Dee-1
No Pictures of Jesus
[Intro: Dee-1]
Follow Jesus for his character, dawg...
(They nailed his feet)
I don't care, bro
(Then, they nailed his hands)
I don't care what color He is
(Just to prove)
I care who He is
(He was a man)
Look
[Verse 1: Dee-1]
I don't care if Jesus is white or if He's black
All I know is: Jesus is real and He's coming back
Color's just a tactic that people use to distract
But the Bible said "Don't argue with fools", so I don't react
Grew up in Catholic church, taking communion with a smile
Been seeing pictures of white Jesus ever since I was a child
But then, my Catholic priest got caught touching all over little guys
That messed me up when it happened, I was heartbroken inside
Momma went to the Baptist church on the other side of street
I remember people catching a Holy Ghost, falling off their feet
They told me "Jesus was black", the pastor said "That's a fact"
Then, the same pastor got fired for stealing money: that's wack
I realized, everyone is crooked, everybody lies
When people think they're gods, they're devils in disguise
Peace and love to all my sisters and brothers, remember
Follow Jesus for his character, not for his color
[Interlude: Murs]
(They nailed his feet)
This, this is supposed to be the content, right?
(Then, they nailed his hands)
It's the word of God
(Just to prove)
Not the look of God
(He was a man)
Let's go
[Verse 2: Murs]
Everybody chasing follows, that's the new addiction
But won't follow the survivor of the crucifixion
Pictures of Jesus just distract us from the fact
The message is the same, whether white or He's black
That's why our brethren of the faith Islamic
Don't allow pictures of the prophet Muhammad
Peace be upon He, peace be upon we
How long will it take for all of us to see?
It's all about what's inside of the package
It's everlasting, I don't care how you wrap it
A gift's a gift, his name uplifts
Make your worries disappear soon as it leaves your lips
Do not fear death, be not fret
What's the promise made by the being that gave you breath?
So, what's left to fear?
You ain't gotta go to Heaven, but you can't stay here
[Interlude]
They nailed his feet
Then they nailed his hands
Just to prove
He was a man
[Chorus: Dee-1 & Murs]
