[Intro: 2Pac, Kadafi, Val Young] Searchin' for Black Jesus Oh yeah, sportin' jewels and shit, yaknahmean? (You can be Christian) Straight tatted up (Baptist, Jehovah Witness) No doubt (Islamic) No doubt (Doesn't matter to me, I'm a thug) (Thugs, we praise Black Jesus, all day) Young Kadafi in this bitch, set it off, nigga We believed in you For everything you do Just wanna let you know how we feel Black Jesus [Verse 1: Kadafi] I do my shootings 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 hittin' up my spot like midnight rains hailin' Got me bailin' to stash more green guys Ain't tryin' to be trapped on no block Slangin' them rocks like bean pies Brainstorm on the beginnin' Wonder how shit like the Qu'ran and the Bible was written What is religion? God's words or a curse like crack? Shai-tan's way of gettin' us back Or just another one of my Black Jesus' traps [Verse 2: Storm] Who's got the heart to stand beside me? I feel my enemies creepin' up in silence Dark prayers, 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 'Cause I swear, 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 [Chorus: 2Pac] All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail Submissive 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, hahahaha He's like a saint that we can trust to help to carry us through Black Jesus [Verse 3: Hussein Fatal] Stick-ups, rob past niggas with trigger hiccups Bodybag you punk pickups when these niggas go put they shit up Nine-and-a-half out of ten, shorty be twistin' they wrists in cuffs And for hustlin', go ride on the block with cop Glocks bustin' They thinkin' that it's funny to kill for real Plus gettin' twenty 20 bills, twenty minutes makin' money still Patrollers be rollin' tryna hold us and haunt us All swooped up and on us, 'cause we groupin' up on corners My Black easy Jesus, please somebody feed us I'm shootin', startin' a revolution with my kids My cell block, whatever, held rock but never Too close to the sword, he got jail dropped forever, Black Jesus [Verse 4: 2Pac] To this clique I'm dedicated, criminal orientated An Outlaw initiated, blazed and faded Made for terror, major league niggas pray together Bitches in they grave while my real niggas play together We die clutchin' glasses, filled with liquor bomblastic Cremated, last wish is niggas smoke my ashes High sigh why die wishin', hopin' for possibilities I'll mob on, while they copy me sloppily Cops patrol projects, hate 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 'til 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 facin' Black Jesus [Chorus: 2Pac] All hail, the pressure no endeavor can fail Submissive 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 [Verse 5: Kastro] Some say, one day Some day, some how Some way we gon' fail Either six ditches or twelve Just stick us and leave us in jail Oh well, I bail, blazed out drunk as hell Waitin' to fade, 'cause Black Jesus see Just how this world treat His seeds, His young Beat us 'til we dumb for fun, why run When the outcome don’t do me justice in the long run So I say, "Fuck this whole world, bitch," breathless Time is tickin', our minds clickin', 'til we blackout Goin' all out, overboard route for clout And Black Jesus come and save our seeds 'cause we need you All play by the same to see us, Black Jesus [Outro: Val Young]​ We believed in you For everything you do Just wanna let you know how we feel Black Jesus We believed in you For everything you do Just wanna let you know what you mean Black Jesus We believed in you For everything that you do Just wanna let you know how we feel Black Jesus
