If Jesus was black
If Jesus was black
Let me die black
In what I believe in
Not what they want me to believe in
If Jesus was black
Let me die black
On the street to Golgotha
Where I shall find peace on His alter
If Jesus was black
Let me die black
on the verge of disillusionments
That always ends up in torments
If Jesus was black
Let me die black
With my brothers around
Looking to hear from the gun sound
If Jesus was black
Let me die black
Not as white as snow
For it is not the seed they sow
If Jesus was black
Let us all die black
Till we meet again
Where pain shall not rule to forever gain
If Jesus was black
Let us all die black
And forever be remembered
For living a life of sadness
If Jesus was black
I would stand black
And shine my melanin so white
Till I hear my name at last, there
If Jesus was black
Let me still be black
But if He was white
Let the world judge the dead for their demise
