Scarface - God lyrics

rate me

ft. John Legend

(Verse)

If I had to play God for a day I would open up the gates let the world see my face

Remove all doubt from the ones without the faith

And put em on the path of the straight

A safe place, for the young to come out if they wanna play

I let their momas know that they ok

And when y'all pray, I'll respond so you can all see a sign

And answer every pray one at a time

If I'm God

All the stabbings all the war would come to cease

My whole entire hood would be at peace

No more beef

And you could sleep without the fears of bein woke

By the sounds of sirens, screams of people bein smoke

No more dope you don't need it

You'll be cured of all diseases

Your whole entire life would be deleted

Please forgive me I've been dreamin

And rudely interrupted by the demons

Laughed at the picture I was seein on the ceilin

(Hook)

Who listens when we pray?

Who pulls the strings of the world as we struggle today?

Will you show your face?

I don't wanna wait wait, wait 'til I die

Wait, wait, wait for my eyes to close

Smile on your own child's nose

God has a face

(Verse)

Just imagine if the devil had a day

And God had took a break and walked away

Would you feel safe?

If everythin you loved turned into hate

Will the dark angel's evil show you grace

Only to be eaten by a snake

One life, one mistake

Be careful of the choices that you make

Cuz one day you'll be standin on your feet and then the next

You're underneath the sheet greetin death

I wonder when I sleep is he there sittin on my chest, stealin breath

Shortenin my days even less

More souls never rest

A killer walks the streets seekin flesh

A adolescent hangs she depressed

A priest who confessed

A judged typin a nigga in a text

Your honor what the fuck did you expect

A father kills his son look at life it's a mess

Just imagine what would happen if the lord up and left

(Hook)

(Verse)

When all that you believed in was a lie

Are you willin to accept it when you find out

Or try to reason with yourself that's what it is when it's not

And all the whole while it's been a plot

To poison our minds and leave us blind to the fact

That they keep us in the dark know they act

We react all surprised and not realize that

This shit a trap

Thought religion was the answer but the answer wasn't that

The church and these politics they all full of crap

It's a shame but that's how were blamin it's for the scratch

So I don't knock I'm trynna to put a black card in my wallet

But some dollars in my pocket ain't the topic

Y'all need to stop it

This is just crazy these little babies tickin time bombs

Walkin around the lunchroom pullin guns

If mama and daddy took the time to raise their son

Then the sister wouldn't be the mom before she 21 huh

(Hook)
