What If Lyrics

What if God was one of us
Just a thug like one of us
Looking 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
Getting in out the mud like one of us
Making calls to the plug like one of us

Making calls to the plug
Trynna ball, going hard I'm not balling enough
I got scars on my heart come from falling in love
On my knees every night placing calls up above
Seems like God won't pick up
If Heaven won't show me a way
Guide me when I grip the weight
'Cause in the city we livin' in it's kill or you getting killed
I was taught to keep it real, misguided in the field (boom boom pop bang bang)
Forgive me I done gripped the steel
She the devil she was bad long weave thick ol' ass
Round enough make pretty faces when I'm hittin' her from the back
And I got caught and I ain't rat, some cuckoo guys she ain't hit back
I done been to hell and back, 'cause I done been to jail and back

What if God was one of us
Just a thug like one of us
Looking 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
Getting in out the mud like one of us
Making calls to the plug like one of us

Making calls to the plug
I fell off then got up
I'm standing tall no matter what
Real nigga never budge
Thinking y'all shall not judge when I stood in front the judge
Media they telling lies about me that don't matter much
Hey now, turn it up
I just got back from the future don't know what I'm thinking of
Hey now, turn it up
Leave you leaking just for reaching ain't no drinking out my cup
Shawty yellow, awe yea, slim she Barbie Doll bad
She got pregnant from my partna so I had to fall back
She was wit' another rapper, hold up I can't talk that
Text her when she call back
If I ain't a dick slanger tell me what you call that

What if God was one of us
Just a thug like one of us
Looking 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
Getting in out the mud like one of us
Making calls to the plug like one of us

Out the mud
Making calls to the plug like one of us
Out the mud
Making calls to the plug like one of us
