Lyrics

Preach

[Intro]

Ah

They talk the talk now, but do they know what they say lord, do they know what they say

Do they practice what they preach

I don't think so

I don't believe in them lord, I don't believe in them

Lord, I don't believe in them

[Chorus: Donae'o]

Hold on please (are you listening)

Are you listening?

Mandem wanna talk about the greez but the greez ain't glistening

Hold on please

Are you listening?

Mandem wanna talk about the greez but the greez ain't glistening

Practice, preach

Practice what you preach

Practice, preach [x3]

Practice what you preach

[Verse 1: Ghetts]

Dis girl's preaching she ain't a hoe, we know better

Hoe's, calling other hoe's hoe, hoe, you're no better

Dat boy said he could get me a box of cheese

He don't know no cheddar

I said bring me a picture, he's on Insta', tryna make photo's better

I thought man was talkin' my language but when he spoke I gotta show Rosetta

Don't say "free my niggas in jail" if you ain't send them no dough or no letter

I know no man who grew up in nice areas

But they wanna come around here and start throwin' up gang signs

Stop it you post code bredda

You don't roll solo, never, you pussy

I told you, niggas don't like

[Hook: Donae'o]

Hand on the bible, I swear to God I'm a real nigga (I'm a real) [x3]

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Ghetts]

Actions of a G

Morals my brotha, I can't abandon my beliefs

And man will say family tree, then branch out with a man's girl when he leaves

Morals my brotha, I can't abandon my beliefs

And man will say thanks for the P's, then forget what you've done when he's back on his feet

Morals my brotha, I can't abandon my beliefs

Better man don't look after their kids

But wanna treat all these slags like queens

Morals my brotha, I can't abandon my beliefs

I told you, niggas don't like

[Hook]

[Chorus]
