One Of Us

Well when I die, pacify, crucify me,
I rock the double cross,
ones for the soul and one for the body
if I'm built in God's eyes, I wanna see God cry
real tears from a burnt out life for 10 years
I swear I got the devil in me with no fear
if I hear I can't see, if I see I can't hear,
it's an eerie little thing between deafness and blindness
weakness and kindness rejects and promise
my mind when I'm hollering dear Lord take me
cause I ain't really happy here can you blame me
this game done changed me made me an animal
I can't even laugh no more my kids smile for me now
I'm the first and only my mammas only child
Lord save me before I go crazy
cause if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
tell me would you believe that you can breathe again
If God was one of us
would he sin and love to lie
I wanna
know if God was one of us
would he frak and live his life
I wanna know
if God was on of us
would he use his name in vein
I need to know
if God was one of us
would he believe that could breathe again
Now lets look at things through a right hand
what if you was that man would you run with him gun with him
would you undertsand the hustle and the strugglin
live amoungst dope heads raising your kids and running from thefeds
we bound to bump heads
cause you living my life
all righteous and you said living righteous was right
but there's two sides of life
one dark one light if lighten up forever you could dim to thenight
grab them guns over there and bring them on over here
cause my God's bigger than your god down here
now we ride jets leir baby, bubble in Belaire
cause Rule and the Lord got it going on
been known to do bad shit I'm so heavenly but so devilish
shit if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
tell me would you believe that you can breathe again
If God was one of us
would he sin and love to lie
I wanna
know if God was one of us
would he frak and live his life
I wanna know
if God was on of us
would he use his name in vein
I need to know
if God was one of us
would he believe that could breathe again
Now trade places Rule be spirit God be flesh
and lets see just how weak the flesh gets
now you call on me every night bended knee
until you start to realize I ain't answering
now you hang up the phone Lord
pick up the chrome Lord
can I blame you Lord needing to feed what's yours
got a wife that you love but you still lust whores
and I'm supposed to judge you on earth where its earthly
you might as well aim at the sky, slug me
cause I ain't being a fair god, when life is so hard
I know every crime committed every little mistake
and still got love for you fair is fair
as long as you repent you'll be good up here
cause if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
tell me would you believe that you could breathe again
If God was one of us
would he sin and love to lie
I wanna
know if God was one of us
would he frak and live his life
I wanna know
if God was on of us
would he use his name in vein
I need to know
if God was one of us
would he believe that could breathe again
If God was one of us
would he sin and love to lie
I wanna
know if God was one of us
would he frak and live his life
I wanna know
if God was on of us
would he use his name in vein
I need to know
if God was one of us
would he believe that could breathe again
