I know I’m preaching to the congregation

from Kanye West (Ft. Rick Ross) – Devil in a New Dress Lyrics on Rap Genius

A play on the idiom “preaching to the choir” which means trying to convince a person or group of a belief that they already believe in

Kanye’s version actually makes more sense, since actual preachers do their preaching to the congregation and not (directly) to the choir. Half of the choir are just there for the singing practice anyway
