Song lyrics One of us by Ja Rule

(One of us) Yeah, Rule
(One uf us) Yeah, nigga
If God were one of us
(One of us) What about that?
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 Devil cross, oneīs for the soul oneīs for the body
If Iīm built then God dies, I wanna see God cry
Real tears from a burned out life in ten years
I sware I got the Devil in me, with no fear
If I hear I canīt see, if I see I canīt hear
Itīs the eerie little thing between deathness and blindness
Weakness and kindness, rejects and primaz
Iīm on this when Iīm hollerinī, "Dear Lord, take me" (One of us)
(Baby) īCuz I ainīt really happy here, can you blame me?
This game done changed me, made me an animal
I canīt even laugh no more, my kids smile for me now
Iīm the one-and-only, my mommaīs only child
Lord, save me before I go crazy
īCuz if you, live through the strain
just to die from the pain, tell me
Would you believe that you could breathe again?

[Chorus]
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 freakinī 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?

Yo, yo
Now letīs look at things through my right hand
What if you was that man?
Would you run wit me? Gun wit me?
Would you understand the husstlinī, the struggeling
Live amongst dope heads, raisinī your kids and runninī from the Feds
Weīd be bound to bump heads, īcuz you livinī my life
All righteous, and you said livinī righteous was right
But thereīs two sides to life - one dark, one light
If you lighten up forever you can dig to the night
Wrap them guns over there, and bring īem on ovaī here (One of us)
īCuz my God is bigger down your god down here
Now we ride jet sled baby, bubble in Ba-Namb
īCuz Rule and the Lord got it goinī on
Been, known to do bad shit, Iīm 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?

[Chorus]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yo
Letīs trade places, Rule be Spirit, God be flesh
And letīs see just how, weak the flesh gets
Now you call on me, "Every night bend your knee"
Until your start to realize I ainīt answerinī
Now you hang up the phone, Lord, pick up the chrome, Lord
Can I blame you, Lord, for needinīa feed whatīs yours?
Got a wife that you love, yet you still lust whores
And Iīm supposted to judge you, on earth where itīs ugly
You might as well aim at the sky, slug me (One of us)
īCuz I ainīt beinī a Fair God, when life is so hard
I know whatīchu goinī through, every move you make
Every crime committed every little mistake
I still got love for ya, fair is fair
As long as you repent youīll be good up here (Baby)
īCuz if you, live through the strain
just to die from the pain, tell me
Would you believe that you could breathe again?

[Chorus x4]
