one of us

what if god was one of us

just a slob like one of us

just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home

tryna make his way home

she was eight years old when her brother was shot

he got caught walking from the school down her own block

couldn't take the pain

so she turned up on the streets at only 16

what if you grew up in a happy home

and go to church every sunday to thank the lord

after work

you were walking down the street

saw that girl on the corner

would you turn the other cheek?

what if god was one of us? how would we know?

and if there is an afterlife

where would we go?

'cause i don't mean the hell on earth before

i've seen too many people lose their soul

we're all looking for the answer

praying to the sky

but maybe we should look inside

papa never loved her

mama never hugged her

so she grew up in that

what if god was one of us

just a slob like one of us

just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home

tryna make his way

if i didn't say this

it would be truly wasted

i am an emanation

here's a demonstration

excuse me if i'm blatant

but i've been really patient

i see it in every single thing that's been created

girl on the corner or that thief in jail

just ask

they all got a story to tell

i know you got secrets hidden in scars

whether we throwing ones in churches and strip bars

what if god was one of us? how would we know?

and if there is an afterlife

where would we go?

'cause i don't mean the hell on earth before

i've seen too many people lose their soul

we're all looking for the answer

praying to the sky

but maybe we should look inside

papa never loved her

mama never hugged her

so she grew up in that

what if god was one of us

just a slob like one of us

just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home

tryna make his way

i wanna bleed lyrics

leave people blessed

but with this fame

it's a test

i best get a vest for my soul 'cause i'm gonna need it

'cause all the prophets in the past

man they've been deleted

but i'ma say this from my heart

the world needs more love

and i'm still praying to that light from above

so fuck what you heard and what you thought you knew

tell me what would you do?

what if god was one of us

just a slob like one of us

just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home?

what if god was one of us

just a slob like one of us

just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home?

tryna make his way home

what if god was one of us tryna make his way home?
