2Pac & Outlawz - Black Jesuz Lyrics

{Searching for Black Jesus Oh yea
Sportin' jewels and shit, yaknahmean?
Black Jesus, you can be Christian straight
Tatted up no doubt, no doubt baptist
Jehovah witness Islamic, won't matter to me
I'm a thug, thugs we praise black Jesus, all day
Young Kadafi in this bitch, set it off nigga what?}

I do my shootin's 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 hitting up my spot like midnight rains hailin'
Got me bailin' to stacks more green
Gods ain't tryin' to be trapped on no block slangin'
No rocks like bean pies brainstorm on the beginnin'

Wonder how shit like the Quran and the Bible was written
What is religion? God's words all cursed like crack
Or just another one of my black Jesus traps
Shaitan's way of gettin' us back
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 Jesus give me a reason to survive
In this earthly hell 'cos thats where
They tryin' to break my well
I'm on the edge
Lookin' down at this bottomless pit
Will it matter if I cease to exist?
Black Jesus

All hail, the pressure no endeavor can
Fail some missin' 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 Jesus
He's like a saint that we can trust
To help to carry us through black Jesus

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 oh black Jesus

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
Nuthin' new in school I knew evrything I read wasn't true
Click I'm dedicated criminal orientated an outlaw initiated
Blazed and faded to this made for terror
Major league niggaz pray together
Bitches in they grave while my real niggaz play together
We die clutchin' glasses, filled with liquor bomblastic creamated

Last wishes nigga smoke my ashes high sigh why die wishin'
Hopin' for possibilities I'll mob on, why 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 till 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 facing black Jesus

All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail
Some missin' 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 Jesus
Some say, some day, some how, some way, we gonna fail
And it ain't hard to tell, we dwell in hell trapped
Black, scarred and barred searching 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 Jesus, walk through this valley with me
Where we so used to hard times and casualties indeed
And it hurts me deep to have to sleep on the streets
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 living, Jesus

We believed in you
Everything you do
Just wanna let you know
How we feel black Jesus?
Searching for black Jesus

It's hard, it's hard we need help out here so we
Search for black Jesus it's like a saint, that we pray to
In the ghetto to get us through somebody
That understand our pain you know maybe not too perfect
Somebody that hurt like we hurt somebody that smoke
Like we smoke drink like we drink
To understand where we coming from
That's who we pray to we need help you all
