That fukn track slams man. Shit is I'll to the fullest. This right here is that real shit. U won't find anything quite like this here. Shit I grew up on & Brotha Lynch, 3/6,UGK,can't forget them soldiers of No Limit. "Ughhhhh!
This was the first rap I ever wrote. I wrote it in 5 mins. me and my dawg Pastor Troy was in ATL at Patchwerk with super producer Carl Mo. I heard the beat for the first time, Troy had done laid his verse already. When it was my time to go into the booth I really didn't wanna fuck my nigga song up. When I put the headphones on my ears and heard my voice on the mic, I let loose all my pain and shit I had been going through in 8 bars and to be honest when I came out the booth I told them to take it off and Carl Mo said, if you take that verse off I want my beat back shit I laughed and said fuck it bra we gone ride with it, thanks for the luv. A week later it was on the radio V103, 6:00 o'clock it's time for Greg Street to rock! I was riding down 285 in a big ass suburban smoking on a fat ass blunt and all I could say was thank you Jesus it was the first time I ever heard myself on the radio. The lesson of the day is believe in yourself because through God anything is possible! DSGB
That's real bro thanks for the luv, glad we was able to help. I got a new album coming soon, Survive the Drought 01-31-16 nothing but real shit. Keep up the good work, stay down bro.
This song captures fear, anxiety, paranoia, depression, sickness, sadness, anger and hate wrapped up in less than four minutes. Reminds me a great deal of The G. Boys Mind Playing Tricks On Me
Does anyone else think he is one of the most underrated artists of all time? I always make playlists with all my favorite songs from each artists. pastor troy is one of those artists that makes it difficult to pick your favorite songs.
Growing up with older rap like Naghty by nature, NWA, De La Soul, 2Live Crew and so on a gap then Eminem and so on I missed a lot of excellent rappers. Pastor is definitely one I've started buying after hearing a good few tracks. Time I caught up. Any suggestions guys????
Banned in the USA is definitely worth a mention. 2live crew, naughty by nature, NWA, 2pac, biggy and many more were more my time. Anyone any pointers on other great lyricists I should be catching up on. Pastor is definitely one on my play list now.
yeah, man. i love it too. sounds like hes struggling with the battle of good and evil within, as we all do from time to time, and looking for answers - trying to figure it out, as we all should.
Now that i know who I am and still learning who I am in Yah (God) I despise this song. It's disrespectful to the Most High and yet I've been where Pastor Troy was. Looking at the World confused about why he allows death and suffering. We choose evil and innocents suffer due to our sin. We're not Niggas we're are the Chosen of the Most High and until we humble ourselves and repent our condition won't change. It doesn't matter who you vote for, how much money you have, how many guns you have or how much knowledge you have we need the Most High to put us back on top as a whole. Shalom fam.
This song is biblical in the sense that what's evil is twisted to look like it's good. Everything is backwards. The fake Jews are on top the Real Jews are on the bottom. Vice Versa for real. Shalom.
@Slumerican Mystik you obviously didn't get where he was coming from. That shit (for me at least) is about spiritual and mental confusion. Wrong and right. Why are some things considered wrong and why are others considered right. That shit is about that battle within ones self. But on another note you may not be going through any of these situations. So you are could be right or wrong....visa versa.
When I was a young Georgia boy going through those crazy 20s and feeling lost and misunderstood, I remember my dad came into my room and sat down while I had this flowing through the speakers. He didn't say a word. Just sat there and listened. Really listened. He had a stoic expression on the face. When the song ended he stood up, pulled me into him, held me tight and a connection was made. Everything changed after that day.
I used to ride through the hood in a crispy clean drop bumping this on repeat. Brothas could hear me coming 6 blocks away. I'd roll up and they'd shout "YEAH!" as I went by. This is the most lyrically slept on rap song in the history of rap music.
It’s not about being original it’s just that everyone in the industry just about now uses the sound the south created so we don’t even have our very own sound, at least for Georgia.
When I first heard this in high school.. those church bells and troy saying "yeah" psychotically gave me chills and was just listening to a song that reminded me of this song and the shit gives me chills still.. this shit is so real. I can relate to this shit so much and I'm not even from Georgia.
"If heaven was hell and vica versa, and I told you to go to hell...could you tell I cursed ya?" Because actually he'd be say go to heaven...but heaven is hell. Damn dude. Brain exploded.
Eagleflyy Dre the song is based on how we perceive morality or good and evil. If you’re religious he’s pretty much asking is that if a god commands something is it automatically good. If so then he goes on to create a hypothetical world in which a god commanded the exact opposite of what we see as good. It actually based on the euthyphro dilemma which ask wether something is good because god favors it or does god favor something because it’s good.
Hypothetically speaking, the devil could very well be disguised as 'god', and that would bring you back to the question this song proposed in the very beginning.
religious and political leaders want you to do their _evil_ by convincing you that you'll do _good_ gotta look at things from both sides, that's how I understand it
God gone help me blowem up hit the devil with that 4.4.4 🤞🏾✊🏾🎶🔥💪this song telling everybody what’s going on in this world now pastor Troy been here before 😇😇
Bruh first time hearing him and that yeah! First few bars i had to start it over 10 times then looked through the comments just to see if that yeah! Hit anybody else
I remember hearing this beat, but never found out what this song was called. I just discovered it today when someone posted it on their insta story!!!! Love it!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
2023. Anyone goin thru it gotta knock this. Help wit that soul search. Cuz don’t none of us make out outta here unscathed. Y’all be coo out there. There’s a war ragin on.
in my opinion, possibly the best verse I've ever heard as far as content, flow of the words, and the soul in his delivery of it.... intellectually mindblowing in the perspective if this track
I used to listen to this song all the time with my big sis Precious when I was younger, we don’t even talk anymore… It’s crazy how music can hold a memory like a time capsule.
This is a man who has looked good and evil in the eyes. He pulled off the mask in this song. He saw the snakes in the pulpit. He saw the so called evil on the streets save lives.
This is still one of the hardest down south tracks of all time! Now that I'm older and know better I can't agree with the lyrics, but I still can't deny that the song is fire! 🔥
Who hit this in 2024
You know!!!
That fukn track slams man. Shit is I'll to the fullest. This right here is that real shit. U won't find anything quite like this here. Shit I grew up on & Brotha Lynch, 3/6,UGK,can't forget them soldiers of No Limit. "Ughhhhh!

Field Mob... light poles and pine trees
Yea underrated
I was just thinking this man is the most successful unknown underground rapper ever
This song is a state of spiritual confusion and testing, awesome that he expressed it
yeah, man. i love it too. sounds like hes struggling with the battle of good and evil within, as we all do from time to time, and looking for answers - trying to figure it out, as we all should.
The evil within? More like the evil outside trying to persuade him into doing something
Now that i know who I am and still learning who I am in Yah (God) I despise this song. It's disrespectful to the Most High and yet I've been where Pastor Troy was.

Fr bro that’s why I’m here 💯
you can feel the emotion and pain in this song. It’s more real than 99% of the music out there.
PT said this was a poem that he got boo'd for. The beat made it classic.
No way really?...cray
Who are you?
@Slumerican Mystik you obviously didn't get where he was coming from. That shit (for me at least) is about spiritual and mental confusion. Wrong and right.

Yeah I heard him say it in an interview he said some lady thought he was the Antie Christ
How'd he get boo'd for this ? This is some crazy shit !

Damn!! This shit brings back memories back when the south had some sort of originality. Now.......SMDH!

"If heaven was hell and vica versa, and I told you to go to hell...could you tell I cursed ya?" Because actually he'd be say go to heaven...but heaven is hell. Damn dude. Brain exploded.
Heaven is hell? 😐 y’all let this song confuse you a little too much.
Exactly!
