De Las' Word I Heerd Him Say
I met dat liar de udder day,
I spoke to him about prayin',
De las' word I heard him say,
He didn't have prayin' on his mind.
CHORUS: Liar, God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
Hit's scanderlous en er shame.
I met dat hypocrit de udder day,
I spoke to him about prayin',
De las' word I heard him say,
He didn't have prayin' on his mind.
CHORUS: Hypocrit, God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
Hit's scanderlous en er shame.
I met dat backslider de udder day,
I spoke to him about prayin',
De las' word I heard him say,
He didn't have prayin' on his mind.
CHORUS: Backslider, God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
God don't lac hit en I doan neither
Hit's scanderlous en er shame.
