Holier Than Thou Lyrics - Krizz Kaliko

[Intro - Tech N9ne] 

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? 

[Verse 1 - Tech N9ne] 

A wise man told me evil was lurkin and if you found it 

try your best to not put yourself around it 

Cuz when you in it you tend to push it to the limit but 

then when the sin beginnin you wish you would stay 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 over the sensation 

women I'm embracin, so many of them waitin 

Contemplatin how to get fornication 

at yo door when its late with the motivation of Satan 

so they say, but things go they way 

but its more then pay told her hey yo the phase for today 

But lust it sets in, and crush your chest in 

for dust your destined, if drugs are let in 

Enough to nest in, probably make you punch your best friend 

and next kin cuz 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 want to believe that, itching to see that 

if a positive person can shake the negative feedback 

that this life has to offer what its faster 

What a disaster if you didn't obey the master 

Cuz that's mutiny, it would be new to me 

if you was on tour with Tecca Nina and still you could be 

[Chorus - Krizz Kaliko (Strange Lane Choir)] 

(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you 

(Know me, know me) I know you be strong, but you 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 wont 

(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 

[Verse 2 - Krizz Kaliko] 

How can I move the crowd without losin out of 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 thats how he tricks em 

Get em' sippin, then a big ol mickey he slips them (I wonder why) 

Music soothes the savage soul 

People could lose or win, but lack control 

Wish we could choose to live and fast the soul 

We smashin women then bypass the soul 

They believin everything we breathe in 

Half of us is Jesus, the other half is heathen 

And how we get that bad half out? 

We pray the lord would cast that out 

Hope you got blessins let them pass that out 

When we travellin and pass that route 

Keep us under their grace is the place where we had that doubt 

Where I stand, its pointin at me, but its with my hand 

I need you, you holier than I am, I am 

[Chorus - Krizz Kaliko (Strange Lane Choir)] 

(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you 

(Know me, know me) I know you be strong, but you 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 wont 

(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 

[Verse 3 - Tech N9ne] 

This verse was intended for a gospel rapper that we all admire 

and he goes by the name of Da T.R.U.T.H. 

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' we would rap wit us, track splittas, 

Waited, and none of his people got back wit us 

We kept callin' and they finally answered, when a month passed 

We was prepared to do whatever, give it if he wants cash 

but the lady who represent em would never send 'em a message from a secular messenger 

Never be no nepotism, we supposed to be brothers, on the road to teach others 

but the flow would be covered, don't wanna mess with Tech they know that we smothered 

anybody who diss us, retire they weak flow 

Cuz 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 ya, 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, trippin on this on the don spay 

and I had to spit on in cuz I couldn't afford Kanye 

I needed help, your people showed me the wall 

be lowly as 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 if his peers told him not to 

cuz we secular MCs. 

Thanks for giving me Da T.R.U.T.H. CD and bringing true Godliness to our circle bro... 

God bless you, for being so... 

[Chorus - Krizz Kaliko (Strange Lane Choir)] 

(Holy, holy) If you live in another world would you

(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you
