Song lyrics

[Intro: Common]
We got to be...
I want to be...
Yes!
That for the people.
God moves.

[Verse 1: Common]
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, ‘cause other brothers worship her,
Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful,
To be in her presence, I try to stay faithful.

[Chorus:]
Faithful to the end,
Faithful to the end,
Faithful to the end,
I'd like to be her very best friend.

[Verse 2: Common]
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 Benét.
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 tryna get my life together.”
Went home to his lady, these were his confessions,
"Baby, you a blessing and my best friend."

[Chorus:]
Faithful to the end,
Faithful to the end,
Faithful to the end,
I'd like to be her very best friend.

[Outro: Bilal & John Legend]
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 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!
