Preach ft. Thief Club Lyrics

When you gonna practice what you preach

I been sitting through your sermons every week

Seems like all I ever see you do is speak

But your words cannot go further than your reach

Tell me, when you gonna practice what you preach

I am the witness up in your head

Listening along to them words you said

Yeah, I bet your soapbox feels real nice

When will you follow your own advice

"Do what I say, not what I do"

Why should anyone believe what you're saying is true

Can't follow through with no plan to pursue

So when you gonna practice what you preach

I been sitting through your sermons every week (Yeah)

Seems like all I ever see you do is speak (Yeah)

But your words cannot go further than your reach (Yeah)

Tell me, when you gonna practice what you

Preaching, preaching, all across the weekend

What you gonna do with them words you're speaking

Are you gonna live 'em, are you gonna just give 'em away

Then it doesn't matter what you say

When what you say does not convey

The life that you're living today

Let's just be real with it

Everybody deal with a little bit of realness

Tell me can you feel this (Ay)

In the essence of the presence of your breath in every present moment

Tell me, can you feel this

You words have caused a talk throughout this town

It's not too late for you to turn around (Turn around)

If you can't follow through then shut your mouth (Shut your mouth)

Your reputation's going down, down, down, down, down

So practice what you preach

Yeah, practice what you preach

So practice what you preach

Even in the silence, feels like a clutter

Voice in your mind that feels like another

Too many lies, your tongue wants to stutter

Too many drugs, your heart starts to flutter

One more line to justify

Can't hide the truth you feel inside

The means to an end, time after time

Will year you apart, if you don't see the light

Can't shut it off, can't get it out

Sounds worse in your head than it does from your mouth

But it's getting too loud, feels like a crowd

All you can say is "shhh"

When you gonna practice what you been preaching

Sitting through your sermons every single weekend

All I ever see you doing is speaking

Words cannot go further than reach

When you gonna practice what you been preaching

Sitting through your sermons every single weekend

All I ever see you do is just speak

When you gonna practice what you preach
