If I want to be a god, dont bring me down\r
Only thing on my mind is to Run This Town\r
Pilot this ship, the next black president\r
Ruler of the universe, king of the continents\r
Be the god of the sea, you could call me Poseidon\r
Whos that? Oh me, recognize the trident\r
and Id strike the ground, and Id shake the earth\r
Rename Athens, thats what I deserve\r
And if you failed to show me that you respect me,\r
I wouldnt be me, youd die on the sea\r
Id give you ten to life, make you wander forever\r
auction off your wife, nothing lasts forever\r
And youd scream like\r
And youd be like\r
And shed be like\r
and Id be like\r
Oh well, or maybe just maybe Id choose to fly\r
call me Hermes watch my shoes take flight\r
Faster than light like MercurI\r
Quicker than Jordan back in 85\r
And Id deliver this message to all the girls I knew\r
Come Fly With Me, you can be my boo\r
We can travel the world and head to Spain\r
Id be Superman to your Lois Lane\r
\r
I could be Eros, shoot them with my arrows\r
No HIV, I keep them sterile\r
Gold for love, iron hate\r
Ill be the one to decide your fate\r
or god of the dead, would you think Im Satan\r
Well thats not true, I could use your amen\r
Show you golden fields known as Elysium\r
Thatd be what you got for a heroes welcome\r
If I was a god, I would date a goddess\r
Even sport ones like Artemis\r
Shes hard to miss, and for a little kiss\r
Id risk moon arrows, she can hardly miss\r
And if she hits, at least I got a kiss\r
Thats why shes known as the virgin goddess\r
Or what about Athena, shes a hot little nerd\r
I need a strategy, thats what I heard\r
With her golden helmet she likes it rough\r
Her dad told me shes pretty damn tough\r
Just ask Arachne who tried to fight her\r
She transformed into a spider\r
Or Id date Aphrodite if she came my way\r
Id be like, \r
But shes a cheater, I already know \r
shed break my heart like,\r
Id even Demeter, I would love to meet her\r
Save me some money, wouldnt need to feed her\r
Yeah so what shes a single mom\r
If I was a god it wouldnt be a problem\r
Look at Hestia, I would wife her\r
Shed always be at home a desperate housewifer\r
I got time for every goddess on the planet\r
I guarantee Id be the last god standing\r
\r
If I had it all, Id give you the world\r
Id be your god, youd be my girl\r
Id protect you and steal your love\r
Two souls, one heart up up above\r
We could sit on Mt. Olympus, maybe even sneak a kiss\r
Drink nectar, I know youd love this\r
Watch all the people down down below\r
Feel what its like to be immortal\r
Sit on golden thrones made by the best\r
See the lame smith, what up, Hephaestus\r
See the sun go by, toast Apollo\r
Tell Dionysus we need wine to go\r
And away wed go over all of Greece\r
If you get cold, heres a golden fleece\r
Wed go to Crete, sail the Aegean Sea\r
See the Minotaur and visit Thebes\r
You would see my abs and think 300\r
More powerful than Heras husband\r
Id be the king of the kings, the god of gods\r
But Id never cheat, youre the one I love\r
So lets take a dip in the river Styx\r
We could last forever in godly bliss\r
Feel what its like to never grow old\r
Wed be like children, invincible\r
And down the road people would know\r
That we were gods who shared one soul\r
I would move mountains if I could for you\r
Strike down Titans if I needed to\r
You and me together we could do anything\r
If I were the king of the gods, youd be my queen\r
Theres nothing we couldnt do, for you Id sing\r
You and me, baby, we could do anything\r
