On GOD (feat. Freddie Gibbs & A-Trak)

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh

They say life's a bitch, but we break bitches down

Acid by the sheets, ganja by the pounds

**** in my city, I move like Nino Brown

Bitches, rub your titties, haters, take these rounds

Spin the block again, just to watch it bleed out

The devil fuckin' with me, 'cause God gave me style

Diamonds in my mouth, what is you about?

Back against the wall, time is runnin' out

My father sat me down and said "You know what, son?"

"The best way to rob the bank to own you one"

I hear his voice sayin' "Chin up, I'm still here, son"

"They kill me in the flesh, but my soul lives on"

The thin veil between dimensions

I can see him when I'm squintin'

Reversed this curse, my tears are fallin' to the ceilin'

I hear his voice in my head repeatin'

"Son, hold your papa down, show 'em you a leader"

Avenge my death, do not take a rest or take a breather

"You are the chosen one", what my papa used to teach me

Dear Lord, Heavenly Father wherever you are

I'm bringin' myself to you in humblest form

I just want answers, what the fuck did I do wrong?

Confusion, I'm lost, man, shit shattered my heart, fam

Oh man, I guess it's God, was all planned

Earth, death, resurrection, boy, here we go again

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh (Yeah, on God)

Big Rabbit, Kane train, yeah, hold up

Twice upon a time, there was a **** who died

On both occasions I got arrested over the homicide

Then seventy-two hours passed, no evidence

I was right back in the ride

I'm out for the presidents, servin' these residents

****, that's how I survive, on God

Lord know He got a date for me

Young **** make these plays for me

Dope in the cut, I'ma rock it all up

You can post up, serve these J's for me

****, fuck rap, crime pays for me

Still get a load off occasionally

Fuck **** get the fuck away from me

If you ain't down to sit in that cage with me, yeah

If I wasn't rappin', would I still be trappin'?

I don't know, that's a hell of a question

Coulda went to school, got a law degree

But instead I got me a brick and a weapon

Fuck **** sneak dissin' me, throwin' hints at me

Ho, respect it, or check it

If I wasn't trappin', would a **** start rapping?

I don't know, that's one hell of a question, on God

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie

On God, uh-huh

You know I'm a legend, I know I'm a legend

When I die, they gon' cry like 9/11

They say that God made us in his image, not his essence

There's a big difference, I got a billion questions

Brave encounters, pushin' daisies, angels engraved on my casket

I am proof, God do indeed bleed, no need for asking

Examine, what is said, not who speaks it, major factor

If they love you when you least deserve it, you know it's over, okay

Disgustin', nasty, last tango that I had in Paris was a bad one

Bought a new smile, just to help me hide the sadness

You can punch all night in mic and still not be a champion

(Still not be a champion)

Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Boy who died

Twice up-, twice upon a time, there was a boy who died

Boy who died, on God

On God
