A Child Of God (It’s Hard To Believe)

[Verse 1]
Some folks say we're all God's children
And maybe we are, I don't know
But sometimes, I find that rather hard to believe
And living in a ghetto like I do
You'll find a little of everything going on
All of that fussing and fighting and whatnot
While I'm trying to get my rest
Really makes it hard for me to believe
But right now I would just like to
Tell you about some of the people you might find in my neighborhood

[Verse 2]
I know a man who curses his brother
I know a man who thinks of no other
Always chasing after money
Thinks a poor man is funny, it's hard
Wow, it's hard to believe hе's a child of God
Oh, yeah

[Verse 3]
I know a woman who steals from her mothеr
And that same woman, she gets drunk one day to another
She kicks her kids out in the streets
Puts another man under their father's sheets and I find it hard
Wow, it's hard to believe she's a child of God
Oh, yeah

[Verse 4]
I know some people who go to church on Sunday
And these the same people who wear a sheet on Monday
They talk about justice and being free
But they're watching lynchings so easily, yes, it's hard
Hey, it's hard to believe they're children of God
Oh, yeah
I find it hard to believe right now
Oh, yeah
I find it hard to believe right now
That these people call themselves children of God
Wow, it's so hard to believe right now
That these people have the nerve to call themselves children of God
