On GOD [Feat. Freddie Gibbs, A-Trak]

[00:44.65] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[00:46.74] Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie
[00:53.21] On God, uh-huh
[00:57.27] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[00:59.61] Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie
[01:05.97] On God, uh-huh
[01:10.04] They say life's a bitch, but we break bitches down
[01:13.18] Acid by the sheets, ganja by the pounds
[01:16.32] Nigga in my city, I move like Nino Brown
[01:19.44] Bitches, rub your titties, haters, take these rounds
[01:22.33] Spin the block again, just to watch it bleed out
[01:25.62] The devil fucking with me, cause God gave me style
[01:29.17] Diamonds in my mouth, what is you about
[01:32.06] Back against the wall, time is running out
[01:35.16] My father sat me down and said You know what son
[01:37.92] The best way to rob the bank to own you one
[01:41.18] I hear his voice saying, Chin up, I'm still here son
[01:44.72] They kill me in the flesh, but my soul lives on
[01:47.89] The thin veil between dimensions
[01:50.13] I can see him when I'm squinting
[01:51.82] Reversed this curse, my tears are falling to the ceiling
[01:54.67] I hear his voice in my head repeating
[01:57.09] Son, hold your papa down, show 'em you a leader
[01:59.91] Avenge my death, do not take a rest to take a breather
[02:03.01] You are the chosen one, what my papa used to teach me
[02:06.62] Dear Lord, Heavenly Father wherever you are
[02:10.22] I'm bringing myself to you in humbleness form
[02:13.41] I just want answers, what the fuck did I do wrong
[02:16.49] Confusion, I'm lost, man, shit shattered my heart, fam
[02:20.46] Oh man, I guess it's God, was all planned
[02:23.37] Earth, death, resurrection, boy, here we go again
[02:26.25] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[02:28.71] Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie
[02:35.08] On God, uh-huh
[02:38.72] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[02:41.33] Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie
[02:47.85] On God, uh-huh
[02:51.65] Twice upon a time, there was a nigga who died
[02:54.42] On both occasions I got arrested over the homicide
[02:57.36] Then seventy-two hours passed, no evidence
[02:59.28] I was right back in the ride
[03:00.43] I'm out for the presidents serving these residents nigga
[03:02.77] That's how I survive, on God
[03:04.45] Lord know He got a date for me
[03:05.69] Young nigga make these plays for me
[03:07.22] Dope in the cut, I'ma rock it all up
[03:08.96] You can post up, serve these Js for me
[03:10.58] Nigga, fuck rap, crime pays for me
[03:12.15] Still get a load off occasionally
[03:13.57] Fuck nigga get the fuck away from me
[03:15.11] If you ain't down to sit in that cage with me, yeah
[03:17.17] If I wasn't rapping, would I still be trapping
[03:18.74] I don't know, that's a hell of a question
[03:20.21] Coulda went to school, got a law degree
[03:21.48] But instead I got me a bitch and a weapon
[03:23.36] Fuck niggas sneak dissing me, throwing hints at me
[03:25.43] Ho, respect it, or check it
[03:26.60] If I wasn't trapping, would a nigga start rapping
[03:28.36] I don't know, that's one hell of a question, on God
[03:29.71] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[03:32.37] Don't you dare laugh, 'cause that boy was I, no lie
[03:38.42] On God, uh-huh

[03:55.37] You know I'm a legend, I know I'm a legend
[03:58.30] When I die, they gon' cry like 9 11
[04:00.64] They say that God made us in his image, not his essence
[04:04.71] There's a big difference, I got a billion questions
[04:07.61] Brave encounters, pushing daisies, angels engraved on my casket
[04:10.59] I am proof, God do indeed bleed, no need for asking
[04:13.90] Examine, what is said, not who speaks it, major factor
[04:17.25] If they love you when you least deserve it, you know it's over, okay
[04:20.45] Disgusting, nasty, last tango that I had in Paris was a bad one
[04:25.56] Bought a new smile, just to help me hide the sadness
[04:28.35] You can punch all night in mic and still not be a champion
[04:31.58] (Still not be a champion)
[04:33.03] Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[04:37.82] Boy who died
[04:39.04] Twice up-, twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
[04:44.19] Boy who died, on God
[04:45.93]
