Holier Than Thou (Feat. Krizz Kaliko & Strange Lane Choir)

[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]
 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
 and 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 and 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 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
 (Hold your only) Your soul and if you know it wont you
 (Show me, show me) You can see me if you look up for a
 (While) 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
 Gettin hookers out of my system (get you out of my system)
 See thats how he tricks em
 Let em sip 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
 (Hold your only) Your soul and if you know it wont you
 (Show me, show me) You can see me if you look up for a
 (While) 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
