If what we sayinâ is true, then it changes everything.
[Chorus:]
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute, thatâs why I hold on to mine
Godâs plan is to make from our nations one pride[?]
Listen, can we talk religion
And world views for a minute?
(We just talkinâ)
They say the White man Jesus
(Hoodwinked)
Got the Black man deceived
(Bamboozled)
I can hear âem now in the prisons
(Run amuck)
All the Five Percenters sayinâ what we believe
(Yâall know)
Black Jews, Hebrew, Israelites, and the Moors
(Our nationalities)
All got solutions for these animals
(Thatâs what they tellinâ me)
To free us from our lower selves
(The yin and yang)
They say we need to know ourselves
(Your heritage)
They didnât teach us how to in-terstand
(Not in school)
How to outta-stand and how to over-stand
(We use they books)
They only taught us how to understand
(Thatâs all they taught us)
Ever since they took us from the Motherland
[Chorus]
I get it - Jesus didnât have blue eyes
Blonde hair, but sheep wool. Skin, bronze
(Like mine)
You say, âThatâs what the text say.â
I say, âOh, we usinâ the Bible?â
(Oh, okay!)
Well, let me show you what the text say
Checkmate - context is so vital
Youâre making reference to Revelation in Chapter 1
Verses 14 and following. The Apostle John
Gave a description of his vision of Jesus, the Son
Them characteristics represented judgment to come
And other things
But, it wasnât describing his race
(At all)
In that case, He literally has fire in His face
So, we cannot isolate verses and makinâ âem say
What we want.
Warnings of that are on the last page
In that same book
[Chorus]
Jesus is the culmination
(The fulfillment)
Of all the Old Testament pages
(All the imagery)
The last Adam and the Son of David
(The reigning Kings)
The suffering servant and the light to the nations
(The final Priest)
Who perfectly overcame all of His temptations
(Faithful remnants[?])
The first born from the dead and fruit of the New Creation
(The ultimate prophet)
I hear that you live by the law
(You are?)
Just know when youâre droppinâ the ball
(You gonâ sin)
The Yahweh is not lettinâ you off
(Youâre sin-natured)
âCause if you break one, then youâve broken âem all
(Thatâs His standard)
And, all your sacrifices will never suffice
(Never!)
âCause Yahweh only accepts perfection in life
(Thatâs it!)
So, by this standard, Jesus is the true Israel
And, the people of Yahweh are united to Christ
(Grace!...)
[Chorus]
You need to have friendships and relationships with people who disagree with you [x2]
