She had a habit that she couldn't 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,

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:) (it's a cryin shame ohh)
It's a shame she couldn't make a way out
Now I'm 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 couldn't pray for her cause
He was too busy prayin for everybody else
And layin hands on all the women in the congregation,

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

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
