I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne

You're so fly, your so high
Everybody around you trying to figure out why
Your so cool, you win all the time
Everywhere you go man you get a lot of shine
You're draw like a magnet better yet I have it
Everything you wear people say they got have it
From the sweat suit to the white tee to the Gucci
You can probably say people wanna get like me

But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors, man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is your on your knees
So the next time you get a chance tell 'em

It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me

You see her style you think she nice
You look at her whip you say the whip tight
You look at her crib you thinkin' she's paid
You look at her life, now you think she's got it made
But everything she's got the girl's been given
She calls it a blessing but you call it living
When it comes to money she can be a hero
She writes them checks with a whole lot of zeros

But what you don't know is when she get home
And get behind closed doors, man she hits the floor
And what you can't see is she's on her knees
If you ask her she'll tell you

It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me

What is it you think you see
When you see me, you see me
You don't know how much I pray
Don't know how much I gave
Don't know how much I changed
I'm just tryna explain

It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me, yeah
God in me, yeah yeah
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me, oh oh yeah yeah
