D6sus2                E  
I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred
BWhat if God was a her?
D6sus2                      E  
Would I treat her the same? Would I still be runnin' game on her?
BIn 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 'cause other brothers worship her
Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful
To be in her presence, I try to stay faithful
We got to be
We got to be
We got to be
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 it's 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"
We got to be
We got to be
We got to be
I'd like to be her very best friend
Faithful to the end
Faithful to the end
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, so, so, so, so, so, so faithful
So, so, so, so, so, so, so faithful
So, so, so, so, so, so, so faithful
So, so, so, so, so
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

D6sus2

I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred

What if God was a her?

D6sus2

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 'cause other brothers worship her

Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful

To be in her presence, I try to stay faithful

We got to be

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 it's 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

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, so, so, so, so, so, so faithful

So, so, so, so, so

That's what I'm gonna do, faithful to the end

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
