[MISSIO, KOTA The Friend, Paul Wall - Temple Priest lyrics]
That's why they call me Temple Priest
Mothafucka
That’s why they call me Temple Priest
Mothafucka
Man, you know I got some questions
But, you say you know the truth
I'm not done learning all my lessons
Ignorance is no excuse
Everything you say I'm missing
Think I’m destined for the dirt?
It's like I'm guilty by omission
I guess maybe I'll convert
And I'm like, "yeah, yeah"
And you're like, "Nah, nah"
And I'm like, "Hell yeah" and I'm like
That’s why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
That’s why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
Why you don't got any questions?
How you know that this is real?
I am feeling such repression
You can’t tell me how to feel
Why you think I'm at the bottom?
Why you think I'm off the path?
'Cause, I used to love the bottle?
Or is it the tattoos on my back?
And I’m like, "yeah, yeah"
And you're like, "Nah, nah"
And I'm like, "Hell yeah" and I'm like
That's why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
That's why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
Bow wow, baby bow wow bow wow, baby
Ay, judge thee not lest ye be judged
(Be judged)
Don't mind me, I'm just doing my drugs
(My drugs)
I don't bar none and I don't hold no grudge
But, I'm all real homie, I do not budge
They tell ya it's for your soul
They just playing a role
'Cause when it's all said and done
It comes down to control
All the lying and deception
Been taking it's toll
But, I'm ten toes down, I will not fold
I get manipulated every time I'm
In a bad place they straight lie to my face
And then ask for grace
The phone calls stop coming when
I talk my case
Then they tell me that I'm wrong
If I question my faith
I gotta look past the messenger
And hear the message i gotta be my best self
And get all my blessings
So let me light up this
Blunt and if they hate, so what?
I'm doing me, I'm not concerned too much
Sitting on the mountaintop
Well above the clouds
I don't feel like I'm about to drop
Hanging in the balance
I don't harbor any malice
I done been up in the slums
I done been up in the palace
I'm infinity, sacred geometry, living simply
Universe aligned with my spirit
I feel it's symmetry i remember vividly
The Devil tried to finish me
Nature got my back
So he couldn't fuck with the synergy
I break bread with the lost
Make joy by your pain
Found peace in a war, I made do in the rain
Star shining in night
My light true as the day
I don't believe in the hype, I'm only human
I say oh you lost? Well, I'm lost, too
And some of us are
Burdened with the knowledge
But we all fools
What's the point of winning while we
Living when we all lose
When it's said and done in the
Ending when we all screwed?
And I'm like, "yeah, yeah"
And you're like, "Nah, nah"
And I'm like, "Hell yeah" and I'm like
That's why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
That's why they call me
Temple Priest mothafucka
Mothafucka
That’s why they call me Temple Priest
