Jesus Looks Like Me

[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
