baptized at first baptist church
the pastor name was reverend johnson okay
chastised his shirt and matchin’ shoes
but had to front it never bothered him okay
hurt his pride but he swallowed it okay
dirt is all that he spotted
and in the dirty south where bodies pilin’ up
so high they block the birds and rerouted ’em damn
plenty murderers had observers but
you never heard a peep out of them
so many funerals it ain’t enough numerals to keep count of them woah
look i’m just settin’ the scene
back when i stared at the phone as i’m lettin’ it ring
another collector they leave us a message
my mama in deficit must intervene
i bust out the seams i’m gettin’ too big for these britches now
i invest in the dream i’m destined for green
i got superstar dick for these bitches now
