You ride around this bitch in a new 'llac
(Preacher!) You used to be hittin us for some bread
(Preacher!) But instead you hittin us in the head
(Preacher!) For 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s, 100s
And you tellin us this cause God want it?

[Chorus: Saigon (Lee Fields)]
(Preacher!) You ain't practicin what you preach man
(Ohh preacher!) No, no - you extortin us on the weekend
(Robbin, stealin and runnin the game) Uh-huh, uh-huh
(Gettin filthy rich in God's name)
(Preacher!) You ain't practicin what you preach man
(Ohh preacher!) No, no - you extortin us on the weekend
(Robbin, stealin and runnin the game)
(What a shame! What a shame! What a shame!)

[Interlude: preacher]
Now I didn't come here today for you to take my word as the be all and end all.
You could save that for the preacher,
duping folks for what's in their wallets on behalf of the Lord.
They get you making an investment in the afterlife
and nobody has come back to let you know what your return would be!
But what's your profit worth?
Profits for prophets, I call 'em like I see 'em.

[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
Let me talk 'bout this man, look

(Preacher!) I'm seein you man, you doin it big
(Preacher!) Both of your kids becomin the church jig
(Preacher!) Wife rockin the $5,000 wig
And she got a big rock on her hand; is y'all runnin scams?
(Preacher!) And we was fuckin dependent on Section 8
(Preacher!) But always had somethin to put in the collection plate
(Preacher!) It was always so strange, it was odd
to see my mom scratchin up change to give it to God
(Preacher!) I think we all knew, nobody sayin shit
(Preacher!) You was usin that to pay your car payment
(Preacher!) We was muh'fuckin payin your mortgage
And we was livin in the projects, you know we couldn't afford it
(Preacher!) But that's how you was on it
(Preacher!) You would come to church and talk it but I doubt you would walk it
(Preacher!) You probably (Come to America) and Arsenio Hall it
(Ohhhh!) Make me wanna just snatch you off of the pulpit, this

[Chorus]

[Saigon (Lee Fields)]
Uhh, uhh (Preacher!)
The politician ain't really a politician, he a (Preacher!)
We voted him in to be a leader, but he a (Preacher!)
Promises better living condition
Soon as he get the position switches his disposition
It's the (Preacher!) It's not only the guys in the church
But it's the (Preacher!) gotta lie to his worth
How the hell could we survive on this Earth
when y'all come flood the ghetto with guns, drugs and legalize bottles of irk and jerk?
My cousin on Percocet, he gave out a murder threat
They caught him, shot up his legs and them fuckers ain't workin yet
Bloomberg banned cigarettes
Why he ain't ban lettin policemen beat on niggaz yet?
Huh? (Preacher!) Y'all know the shit that I'm sayin is true
Sayin is true (Preacher!) Ignorin it if it ain't pertainin to you
But if the (Preacher!) don't walk it like he talk it
then damnit doggone it that nigga got some explainin to do

[Chorus]

[Lee Fields]
It's a shame!
Ohh Lord!
Can you see?

[Outro: Saigon]
Yeah! Hah
Know'msayin, no disrespect to nobody
Know'msayin? Y'all muh'fuckers blaspheming ass nigga
Use the Lord name in vain, nigga don't do that shit
Y'all niggaz pimpin the system
Stop pimpin the poor people man
Help us out nigga, we need God for real nigga

[Lee Fields]
Can you see?
Mr. Preacher!
HEYYY, it's killin me!

{"Now come on up here so Jesus can put you on a payment plan..."}

  1. R.... R....

    We better wake the fuck up, my People! Mfs living scandalous! Cut it the fuck out! Haven't enough of us perished under THEIR rule?! Better watch the news and read between the lines. What the fuck are our enemies not saying?

    N.... S....

    I respect every body's opinion. If you don't believe in a God or gods, tell me what you DO believe in. There are a lot of people on this Earth. Respect everyone and their beliefs.

  5. 2.... ....

    I thought this was the first one that he dropped now that shit was dope he made it bout in 05 or 06 matta of fact that nigga mixtapes was hard as hell

  6. T.... Y....

    I love Saigon, and I think this song is on-point, but why are there only black and hispanic members in a white pastor's church? I just feel like it skews the entire message of the song.

    T.... Y....

    Actually, that's what I've seen. They don't want Black people and Brown people to come together. We would be too much for them pale mfs to process.

  7. F.... ....

    Great video but damn, I can't stop thinkin' of rayman

  8. P.... ....

    OMG....this video is crazy! lol Love it!

  9. E.... D....

  10. h.... m....

  19. a.... ....

    exactly what's going in churches and religion at large today. Religious leaders are pimps . they've been that way since inception.

  20. L.... o....

    I thought the same thing they both spit amazing lyrics, have meaning, and are mainly underground. Seems perfect besides their different styles.

  21. T.... S....

    You should collab with Hopsin

  22. D.... A....

    God know a nigga strugglin bad, God know a nigga probably need whatever he has.

  23. k.... ....

    Stupid people follow religious organizations. Faith is in your own soul not in a building called Church

  24. Q.... ....

    Turtle is a good manager.

  25. A.... ....

    i would like this video a 10000000 if i could...

  26. B.... D....

  27. A.... S....

    good song, bad video, almost ruins the song

  28. D.... J....

    MF LOVE has some dope hiphop too

  29. B.... ....

    now this is some good shit! social criticism is the best.

  30. S.... ....

    I wonderful and true song but the preacher part is all wrong they dont sleep with hoes they be raping those lil boys!!

  31. M.... ....

    @ThatGreatDreamer too much electro with lil wang

  32. B.... L....

    You all suck knowledge those are the preachers that you see in the Jefferson Ave. dumps

  33. T.... B....

    "Now come up here so god can put you on a payment plan", Lol. Funny but not funny.

  34. S.... ....

    This is pure dope hip hop. Dope beat and flow and some real talk. The only way you should be offended about the subject is if it applies to you. Chuuch!!!

  35. r.... w....

    sick joint here.dude raps and sound like Jay z.this track is really on fire.

  36. B.... ....

    Machine gun preacher

  37. i.... ....

    @downunderdemocrat Please read my comment, it is not about the video or the rapper himself, it is about ignorant uneducated Christians like some of those having 10 page arguments on here.

  38. b.... ....

    @rbrtsrth k no one cares tho..... and no ones gonna read bible passages in response to a song

  39. A.... p....

    dude you have no talent, 1 get a good beat 2 learn to rap...

  40. G.... S....

    I bid you all good day. Oh just figured out why this song was made 1: you all don't want to give the ten % and 2: You all want what is in the plate already, You worship your money though can't take it with you when you go. unfortunatly hit the like button trying to pause this Ignorant, selfish, immature, stupid, slow mans song. Oh by the way read the great comission in matthew. "peace" heathens

  41. G.... S....

    I'm a die hard Christian. I work at a Christian book store. I watch people come in with hate bitterness and pompousness. I hear them complain about how we don't do enough for charity yet theres a charity jar next to them and I see no dollar bill dropped in and I can tell whose a Christian and who is a member of your group from it. I'm well read in christian theories apologetics from now adays to way back when. I study works from eusbius and josephus. and everyone in between.

  42. G.... S....

    15 “Look at Behemoth,
    which I made along with you
    and which feeds on grass like an ox.
    16 What strength it has in its loins,
    what power in the muscles of its belly!
    17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
    the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
    18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
    its limbs like rods of iron.
    19 It ranks first among the works of God,

  43. G.... S....

    Second think I don't know any theology. Had someone ask me to things the other day an atheist. One was where does it talk about dinosaurs in the bible. Answer job 40:15

  44. G.... S....

    No Idea of theology eh? Well let me drop some verses that are in the bible. First in responce to people saying that pastors steal the tithe money. As for the tribe of Levi, your relatives, I will compensate them for their service in the Tabernacle. Instead of an allotment of land, I will give them the tithes from the entire land of Israel. numbers 18:21, See pastors have to raise their families and the tithe is their pay, My pastors pay check does not exceed what he needs.

  45. E.... S....

    dope all day! TRUTH IS TRUTH! WE NEED MORE BROTHERS DROPPING JEWELS JUST LIKE THIS! WAKE DA FUCK UP PEOPLE! AND REALIZE WE ARE STILL BEING LIED TO! LOVE!!!! El Sun said it, SAIGON is da truth!

  46. W.... ....

    Official tissue.

  47. s.... ....

    @rbrtsrth cool story bro.

  48. R.... ....

    JESUS LOL RELIGION LOL,

  49. R.... ....

    @rbrtsrth no pic no proof

  50. i.... ....

    Yeah great song, and rbrtsrth may read his Bible but from what he preaches he has no idea of theology or the deeper than surface meaning of scripture. Do not let his ignorance speak bad of other Christians out there.

  51. K.... ....

    Great song. It's just great. The video is cool too.

  52. G.... S....

    Cause christianity has got 2.2 billion followers. So have fun "dawg" maybe the next trip to jail the prison preacher will get through as for me I'm way better than to talk smack about men who worked all their lives instead of stole. You want to know more email [email protected]. It'll wisen your self up. Trip lee tedashii and lecrae all have had more hits than this saigon. And finally when you go to church more times than smoke parties then tell me I'm not Christianly.

  53. G.... S....

    The fact of the matter is this you think your tough you don't know tough till you've almost died from your sinful ways. I was saved by a man who Died on the cross for me. Who took it upon himself the burdens of countless peoples sins and died a horrible death. for his heavenly father who is greater than any of you greater than saigon and greater than this ignorant crap spewed by a man who said himself "i quit" when he only has a couple of albums. So you know what bro? get real.

  54. G.... S....

    Another point says all over proverbs that those who hate wisdom are foolish and stupid. SEVERAL times it says it. So while your sitting there with you crack pipe why don't you take that and smoke it "homie" another point is this Jesus loves you God loves you but satans got his grip real hard on you. God blesses those who follow him those preachers with the nice clothes. God had moses make his followers make priesthood garbs out of gems and metel with fine woven cloth.

  55. G.... S....

    Third we dress nice to go to church not walk around looking half dressed rolled out of bed with pants around our knees "which does make you stupid as heck" Fourth we do donate to the kind person who says we don't, the church up the street. "which by the way has more members than what has viewed this ignorant video" Gives food to the poor every week. So don't you EVER tell me I don't act Christianly when you don't know me cause there's more to the bible than just Jesus.

  56. G.... S....

    Uh oh someone forced me to break out my big guns!! First of Jesus lived a nice life he rode in boats to get where he needed to get to he once fed 5,000 men "alone does not even mention child and woman." And rode into a town on a donkey with people greeting him like a king. Second I don't need to act christian to people who don't go to church don't read the bible don't tithe or give to charity but do smoke pot get in trouble with the law and probably has std's up the river.

  57. S.... M....

    According to the Bible, Jesus never lived lavishly. Why is it that some of these "christian" preachers have nice suits, nice cars, & a nicer house than everyone who attends his church? Still people will defend them to the end of the earth because they are afraid of thinking for themselves. Christianity has origins in Africa. Horus was born to a virgin, had 12 disciples, and was called the "son (sun) of God." I just wish most Christians were less CHRISTIAN and more CHRIST-LIKE. Great song Sai!

  58. S.... M....

    @rbrtsrth That's very christian of you. lol Are you angry that he is touching on a subject that is taboo to most christians? How is Saigon a quitter if he is making a living doing what he loves to do while educating people? Please, I would love to know.

  59. G.... S....

    Forgot to say a pastor friend I know was former Marine corps. He would take that machete and run it through your "homeboys" heart. Semper fi dopes. And saigon probably has been to jail more times than church. So have fun following the teachings of a quiter.

  60. G.... S....

    You know I'de rather follow a man who worked all his life than one who's been in jail. Trip lees inexhaustible beats the crap out of everything this man "loser" "preaches" I'm a member of 116 clique I'm white I played football, took up krav maga and by the end of the year be in the marine corps. Any one who tries to take on the bible loses The 10% goes to help people, churches, and even says in the bible pastors and staff are to be paid from the tithe, Word that fools.

  61. p.... ....

    glad to see a video for this track! saigon is killin it right now!

  62. J.... U....

    real shit keep it up sai giddy one of tha grimmeist underatted rapper of all time better then all these new cats combine dis niggas flow is unreal put him up against j.cole drake big sean tyler tha creator n all dem futureistic rap cats n dis nigga rips dem up dey rest in pieces he is a animal

  63. E.... R....

    Hahaha....funny yet profound. Good sociopolitical satire.

  64. A.... ....

    Need Beats? Get at the God, D.3.V.

  65. B.... M....

    @FillTheirVoid all christian preachers are part of the same system. A system of delegating power over the poor. Christianity is the reason why Russia is a christian country (For Control over his people) and why thousands of Indian tribes are extinct. Colonialism is sponsored by corporations of greedy Christians. Like when the church was selling indulgences

  66. I.... S....

    Dope..

  67. s.... ....

    @KingVictorious27 You mean the same preacher who asked for money to get the church a baptism pool on the wall, completed with glass wall so everybody can see the show? Or the same preacher who outfitted his church with state of the art computer system so everybody can comfortably sit in air conidtioned rooms and listen to the world of God while homeless people are right outside waiting to beg the church goers while they drive away trying to ignore them? Oh and priests are gay.

  68. N.... B....

    Only watched the video cause i thought it was about the city Saigon in Vietnam.

  69. T.... ....

    @grandpamoe1 I guess 119 people disagree with you... just dislike the video and move on no one here shares your same perspective and nobody here wants to hear you whine and bitch... about someones upload when you have 2 uploads! One about gay ass RuneScape and the other about a call of duty glitch! Get out of here faggot!

  70. I.... M....

    black people complain so much.

    none of you had to go through the shit in the 60s. i'm not saying racism is dead, but where i live, white people get it just as bad. AND white people get less hand-outs from the state/fed and that's a fact.

    I.... M....

    Iamextremelyawesome Moreawesomethanyou'lleverbe We should not speak on things we know nothing about. ..unless you are a black you can't speak for the blacks...You can't cast stones if you have never been a poor fatherless black without a father,guidance or structure . Ignorance of the black community is what keeps you from getting to know the truths of social injustices

  71. a.... r....

    @jmvergis20 thats what im saying. and can also agree with the politicians part

  72. a.... r....

    @JSHINE555 you know what this may be extreemly racist but its the truth. black people like this video cuz they think everyone steals the very little money the gov gives them cuz they cant or wont get a job.and as i side not black people are the most racist people ever. all they do is make fun of white people but its okaya cuz they are too afraid to get offended. im not taking that bull crap anay more

  73. j.... ....

    @itschunk1993 I can agree on the politicians part. The Preacher part is bull. Not all preachers are bad. One of my really good friends is a preacher, she lives a pretty good life, but she's humble.

  74. M.... L....

    If you are looking for a new and different explanation of the ultimate truth that makes sense and is based on evidence you can check for yourself, search for "Church of Innerspace" in Google, click the first result, and read what it says.

  75. T.... ....

    This ish is the realest joint out! Peace

  76. T.... ....

    This ish is the realest joint out! Peace

  77. T.... ....

    This ish is the realest joint out! Peace

    @itschunk1993 OMG-AND I QUOTE " Yall know the shit I'm saying is true-ignore it if it aint pertaining to you". Learn to follow directions next time.

  80. s.... ....

    How are you so sure everyone doesn't stand for anything?

  81. a.... r....

    thumbs up if this is the biggest load of crap ever. just because somme preachers are dirty that does not mean they all are. and i bet this dude is just pissy cuz things in life did not go his way.

  82. e.... ....

    PLEASE LOOK AT MY CHANNEL :DDDD

    @jayrocism That's true, there are those who are there for the children... of course I mean to molest them, but... I kid, I kid. Well, sort of.

  90. R.... R....

    umm..all priests and politicians who take money arent only white..which makes this one a bit too racist, but i loved the thaught and video message tho, because no other artist would put it out!
