Píseň: One of Us
(One of us) Yeah, Rule (One uf us) Yeah, nigga 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 then God dies, I wanna see God cry Real tears from a burned out life in ten years I sware 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 deathness and blindness Weakness and kindness, rejects and primaz I'm on this when I'm hollerin', "Dear Lord, take me" (One of us) (Baby) 'Cuz 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 'Cuz if you, live through the strain just to die from the pain, tell me Would you believe that you could breathe again? [Chorus] 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? Yo, yo Now let's look at things through my right hand What if you was that man? Would you run wit me? Gun wit me? Would you understand the husstlin', the struggeling Live amongst dope heads, raisin' your kids and runnin' from the Feds We'd be bound to bump heads, 'cuz 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 ova' here (One of us) 'Cuz my God is bigger down your god down here Now we ride jet sled baby, bubble in Ba-Namb 'Cuz 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? [Chorus] Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yo 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 your 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'a 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) 'Cuz I ain't bein' a Fair God, when life is so hard I know what'chu 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) 'Cuz if you, live through the strain just to die from the pain, tell me Would you believe that you could breathe again?
