Jesus Looks Like Me

Lyrics

[Hook] Fair skin, long hair, blue eyes Please tell me who's this guy Caucasian Jesus, can't believe you tried to make him white Brown skin, curled hair, big nose That's probably how it goes So who's this guy I see? 'Cause I know Jesus looks like me Looks like me Looks like me Looks like me So who's this guy I see? 'Cause I know Jesus looks like me [Verse 1] He looks like He sounds like me He walks like me He talks like me He breathes like me He sees like me He sees I need to my preach my piece So who's this white guy on my screen and Who's this white guy they believe in Thought this man was Middle Eastern Why he look like he from Sweden? What's the meaning, took our freedom Now they even claiming Jesus Colonising my religion Tryna make me feel beneath 'em Think they want me praising false idols to finish me To bring down all my people and erase all of my history but ay [Hook] [Verse 2] White privilege White Christmas White lies White sinnings White Jesus in the pictures Got me feeling like my skin is Not enough for true depiction Whitewashing my religion All my life they tried to have my mind conditioned 'Cause they hating on my brown skin And they hate the ones I'm down with But the truth man I found it and you wanna clown it You're face to face with faith The man you praise up in your frames He never came, he never stayed I levitate with faith to think I look the same The Lord above he looks like us He looks like me my history but everywhere I see this [Hook] [Akmal Saleh - Monologue] In every picture of Jesus in our house, he looked like you He looked blonde and pretty And had big blue eyes, but he would've had a big nose probably and, you know, I'm sorry but he would've looked like me [Beat-Switch - Verse 3] Flexing all my blessings Forgive all my transgressions What if I told you Jesus looks like me? Think we share the same complexion, uh Flexing all my blessings Forgive all my transgressions But if I told you that we look the same, would I look insane, would you guess that I'm out my brain? Uh, brown skin, curled hair, big nose You know how that goes, imma let you know, imma take control Think we look the same Looks like me, who's this guy I see 'cause I know Jesus looks like me
