  • Where my street disciples, church off in these streets
    Call my congregation, church off in these streets
    Call me Pastor Young, I came to spread the word
    Spread the word like my partner spray them birds
    You gettin' how you livin', just say hallelujah
    You out here and you poppin', best to have you a shooter
    I said and I meant it so you know indeed
    I came to spread the word, church off in these streets

    Heard he took a unit, broke it down to singles
    Take them one by one just like them bitches Pringles
    Heard he lost it all and then he got it back
    All them folks a tell that's why I got attacked
    I'm in this bitch, I'm feelin' like a million dollars
    Okay I'm loungin' know I'm short a million dollars
    The first around the corner got a nigga stressed
    Just hope he send a blessin' off in my direction, hey

    Where my street disciples, church off in these streets
    Call my congregation, church off in these streets
    Call me Pastor Young, I came to spread the word
    Spread the word like my partner spray them birds
    You gettin' how you livin', just say hallelujah
    You out here and you poppin', best to have you a shooter
    I said and I meant it so you know indeed
    I came to spread the word, church off in these streets

    My nigga got a plug and then he got indicted
    Saw him in that foreign thing then got excited
    Graduated from the streets and I ain't have a tutor
    If you see another day then just say hallelujah
    Ain't no fuckin' secret, know I came from nothin'
    Told myself that I'mma go and grind for somethin'
    Hustle 'cause I gotta splurge when I can
    Just know you lookin' at a God fearin' man

    Where my street disciples, church off in these streets
    Call my congregation, church off in these streets
    Call me Pastor Young, I came to spread the word
    Spread the word like my partner spray them birds
    You gettin' how you livin', just say hallelujah
    You out here and you poppin', best to have you a shooter
    I said and I meant it so you know indeed
    I came to spread the word, church off in these streets Writer/s: JAY W. JENKINS, XAVIER DOTSON
