Anthony Hamilton, Tarsha McMillian - Preacher's Daughter lyrics

She had a habit tht she couldnt really stop
Needed money so she had to hit the block
Nobody knew it so
She steady had to play a
Role, went to church
But surely tearin up her
Soul, she'd repent sometimes
Then she'd press rewind
Started over messin up her life, couldn't
Cope so she had to hit a knee slow
Started prayin to the lord, she was a

Preacher's Daughter
Sendin herself the tears [2x]

A preachers daughter so she had common sense
It's ashamed
The way her life went, he's too busy though
Steady savin souls
To realize he lost one of his own
Full of pain and stuck out in the dark
I even
Heard, her father made his mark
Now she's confused, now
She's about to lose everything
She thought she
Ever owned

Preacher's Daughter
Sendin herself the tears [2x]

[Spoken Word]
(its a cryin shame ohh) its
A shame she couldnt
Make a way out now im sittin here twiddlin
My thumbs cause her life is gone and her
Kids are gone and she lost everything
And see her own father
Was a preacher but he couldnt
Pray for her cause he
Was too busy prayin for
Everybody else and layin
Hands on all the women in the congregation
But i guess thats what goes on
When you walk right and
Perfect and your whole house
Seems to be perfect
And behind closed doors
Everybody suffers from some
Kind of demon but nobody knows it
Until it all unvails itself
Your own daughter is out there locked out
In the dark she was a preachers daughter
[woman sings] help me lord
Help me lord
Help me lord
I need you right now, I need you daddy, could
You hear me prayin, don't
You hear me prayin
(she's somebody's daughter) i need you
Say i need you i
Don't know what to do, I'm, dyin inside
(she's somebody's baby) I can't stop
The tears from fallin
I
Need you i need you i need you daddy
Oh i need you
