[Intro: Khalid Abdul Muhammad,] [Fred Hampton]
When Jesus, when I say Jesus, I’m not talking about some blonde-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, buttermilk complexion cracker Christ
I’m talking about the Jesus of the Bible, with hair like lamb’s wool
I'm talking about that good hair
I'm talking about that nappy hair
That his body would be like beryl
Another scripture said his body would be like jasper
Another scripture said his body would be like fine brass, as though it had been burned in an oven
Jesus: the Lord, the Savior, the Master, the Redeemer
Jesus, the Black revolutionary Messiah
Taken up on the hill, up on the mountain by Satan, by the Devil
And the Devil talked about a New World Order
The Devil talked about giving Jesus all of this world out there, if Jesus would just seek an alliance with him
If he would just bow down to him
And I say to you here tonight, Devil: get thee behind me, Satan get thee behind me, Satan
Black people need some peace, white people need some peace
And we are going to have to fight, we're going to have to struggle
We're going to have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace because the people that we're asking for peace
They're a bunch of megalomaniac war-mongers
And they don't even understand what peace means
We've got to fight them
We've got to struggle with them to make them understand what peace means
[Verse 1]
I can't believe I can't get over my fear, oh-oh
They're gonna send me over the hill
Ah, the moment of truth is near, oh
They're gonna send me over the hill, oh no
