Black Messiah (single remix)
guitar chords lyrics
Everybody got the right to speak their mind
So don't shoot me for saying mine
Everybody talking about racial equality
'Cos everybody's equal in the good Lord's eyes
But if I told you that God was black
What would you think of that? I bet you wouldn't believe it
There's a self made Prophet living right next to me
He said the black Messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free
He looked at me with his evil eye and he prophesied
And he really believed it
He said a black Messiah
Is gonna set the world on fire
And he no liar,
'Cause he has truly heard the word
Everybody talk about racial equality
And he no liar,
'Cause he has truly heard the word
Everybody talk about racial equality
But I'm the only honky living on an all black street
They knock me down 'cos they brown and I white
Like you wouldn't believe it
They say a black Messiah
Is gonna set the world on fire
A black Messiah
Is gonna come and rule the world
Everybody talk about racial equality
Everybody talk about equal rights
But white's white, black's black
And that's that
Everybody got the right to speak their mind
So don't shoot me for saying mine
Everybody talking about racial equality
You hear everybody talking about equal rights
But white's white, black's black
And that's that
And that's the way you should leave it
Don't want no black Messiah
To come and set the world on fire
A black Messiah
Is gonna come and rule the world
