build it with a contrast: verses = gritty, clever, rapid-fire rap, while the hook opens up with choir/orchestra energy.
ON GOD
[INTRO — spoken, low and serious]
Yeah…
I don’t know who needs to hear this…
But everything I’m about to say is true.
On God.
I woke up late this morning — on God.
I hit snooze like eight times — on God.
I ain’t even wanna get outta bed — on God.
But I did.
Why?
’Cause I had to take a piss.
On God.
⸻
[VERSE 1 — RAP]
I said I’m on my way, I was still in my bed,
Said I’m almost there, I ain’t even dressed,
Told my girl “five minutes,” five minutes became ten,
Then another fifteen—
I needed the bathroom again.
On God.
I got twenty dollars, swear I ain’t broke,
Got a little bit of gas and a little bit of hope,
Got a dream in my chest and some change in my coat,
Got a text from my mama—
I don’t know what she wrote.
On God.
I seen a UFO, it was shaped like a shoe,
Might’ve been a drone, but I’m telling you it’s true,
I don’t know what it was, but it flew right through,
And if aliens got Wi-Fi—
I’m connecting too.
On God.
I never lie.
Except when I say “I never lie.”
On God.
⸻
[PRE-HOOK — building, melodic]
And I swear…
Every word that leaves my mouth
Could be the truth or something wild…
But if I say it with my chest…
You better know I—
⸻
[HOOK — MELODIC / GOSPEL / ORCHESTRAL]
ON GOOOOOD…
I swear I’m telling you the truth,
Even when it sounds impossible…
ON GOOOOOD…
Every word and every move,
Put my whole damn soul on it…
If I said it, then I meant it,
If I meant it, then I lived it…
Raise your hands up to the ceiling—
ON GOOOOOOOOOD.
Choir:
ON GOD… ON GOD…
Lead vocal:
I put my heart behind these words—
ON GOD.
⸻
[VERSE 2 — RAP]
I said I got bars, yeah, the hardest alive,
I wrote sixteen verses while I waited in line,
Then I forgot every word by the time I arrived,
But I still remember one—
“I’m hungry.”
On God.
I could bench press a Buick,
If the Buick wasn’t heavy,
If the Buick had no engine,
If the Buick wasn’t ready—
Matter fact, scratch that,
I ain’t lifting that Chevy.
On God.
I got angels on my shoulder, demons in my phone,
Got twelve missed calls and I’m still sitting home,
Said I’m going outside—
Then I changed my tone.
‘Cause it’s raining.
And I don’t like rain.
On God.
I once ran three miles
Without stopping one time.
Technically it was three miles
Over the course of my life.
But still—
On God.
⸻
[BRIDGE — stripped down, almost spoken prayer]
Lord…
You know my heart.
You know my intentions.
You know when I’m telling the truth…
And you know when I’m—
Wait.
Hold on.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
On God.
Choir whispers:
On God…
