Preacher's Daughter
Wu-Tang Clan Lyrics

The only girl that could ever please me
She is the only woman who can truly satisfy me

Was the daughter of a preacher man
She is the daughter of a religious leader

Yo, pa, I got a lady, I'm 'bout to make her my baby
Hey, dad, I have a girlfriend whom I intend to marry

Might even make a baby, the thesis makin' her crazy
We might even have a child together, which excites her

She know my style wavy, I'm circlin' her Mercedes
She is familiar with my cool and trendy personality, and I'm always around her expensive car

Father, father was a preacher, I'm almost certain he hates me
Her father, who is a preacher, most likely disapproves of me

But he ain't gotta date me and look, his baby is grown
But he doesn't have to be in a romantic relationship with me, and his daughter is now an adult

And she decides on her own who resides on the throne
She chooses for herself who holds the highest position of power in her life

I'm her king, she my queen, we keep it right in the zone
I am her protector and leader, and she is my partner, and we maintain a balanced and harmonious relationship

And she understands the fact that I'm even right when I'm wrong
She recognizes that even when I make mistakes, I still have a valid perspective

When she was prayin' in church, I was playin' in dirt
While she was engaged in religious activities, I was being mischievous

That's 100, I admit that we both was playin' at first
That's the truth, I acknowledge that both of us were initially not serious

When opposites attract, I ain't always sayin' it works
When two people with differing characteristics come together, it doesn't always lead to a successful relationship

I'm just sayin' ain't no use in me strayin', that make it worse
I'm simply expressing that it doesn't benefit me to wander away from her, as it would only make the situation worse

It's Wu-Tang, baby, my crew bang
This is Wu-Tang Clan, my group is powerful

And she's the preacher's daughter, I just call her my boo thang
And she is the daughter of the preacher, but I affectionately refer to her as my girlfriend

And we tighter than shoestrings, or 10 grand in rubber bands
And our bond is stronger than tightly tied shoestrings or a stack of money held together with rubber bands

Man, sometimes I tell your parents just don't understand
Sometimes I feel like parents don't comprehend the depth of our relationship

Yo, you mean Pastor Brown's daughter?
Wait, are you referring to the daughter of Pastor Brown?

The preacher, the rich slave-maker of the poorer?
The preacher who manipulates and controls the less fortunate for his own gain?

I used to see her Sundays comin' from church
I used to see her on Sundays after she attended church

We used to kick it at her window when her pops at work
We used to hang out at her window when her father was busy with work

Yo, her parents didn't play
Her parents were strict and didn't tolerate misbehavior

She couldn't even come out to play on a school day
She wasn't allowed to go outside and have fun on a school day

Thought she was gonna give me some on April Fool's day
I thought she was jokingly going to engage in sexual activity with me on April Fool's Day

(But no, no way) nah, (no, no-no, no-no, no-no way)
But no, that didn't happen

The preacher's daughter, she an illegitimate child
The preacher's daughter is born out of wedlock

She know the word, but she be runnin' in them streets foul
She is familiar with religious teachings, but she engages in immoral activities

She married to a man, but she's crushin' his brother now
She is married to one man, but she is romantically interested in his brother now

See her in the market place loud and boisterous
She is noticeable and loud when she is out in public

With tight spandex on, chokin' her oysters
She wears tight clothing that accentuates her body while she enjoys seafood dishes

She a seductress in the form of a goddess
She is a woman who entices others with her beauty and charm, resembling a divine being

Never virtuous or modest, poison the part is
She lacks moral goodness or humility, and her presence is harmful

Breakin' the vessel, turn brother against brother
By seducing men, she destroys relationships between siblings

Man, that's how she molest you
This is how she manipulates and takes advantage of you

That's why the preacher man prolly a mess too
That's why the preacher man is probably in a disturbed state as well

Cause the fruit that she devourin' is evil
Because the people she seduces and manipulates are corrupt

Never sin around righteous people
She avoids committing sinful acts in the presence of morally upright individuals

Black widow, preacher's daughter comin' to eat you
She is like a black widow spider, preying on and consuming men

I met her on the bus stop with black eyes
I encountered her at a bus stop when she had bruises around her eyes

That's why she said she don't fuck with black guys
That's why she claimed she doesn't engage in intimate relationships with black men

I cleaned her up, fed her all my wisdom
I helped her recover from her injuries and shared my knowledge and guidance with her

Her father spit the gospel but she never caught the vision
Her father preached religious teachings, but she didn't fully understand or embrace them

Brutal ass whoopins, always facin' these evictions
She suffered physically abusive beatings and constantly experienced eviction from her homes

So she only fuck with thugs that'll wind up in the system
As a result, she only engages in relationships with dangerous individuals who will end up in the criminal justice system

Them greasy bastards quick to squeeze a ratchet
Those grimy individuals are quick to use a firearm

Never knew the science of virtue, Ecclesiastes
They lack an understanding of the principles of morality and wisdom found in the book of Ecclesiastes

Like, a time for peace, a time for war
For example, there are appropriate times for peace and times for conflict

A time to laugh though, she never felt God before
There are also times for joyous laughter, but she has never experienced a connection with God

Eternal love that'll pop like a kernel, this is grown folk talk
True, everlasting love that will blossom like a kernel popping, addressing mature subjects

Between me and her, it don't concern you
The details of our relationship are not your concern
