Fear of a Black Jesus
by Secret Archives of the Vatican

 

 

TV evangelism, drug of a nation
Breeding cynicism, rejection, damnation
Crucifying Christ on an altar of mammon
Building a kingdom but not one of heaven
Now Jesus and mammon - kosher gammon!
Plastic food served up in the middle of a famine
See the truth is out there but it's not where they tell you
It ain't the promised land they're trying to sell you
'cause we been given only half of the story
tame religion not the power & the glory
Our Renegade masters say they're gonna feed us
But they're living in fear of a black Jesus

Blue eyed blond haired, white & floatin'
Made in the image of those for who they're votin'
They try to hide his middle-eastern complexion
So you and me won't make the connection
Change our lives and start the rejection
Of their Babylon values as we make an objection
This is the prophetic underground
From the streets people makin' a new sound
Say it loud I'm saved and I'm proud
(in the right way ) of the things that I've found
that Jesus the Christ was both God and man
an Israeli Palestinian
Executed by the occupation army
To satisfy the religious pharisee
Scared of him then, they are scared of him now
Military solution put him in the ground
Third day intifada made the prophecies true

George may be be the father
But Dubya ain't the Son
There ain't nothing holy 'bout the spirit of the gun
Taking in vain the name of the One
Naming the One but they are using the gun
Who would Jesus bomb? in the Father's name
Don't take the name of the lord your God in vain
Judgement's coming, hang your heads in shame

Building your empires on false information
Pyramid scheme deceiving the nations
You don't get truth in a voting booth
You're better off growing a wisdom tooth

Oriental, Caucasian, Black, Brown or Asian,
Iran, Isle of Man, New York, Afghanistan
Yes, even in Mecca, or downtown Albuquerque,
Libya, Nicaragua, or even in Turkey
Search and you will find him where you least expect him

Don't Reject him
You must Respect him

There with the 'fugees in a New Labour camp,
And asylum seekers in a heartless land
We don't see him in their hopeless eyes
They're the people we love to despise

He said the least of these mi bredren is me
You treat them wrong because you just don't see
You've been deceived you've believed the lie
Just don't, don't, don't believe the hype
Secret Archives gonna set you right
He wasn't American, He wasn't even white
Sometimes I wonder if He sees us
Living in fear of a black Jesus

I swear to tell the truth
to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
I swear to tell the truth
to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
I swear to tell the truth
to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
 

So help me God.
