Jesus Saves

Lyrics

[Intro] "Hey, man, you got a quarter You ain't got nothing, that's ok man, it's ok, God bless you anyway Hey, I hope I didn't scare you, nothing like that I ain't no bomber or nothing I used to live up town ones before two you know No, no I did really I did I used to come down here and look Look at all the characters Never thought I'd be one of them though Characters men, a lot of characters Hey you got a minute, got a minute Let me tell a story about this friend of mine DT Jesus It use to stand for down town Jesus We use to sell drugs and stuff down here And niggas use to come spot We use to call him D-tox He was one character One character that made it out of here Let me tell you about him" [Verse 1] Jesus was a talker out of place New Yorker Hung out on the boulevard He was sellin' nickel candies, he was saving all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playing' bars, the kids came in their cars You'd hear them shouting at the stage [Chorus] Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves [Verse 2] Jesus started changin', things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere Started missing shows, the band came down to blows But Jesus He no longer cared Things got out of hand and so he quit the band But still the critics they would rave, what? [Chorus] Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] So the dice were cast, today became the past And Jesus He just disappeared Headed for New York, or so his label thought And there he gave away the years Last seen drinking wine, beneath a flashing sign Promising salvation to strays, what? [Chorus] Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves [Outro] Heard Him cut through the night on your late night radio waves Jesus saves Yes it does Jesus saves
