Texty: Ja Rule. Rule 3:36. One Of Us.

(One of us)
Yeah, Rule
(One of us)
Yeah, if God were one of us, what about that?
(One of us)
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 double cross, one's for the soul one's for the body
If I'm built in God's eyes I wanna see God cry
Real tears from a burnt out life of ten years

I swear 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 deafness and blindness
Weakness and kindness, rejects and crime

I'm mindless when I'm hollerin' dear Lord, take me
(One of us)
'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?

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?

Now let's look at things from a right hand
What if you was that man? Would you run wit me? Gun wit me?
Would you understand the husslin', the struggelin'
Livin' 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 condemned to the night

Grab them guns over there and bring 'em all 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?

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?

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 bended knee
Until you 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 supposed 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 you goin' through
Every move you make every crime committed
Every little mistake and still got love for you

Fair is fair as long as you repent, you'll be good up here, baby
'Cause if you live through the strain just to die from the pain
Tell me, would you believe that you could breathe again?

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?

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?

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?

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?

One of us, one of us, one of us
One of us, one of us, one of us
One of us, one of us, one of us
One of us, one of us, one of us
