Common - Faithful lyrics

(Faithful to thee) We got to be (Faithful to thee) I want to be (Faithful to thee) Yes, its for the people, God moves, yeah 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 s** 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 'cause other brothers worship her Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful To be in her presence I try to stay faithful Faithful to thee Faithful to thee Faithful to thee I'd like to be her very best friend He worked with her, she was his lady's best friend Even if they don't try some ladies test men And this was a test that was bigger than him Some believe its the nature that is given to men He had a good gig, a wife, a kid, a decent home One reason or another couldn't find peace at home She asked, "Why do men always have to stray?" He said, "I'm bad, not as bad as Eric Benet" "I used to take 'em out to eat but they wasn't really eatin' Mighta got a little head but I wasn't really cheatin'" It's hard when your lady don't believe what you say And what you did in the past you gotta live with today She asked if they could spend the night together He thought, and said, "I'm tryin' to get my life together" Went home to his lady, these were his confessions "Baby you a blessin' and my best friend" Faithful to thee Faithful to thee Faithful to thee I'd like to be her very best friend Faithful to thee Faithful to thee I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be so faithful I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be so faithful So [Repeat: x6] So faithful [Bilal & John Legend So [Repeat: x5] That's what I'm gonna do Faithful to the end That's what I'm gonna do Faithful to the end That's what I'm gonna do Faithful to the end [John Legend] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
