Lyrics

Searchin' for Black Jesuz Oh, yeah (Black Jesuz), sportin' jewels and shit, youknowImean? (You can be Christian) Straight tatted up (practiced Jehovah witness) No doubt (Black Jesuz) (Islamic), no doubt (you mad at me?) (I'm a thug), blaze that (we believed in you) (Thugs, we praise Black Jesuz) (everything you do), (all day) (Just wanna let you know how we feel), Young Kadafi in this bitch, set it off, nigga What? (Black Jesuz) I do my shootings on a knob, prayin' to God for my squad Stuck in a nightmare, hopin' he might care, though times is hard Up against all odds, I play my cards like I'm jailin' Shots hittin' up my spot like midnight rains hailin' Got me bailin' to stash more green Gods They ain't tryin' to be trapped on bo block slangin' no rocks like bean pies Brainstorm on the beginnin', wonder how shit like the Qu'ran and the Bible was written What is religion? God's words or a curse like crack? Shai-tan's way of gettin' us back or just another one of my Black Jesuz' traps Who's got the heart to stand beside me? I feel my enemies creepin' up in silence Dark prayer, scream violence, demons all around me Can't even bend my knees, just a lost cloud, Black Jesuz Give me a reason to survive in this earthly hell 'Cause I swear, they tryin' to break my will (Black Jesuz) I'm on the edge lookin' down at this bottomless pit Will it matter if I cease to exist? Black Jesuz All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail (Black Jesuz) Submissive souls turn to hoes when exposed to jail In times of war we need somebody raw, rally the troops Like a saint that we can trust to help to carry us through (Black Jesuz) Black Jesuz He's like a saint that we can trust to help to carry us through Black Jesuz Outlawz, we got our own race, culture, religion Rebellin' against the system, commence to lynchin' The president ain't even listenin' to the pain of the youth We make music for eternity, forever the truth Political prisoner, the two choices that they givin' us Ride or die, for life they sentence us (Black Jesuz) Oh, Black Jesuz, please watch over my brother Shawn Soon as the sky get bright, it's just another storm Brothers gone, now labeled a statistic Ain't no love for us ghetto kids, they call us nigglets History repeats itself, nuttin' new In school, I knew e'rything I read wasn't true, Black Jesuz To this clique I'm dedicated, criminal orientated An Outlaw initiated, blazed and faded Made for terror, major league niggas pray together Bitches in they grave while my real niggas play together We die clutchin' glasses, filled with liquor bomblastic Cremated, last wishes niggas smoke my ashes High sigh why die wishin', hopin' for possibilities I'll mob on, while they copy me sloppily Cops patrol projects, hatin' the people livin' in them I was born an inmate, waitin' to escape the prison Went to church but don't understand it, they underhanded God gave me these commandments, the world is scandalous Blast 'til they holy high, baptize they evil minds Wise, no longer blinded, watch me shine trick Which one of y'all wanna feel the degrees? Bitches freeze facin' Black Jesuz (Black Jesuz) All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail Submissive souls turn to hoes when exposed to jail In times of war we need somebody raw, rally the troops Like a saint that we can trust to help to carry us through (Black Jesuz) Black Jesuz Some say, some day, some how, some way, we gon' fail And it ain't hard to tell, we dwell in hell Trapped, black, scarred and barred Searchin' for truth, where it's hard to find God I play the Pied Piper and to this Thug Life, I'm a lifer Proceed to turn up the speed just for stripes My Black Jesuz walk through this valley with me Where we so used to hard times and casualties Indeed, it hurt me deep to have to sleep on the streets And haven't eaten in weeks, so save a prayer for me And all the young thugs raised on drugs and guns Blazed out and numb, slaves to this slums, this ain't livin' We believed in you (Jesuz) Everything you do Just wanna let you know how we feel (Searchin' for Black Jesuz), Black Jesuz We believed in you (it's hard, it's hard) Everything you do (we need help out here) Just wanna let you know how we feel (so we searchin' for Black Jesuz) (It's like a Saint), Black Jesuz (that we pray to in the ghetto, to get us through) We believed in you (somebody that understand our pain) Everything you do (you know maybe not too perfect, you know) Just wanna let you know how we feel (somebody that hurt like we hurt) (Somebody that smoke like we smoke), Black Jesuz (drink like we drink) That understand where we comin' from That's who we pray to We need help y'all
