What if you was that man? Would you run wit me? Gun wit me?
(One of us)
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
If God were one of us
Can I blame you, Lord, for needin' a feed what's yours?
I swear I got the devil in me with no fear
Lord, when I die pacify, crucify me
I rock a double cross, one's for the soul one's for the body
(One of us)
This game done changed me made me an animal
(One of us)
(One of us)
If God were one of us
If God were one of us
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
(One of us)
Tell me, would you believe that you could breathe again?
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
If God were one of us
'Cuz if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
(One of us)
Lord, save me before I go crazy
If God were one of us
(One of us)
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
'Cause if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
Got a wife that you love yet you still lust whores
(One of us)
(One of us)
I can't even laugh no more, my kids smile for me now
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
(One of us)
What the fuck would I do?
If God were one of us
(One of us)
Let's trade places, Rule be spirit God be flesh
(One of us)
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
If God were one of us
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
What if he was? What if he was me?
If God were one of us
(One of us)
Would you understand the husslin', the struggelin'
(One of us)
If God were one of us
If I hear I can't see if I see I can't hear
If God were one of us
Real tears from a burnt out life of ten years
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
If God were one of us
(One of us)
Now let's look at things from a right hand
(One of us)
We'd be bound to bump heads, 'cuz you livin' my life
I'm mindless when I'm hollerin' dear Lord, take me
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
(One of us)
Tell me, would you believe that you could breathe again?
If God were one of us
And I'm supposed to judge you on earth where it's ugly
If God were one of us
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
(One of us)
'Cuz my god is bigger down your god down here
Fair is fair as long as you repent, you'll be good up here, baby
(One of us)
One of us, one of us, one of us
Until you start to realize I ain't answerin'
(One of us)
'Cuz I ain't really happy here, can you blame me?
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
Been known to do bad shit, I'm so heavenly but so devilish
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
If God were one of us
(One of us)
Now you hang up the phone, Lord, pick up the chrome, Lord
(One of us)
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
Yeah, if God were one of us, what about that?
If God were one of us
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
Every move you make every crime committed
(One of us)
'Cuz I ain't bein' a fair God when life is so hard
(One of us)
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
If I'm built in God's eyes I wanna see God cry
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
You might as well aim at the sky, slug me
Now we ride jet sled baby, bubble in ba-namb
(One of us)
If God were one of us
(One of us)
If God were one of us
One of us, one of us, one of us
Grab them guns over there and bring 'em all ova' here
I'm the one and only my momma's only child
If God were one of us
And let's see just how weak the flesh gets
All righteous and you said livin' righteous was right
Every little mistake and still got love for you
I know what you goin' through
If God were one of us
Would he sin and love to lie? I wanna know
If God were one of us
Weakness and kindness, rejects and crime
If God were one of us
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
(One of us)
One of us, one of us, one of us
Would he use his name in vain? I need to know
(One of us)
Tell me, would you believe that you could breathe again?
Now you call on me every night bended knee
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
(One of us)
(One of us)
Livin' amongst dope heads, raisin' your kids and runnin' from the feds?
If God were one of us
If you lighten up forever you condemned to the night
'Cuz Rule and the Lord got it goin' on
If you live through the strain just to die from the pain
If God were one of us
But there's two sides to life, one dark, one light
Would he freakin' live his life? I wanna know
It's the eerie little thing between deafness and blindness
Would he believe that he could breathe again?
If God were one of us
