Faithful (Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival, 2005) Common

[Chorus]
(Faithful to the end) Yeah, we got to be
(Faithful to the end) Clap your hands y'all, I wanna be
(Faithful to the end)
(I'd like to be her very best friend)
Clap your hands, uh, yeah

[Interlude]
I wrote this song called "Faithful"
And what it's about, it's about being faithful to the most high God
Creator of all things
See, a lot of people ask me about who God is
You know, all I know is God created the Heavens and the earth
And there's only one God
So, I wrote this song thinking about, 'What if God was a woman?
How would it be? How would we react? How would I react?'
And this is my commitment and my letter to God
And I want y'all to check it out and just listen
Uh, and just clap your hands and listen, check it

[Verse 1]
I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred
What if God was a her?
Would I treat her the same? Would I still be runnin' game on her?
In what type of ways would I want her?
Would I want her for her mind or her heavenly body?
Couldn't be out gettin' bogus with someone so godly
If I was wit' her would I still be wantin' my ex?
The lies, the greed, the weed, the sex
Wouldn't be ashamed to give her part of my check
Wearin' her cross, I mean the heart on my neck
Her, I would reflect on the streets of the Chi'
Ride wit' her, 'cause I know for me she'd die
Through good and bad call on her like I'm chirpin' her
Couldn't be jealous, other brothers worship her
Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful
To be in her presence, yo, I gotta stay...
