Black Jesus - Rukus

Jesus wasn’t white — he was really brown skinned

Once I knew that — that’s when I found him

They’ll say they love you

They strung him up too

They want his blood — he was Black — he’s the Son…

Jesus wasn’t white — He was really brown-skinned —

If they knew, I wonder if they’d have crowned him

Traveled to lands to tell people they found him

Baptized the savior, or round the others and drown them

Eve was a black woman, mother of nations

Her DNA carries all gene variation

So black girl magic is scientifically accurate

The browner the skin, the more the immaculate

Maybe religion just controls our decisions

When ya oppressor kill ya, all you do is forgive’m

We read The Good Book wrong, left us disabled

See God tore up the earth, and Jesus was flipping tables

You show up at work, get pennies for all your labors

Then try to tithe away racism and bad behaviors

Can’t relate to a white god, or pray —

They still crucify black men today… what that say?

Jesus wasn’t white — he was really brown skinned

Once I knew that — that’s when I found him

They’ll say they love you

They strung him up too

They want his blood — he was Black — he’s the Son — he was…
