One of Us

(One of us) Yeah, Rule

(One uf us) Yeah, ****

If God were one of us

(One of us) What about that?

What if he was?

What if he was me?

(One of us) What the fuck would I do?

Lord, when I die, pacify, crucify me

I rock a devil cross, one's for the soul, one's for the body

If I'm built in God's eyes, I wanna see God cry

Real tears from a burnt out life in ten 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 the eerie little thing between deafness and blindness

Weakness and kindness, rejects and primers

I'm on this when I'm hollerin', "Dear Lord, take me" (One of us)

'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 one and only, my momma's 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 could breathe again?

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?

(Yeah, yeah)

Now let's look at things through my right hand

What if you was that man?

Would you run with me? Gun with me?

Would you understand the hustlin', the strugglin'

Live amongst dope heads, raisin' your kids and runnin' from the Feds

We'd be bound to bump heads, 'cause you livin' my life

All righteous, and you said livin' righteous was right

But there's two sides to life, one dark, one light

If you lighten up forever, you can dig to the night

Wrap them guns over there, and bring 'em on over here (One of us)

'Cause my god is bigger than your god down here

Now we ride jet sled, baby, bubble in Bel-Air

'Cause Rule and the Lord got it goin' on

Been known to do bad shit, I'm so heavenly, but so devilish

If you live through the strain just to die from the pain, tell me

Would you believe that you could breathe again?

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah, yeah)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah, yo)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?

Let's trade places, Rule be spirit, God be flesh

And let's see just how weak the flesh gets

Now You call on me, every night, bend Your knee

Until You start to realize I ain't answerin'

Now You hang up the phone, Lord, pick up the chrome, Lord

Can I blame You, Lord, for needin' to feed what's Yours?

Got a wife that You love yet You still lust whores

And I'm supposted to judge You on Earth where it's ugly

You might as well aim at the sky, slug me (One of us)

'Cause I ain't bein' a fair god when life is so hard

I know what Ya goin' through, every move You make

Every crime committed, every little mistake

I still got love for Ya, fair is fair

As long as You repent, You'll be good up here, baby

'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 were one of us (One of us)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Uh)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Uh)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah, c'mon, tell me)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?

If God were one of us (One of us)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Murda Inc. shit, ****, ain't nothin' touchin' me)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(J to A-R-U-L-E, ****)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(C'mon, c'mon, ah, ah, come and get me)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?

If God were one of us (One of us)

(****)

Would He sin and love to lie? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Yeah, yeah)

Would He freakin' live His life? I wanna know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Tell me, tell me)

Would He use his name in vain? I need to know

If God were one of us (One of us)

(Can you hear me?)

Would He believe that He could breathe again?
