"Through God's Eyes"

Chorus

Whats it gotta be like to watch us?

Whats it gotta be like not bein able to stop us?

Whats it gotta be like to watch the world goin to hell?

Whats it gotta be like watchin every man as they fell?

Whats it gotta be like bein there as soon as we cry?

Whats it gotta be like through god's eyes?

Verse 1

I'm not sayin theres a god, but what if there is?

What do you think he'd say about the way the world is?

Would he be mad? Would he be sad?

If he made the world, would he regret that he had?

People diein everyday, every which way

Half the time without a reason

Bein the maker of that can't be too pleasin

Half the worlds evil, other halfs just pretendin

Whats it gonna be like when the worlds at its endin

When we're all judged on how we've been livin?

Will you be ready or will you be hidden?

Tryin to hide from god's eyes

As he picks through the lies

That we've all told, it gets old

Bein stabbed in the back by your 'so called' friends

I can't help but wait for this world to 'so called' end

I wanna see what happens with this rappin

Will I ever take off and launch

Or will I be stuck on ground

Lookin around, where's the world at now?

Sometimes its like its over, I'm ready to die

But then I think, what's this like through god's eyes?

Chorus

Verse 2

All my life I've been told that Gods always here

Does that mean he's seen me cry ever tear?

When I wanna die every year?

Has he really been with me this whole time?

Is he sitting next to me while I write this whole rhyme?

But then how you explain all the tragedies and terror

Why wasn't god there?

Why didn't he stop it? Why didn't he care?

Everytime a kid disappears, where did he go?

Or when I was bein pressured into beer, there, did he show?

If there really's a god, then does he really have an explanation?

Did he expect more? Or did we live up to the expectations?

Sometimes I just wonder if theres a purpose

Is goin through hell really worth this?

Bein betrayed every day, they say what they say

Rumor's get spread, lies get scattered

Lives get shattered, as if any of it mattered

Blood's bein splattered

Like paint on a canvas, we can't have this

Is the world just some picture? Is that all we are?

When youre girls there with ya, in the back of your car

Just before you go and mess up your lives

Just think: Hows this look in god's eyes?

Chorus

Verse 3

I ain't even religious, but somehow it happened

A song about god, I find myself rappin

But what would it be like to be the heavleny father?

Everyone on the Earth's ****in up, why even bother?

In the ghetto its just puttin bodies in bags

The kids and momma's in rags

Runnin the street in barefeet

Sweatin in the heat, no money to eat

Do they still have faith in god? I wonder

Or what about a pregnant teenage mother?

Her havin this baby, its ruinin he family's lives

7 months pregnant, and can't even drive

Does that family still pray everyday?

I doubt it, Not sayin to have faith, but look what you are without it

No hopes, no dreams, just the broken seams

Of what you used to call your life, cuz you gave up

Stopped tryin to move ahead and save up

Every paycheck, you blow it, you know it

You're scared there's really a god, come on show it

Now just cuz I don't believe, doesn't mean to follow me

You should always have a dream

Stick with your beliefs, never let anyone take um

Cuz they took um from me, Id watch as theyd break um

It's like I saw my life shatter right in front of me

I was a lonely soul, lost, like God was shunnin me

Don't end up like me, that wouldn't be wise

What would god think, if he was seein it through his eyes?

Chorus
