[Chorus: D. J. Rogers & Common]

Faithful to the end (Uh, we got to be)

Faithful to the end (Uh, I want to be)

Faithful to the end (Yes, it's for the people)

I'd like to be her very best friend

(God moves, yeah)

[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: D. J. Rogers]

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 Benet"

"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 tryin' to get my life together"

Went home to his lady, these were his confessions

"Baby, you a blessin' and my best friend"

[Chorus: D. J. Rogers, John Legend & Both]

Faithful to the end

Faithful to the end (Mm, 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, so

So faithful

So, 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
