Big Boi
On GOD
[Chorus: Meechy Darko]
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie
On God, uh-huh
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie
On God, uh-huh

[Verse 1: Meechy Darko]
They say life's a bitch, but we break bitches down
Acid by the sheets, ganja by the pounds
N***a in my city, I move like Nino Brown (Facts)
Bitches, rub your titties, haters, take these rounds
Spin the block again just to watch him bleed out
The devil fuckin' with me 'cause God gave me style
Diamonds in my mouth, what is you about?
Back against the wall, time is runnin' out
My father sat me down and said "You know what son?
The best way to rob the bank to own you one"
I hear his voice sayin' "Chin up, I'm still here son
They kill me in the flesh, but my soul lives on"
The thin veil between dimensions
I can see him when I'm squintin'
Reversed this curse, my tears are fallin' to the ceilin'
I hear his voice in my head repeatin'
"Son, hold your papa down, show 'em you a leader
Avenge my death, do not take a rest or take a breather
You are the chosen one," what my papa used to teach me
Dear Lord, Heavenly Father wherever You are
I'm bringin' myself to You in humblest form
I just want answers, what the fuck did I do wrong?
Confusion, I'm lost, man, shit shattered my heart, fam
Oh man, I guess it's God, was all planned
Birth, death, resurrection, boy, here we go again
[Chorus: Meechy Darko & Freddie Gibbs]
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie
On God, uh-huh
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie (Twice upon a time, yeah)
On God, uh-huh (Big Rabbit, Kane train, yeah, hold up)

[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Twice upon a time, there was a n***a who died
On both occasions I got arrested over the homicide
Then seventy-two hours passed, no evidence
I was right back in the ride
I'm out for the presidents servin' these residents n***a
That's how I survive, on God
Lord know He got a date for me
Young n***a make these plays for me
Dope in the cut, I'ma rock it all up
You can post up, serve these Js for me
N***a, fuck rap, crime pays for me
Still get a load off occasionally
Fuck n***a get the fuck away from me
If you ain't down to sit in that cage with me, yeah
If I wasn't rappin', would I still be trappin'?
I don't know, that's a hell of a question
Coulda went to school, got a law degree
But instead I got me a brick and a weapon
Fuck n***as sneak dissin' me, throwin' hints at me
Ho, respect it, or check it
If I wasn't trappin', would a n***a start rappin'?
I don't know, that's a hell of a question, on God
[Chorus: Meechy Darko]
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie
On God, uh-huh
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Don't you dare laugh 'cause that boy was I, no lie
On God, uh-huh

[Verse 3: Meechy Darko]
You know I'm a legend, I know I'm a legend
When I die, they gon' cry like 9/11
They say that God made us in his image, not his essence
There's a big difference, I got a billion questions
Grave encounters, pushin' daisies, angels engraved on my casket
I am proof, God do indeed bleed, no need for asking
Examine, what is said, not who speaks it, major factor
If they love you when you least deserve it, you know it's over, okay
Disgustin', nasty, last tango that I had in Paris was a bad one
Bought a new smile, just to help me hide the sadness
You can punch harder than Mike, and still not be a champion
(Still not be a champion)

[Outro: Meechy Darko]
Twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Boy who died
Twice up—, twice upon a time, there was a boy who died
Boy who died, on God
