Black Jesus
By: Everlast Produced By: Dante Ross and John Gamble
I’m not sure if this is exact, but it sounds damn good and it’s a hella fun to
play. I’m sure the lyrics are right. The intro is in the same chord progression
as the rest of the song (G, Bb, A, F), only the chords are picked not strummed.
me if you want me to tab it) The first couple of seconds of the song are just
Everlast singing with an acoustic. Then the beats and an electric guitar bust
in. If you’re tryin to sing like him, keep a glass of water handy cuz it’s hard
on the vocal chords. Have Fun.
They call me white devil, Black Jesus,
Heaven closes, Hell freezes,
Egos trippin',
Scripts keep flippin'
Bloods keep bloodin',
Crypts keep crippin'
Time keeps slippin'
And I keep fallin'
I can't see but I hear them callin',
Ballers ballin'
Players playin',
Haters fightin',
Righteous prayin'
Dawn breaking,
Manhattan keeps making,
Brooklyn keeps takin'
Shook ones keep shakin',
No time for fakin'
Know what I mean ain't choppin' no pies,
Just risin' like cream
If you're digging the scene,
If you feelin' the vibes,
Throw your hands in the air,
Scream out you're alive,
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
(Repeat)
They call me Black Jesus, White Moses,
Heaven freezes, hell closes
B.Boy poses and punk rock chicks,
The kids are all right but I need my fix
If you're diggin' the mix,
If you're feelin' the drugs
If you're keepin' it real
If you're livin' like thugs,
I spit kisses and hugs like .45 slugs
Come back on the one and kiss my love gun
Gotta look that will kill,
A voice that will carry,
Half a dozen women I think I wanna marry,
Trouble on my mind, refusin' to lose
Still I've gotta find someone to abuse
So won't you run spread the news
Help say the word
(no guitar, just count the beats)
And jump the fuck back and act like you heard
CHORUS
They call me white devil, Black Jesus, heaven closes
Hell freezes, Black Jesus, White Moses, heaven freezes
Hell closes, singin' na na nana na na
singin' na na nana na na
*That’s the basic idea, the rest is pretty much the same*
They call me white sinner,
Black martyr,
Live wire
Fire starter,
Jungle brother,
Red neck cracker,
Freak of nature
New world slacker,
Sex junkie lookin' for a dealer
You can play the leaper girl and I can play the healer
Shit is only getting realer baby haven't you heard that the
Bird, bird, bird, yes the bird is the word
They go one for the trouble,
Two for the time,
Three for my homies
And four for the dimes,
Singin' lemons to the lime
Till the break of dawn
Excuse me (every six minutes)
Everlast you're on,
And they go on and on
Like a rolling stone,
Baby anywhere I lay my hat is my home
CHORUS
They call me white devil, Black Jesus,
Heaven closes, Hell freezes,
Black Jesus, White Moses,
Heaven freezes, Hell closes,
Singin' na na nana na na singing
(Repeat)
