"Black Jesus" lyrics

"Black Jesus"

Come on Black Jesus, come on Black Jesus
Come on Black Jesus, come on Black Jesus
Come on Black Jesus, come on Black Jesus
Come on Black Jesus, come on Black Jesus

Sometimes I talk to my parents
They say they don't think they know me anymore
But when I talk to my brothers
They say "man, how you doing?"
And I sit with my granddad
He says "Hey J, can you light this one up for me?"
Then I sit by myself and that's when I start to see it all

Well I saw my messiah on a mountain top looking down at the people below
He said "hey y'all don't you get caught up in the things that come and go"
We said "Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus, c'mon!"

I found out on my birthday
My boss he's closing the place down
But I'ma be alright you know, I'll find something else

Well I saw my messiah on a mountain top looking down at the people below
He said "hey y'all don't you get caught up in the things that come and go"
We said "Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus, c'mon!"

Well I saw my messiah on a mountain top looking down at the people below
He said "hey y'all don't you get caught up in the things that come and go"
We said "Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus!
Come on Black Jesus, c'mon!"
