Ave Campbell - Black Jesus [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Yea
You know a wise man once said
“Revolution is not an event, revolution is a process”
Let us proceed

[Verse 1]
We ain't heed the warnings about hedonism
We preaching for some nihilism
My people always caught up in some tragic shit
Make you ask what happened to all the activists
Niggas all talking no lacing up for the marching, let's try doing some active shit
They ain't nothin’ like Malcolm or even Martin
Suiting up for the cameras, at least you looking sharp then
Its bigger business they building prisons and selling coffins
Selling dreams, don't play the auction or egos augment
You start flipping they start to flicking, guess we some dolphins
Feeling sure then you play the shore once you see the shark fin
Wading in the waters
Like America would really give a fuck about our daughters
Uncle Sam ain't never care for the fruit, let alone all the seeds
The apples don't fall far from the noose, still hanging on the trees
And money is at the root which is why they stopped curing disease
It's more profit in a treatment, Church asking for tithes, couple robbers playing deacon
What does God need money for? Now why y’all lookin at me funny for?

[Hook]
American history is a lie, since they altered the facts
It's easy to be ahead,if u tamper with stats
I was a King before a slave but the books wasn't teaching me that
How could I ever hate my skin, nigga? Even Jesus was black
(Got a God complex with a God complexion)
Even Jesus was black, Riddle me that
How could I ever hate my skin, nigga?
(Got a God complex with a God complexion)
Even Jesus was black


[Bridge]
One black boy went to college
The other black boy stayed home
Both got murdered by the police
Both of those cops went home
America still promoting freedom
At the same time they’re tapping our phones
Uncle Sam still on that bullshit
I hope he catch five to the dome

[Hook]
American history is a lie, since they altered the facts
It's easy to be ahead,if u tamper with stats
I was a King before a slave but the books wasn't teaching me that
How could I ever hate my skin, nigga? Even Jesus was black
(Got a God complex with a God complexion)
Even Jesus was black, Riddle me that
How could I ever hate my skin, nigga?
(Got a God complex with a God complexion)
Even Jesus was black
