Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if God was one of us?
Just some thug like one of us
Lookin' for love in the club like one of us
Tryna make it out the slums like one of us
What if God is one of us?
Just a thug like one of us
Gettin' it out the mud like one of us
Makin' calls to the plug like one of us
[Verse 2]
Makin' calls to the plug, tryna ball, goin' hard
I'm not ballin' enough, I got scars on my heart
Come from fallin' in love, from my knees every night
Placin' calls up above, seem like God won't pick up
[Verse 3]
If Heaven won't show me a way then
Guide me when I grip the weapons
'Cause in this city we have a need
And it's kill or you gettin' killed
I was taught to keep it real
Misguided in the field
Forgive me I done gripped the steel
[Verse 4]
She the devil, she was bad
Long weave, buku ass, brown nutmeg
Pretty faces when I'm hittin' her from the back
And I got caught and I ain't rest 'em
Buku guys she ain't hit back
I done been to hell and back
'Cause I done been to jail and back
[Verse 5]
What if God was one of us?
Just some thug like one of us
Lookin' for love in the club like one of us
Tryna make it out the slums like one of us
What if God is one of us?
Just a thug like one of us
Gettin' it out the mud like one of us
Makin' calls to the plug like one of us
[Verse 6]
Makin' calls to the plug, got fell off, then got up
I'm standin' tall no matter what, real **** never budge
Thinkin', "Thou shall not judge," while I stood in front the judge
Media, they tellin' lies about me, that don't matter much
[Verse 7]
I ain't not turnin' up
I just got back from the future
Don't know what I'm speakin' of
I ain't not turnin' up
Leave you leakin' just for reachin'
Ain't no drinkin' out my cup
[Verse 8]
Are they yellow? Aw, yes
Slim, she Barbie doll bad
She got pregnant from my partner
So I had to fall back
She was with another rapper
Hold up, I can't talk bad
Text her once, she call back
If I ain't a dick slanger
Tell me, what you call that?
[Verse 9]
What if God was one of us?
Just some thug like one of us
Lookin' for love in the club like one of us
Tryna make it out the slums like one of us
What if God is one of us?
Just a thug like one of us
Gettin' it out the mud like one of us
Makin' calls to the plug like one of us
[Verse 10]
Out the mud
Makin' calls to the plug like one of us
Out the mud
Makin' calls to the plug like one of us
