Born in a Jewish ghetto Subject to a military state From your first breath out the womb You were subject to a dark world of hate Tortured for the truth that you bore Oh Lord God, what an awful fate To murder and destroy your name Religious leaders of the time couldn’t wait Always runnin’ from the cops Death warrants on ya’ precious head Angry mobs always lookin’ for ya’ A government that wanted you dead Overcrowded county hospitals Delivered in a mangy building The sick authority of time Made you out to be the villain Crippled hand of sin against you Persecution of all thy brethren Though however righteous Subject to brutality and killin’ You were looked down by society Born out of wedlock Thorn and blood adorned thee Mighty dark crown of dreadlock A shepherd to the lost and lonely The black sheep of your own flock Indeed the stone that the builders rejected One day would become the corner rock You were despised for your whole life All your opportunities denied You were spat on and kicked They looked you in your eyes and they lied No jury of your peers, oh Lord You were convicted and you were tried Forced to carry that state cross While being tortured and crucified Executed on Calvary’s death row Where you were whipped, and you were tied And just for being who you are They wouldn’t stop until you died Your state subjugated body beaten Persecuted and brutally shamed Pierced for our transgressions, Lord The embodiment of hope slain Oh, thy mutilated scars you bore Deep wells of sorrow and pain The heartbreak of this fallen world That only you Lord overcame Please my sweet, Black Jesus Verily your death was not in vain Forgive them Father for they don’t know Your holy, precious name Oh, my dearly beloved Jesus They done hated you for an eternity But dearly beloved Jesus Surely you must be Black like me
