Tech N9ne, Strange Lane Choir, Krizz Kaliko - Holier Than Thou lyrics

We been doing this for a long long time now
This music thing and touring, y'know
And still i ain't met one
Person that could maintain righteousness
Know what I'm sayin'?

A wise man told me evil was
Lurkin' and if you found it
Try your best to not put yourself around it
'Cause when you in it
You tend to push it to the limit
But then it’s the sin you begin it
Then wish that you stayed grounded
I went all over the world and
I done been through it at the beginning
I knew I wouldn't give in to it
But temptation, oh what a sensation
Women I am embracin', so many of them waitin'
Contemplatin' how to get fornication
At yo door when it's late
With the motivation of Satan
So they say, but things go they way
And it's more then pay told her
Hey yo the phase for today
But lust it sets in, and crush your chest in
For dust you're destined, if drugs are let in
Enough to nest in
Prolly make you punch your best friend
And next kin 'cause you let S-E-X win
You mean to tell me you can fight this land
With brightness and walk the path
Of the righteous man?
Yo, I wanna believe that, itching to see that
If a positive person can
Shake the negative feedback
That this life has to offer when it's faster
What a disaster if you didn't obey the master
'Cause that's mutiny, it would be new to me
If you was on tour with Tecca
N9na and still you could be

(Holy, holy) If you lived in
Another world would you
(Know me, know me) I know you'll be strong
But you've been gone a
(While) I know you still my
(Child) So I'm pullin' for you
(Don’t you owe me) Your soul and
If you know it won't you (Show me
Show me) You can see me if you look above the
(Clouds) You're holier than
(Thou) So I say it for you

How can I move the crowd without
Losin' out on my faith?
Lucifer out of the way (way)
Or maybe he don't even exist
I ain't gotta trip off gettin'
Hookers out of my system
(get you out of my system)
See that's how he tricks 'em
Get 'em sippin' then a big
Ol' mickey he slips them (I wonder why)
Music soothes the savage soul
People can lose it when we lack control
Really get used to livin' fast and so
We smashin' women then they bypass they soul
They believin' everything we breathin'
Half of us is Jesus
The other half is heathen
And how we get that bad half out?
We pray the Lord'll cast that out
Hope he got blessings left and pass that out
When we travellin' and pass that route
Keep us under your graces in places
Where we have that doubt
Where I stand, he's pointin' at me
But it's with my hand
I need you, you holier than I am, I am

(Holy, holy) If you lived in
Another world would you
(Know me, know me) I know you'll be strong
But you've been gone a
(While) I know you still my
(Child) So I'm pullin' for you
(Don’t you owe me) Your soul and
If you know it won't you (Show me
Show me) You can see me if you look above the
(Clouds) You're holier than
(Thou) So I say it for you

This verse was intended for a gospel rapper
That we all admire and he goes
By the name of Da' TRUTH
All we wanted was a righteous man to
Lead us in the right direction
And maybe if he came we
Could change and regroup
So we laid it down and sent it
Hopin' he would rap wit' us, track splittas
Waited, and none of his people
Got back wit' us
We kept callin' then they finally answered
When a month passed
We was prepared to do whatever
Givin' if he wants cash
But the lady who represent
Him would never send
Him a message from a secular messenger
Never be no nepotism, we
S'posed to be brothers
On the road to teach others
But the flow would be covered
Better mess with the Tech they
Know that we smother
Anybody that diss us, retire they weak flow
'Cause this is the pinnacle
Nobody flyer than me, bro
If you didn't like it then I admire the ego
And if they never told you
Then you better fire ya people
'Cause fallen angels came for your help
And then she pushed 'em
But Christians be the first to
Run they mouth about Muslims
But they always helpin' in the hood
But y'all closed me out
Y'all didn't even really wanna
Know what we 'bout
And we bombay, TRUTH ain’t on this
So the Don' spray and I had to spit on it
'cause I couldn't afford Kanye
I needed help, your people showed me the wall
Below me is y'all
I guess y'all wasn't holy at all naw!

Much love to the gospel MC J
Blast for coming down in the
Midst of sinners to try to
Help us remedy our situation
Even though most of his peers told him
Not to 'cause we secular MCs
Thanks for giving me Da' TRUTH
CD and bringing true
Godliness to our circle bro god bless you
For being so

(Holy, holy) If you lived in
Another world would you
(Know me, know me) I know you'll be strong
But you've been gone a
(While) While I know you still my
(Child) Child, so I'm pullin' for you
(Don’t you owe me) Your soul and
If you know it won't you (Show me
Show me) You can see me if you look above the
(Clouds) Clouds, you're holier than
(Thou) Thou, so I say it for you
(Holy, holy) If you lived in
Another world would you
(Know me, know me) Would you know me?
(While) WHILE, WHILE
(Child) You my child now
(Don’t you owe me) Your soul and
If you know it won't you (Show me
Show me) You can see me if
You look up above the
(Clouds) You're holier than
(Thou) O-o-o-ooooh yeeeeaaaah
