Mob Rule - Jesus Walks Pt. II [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Guess race is now a status
They startin’ at the bottom
All the lines ’bout cash and cars
Don’t really mean they got ’em
Tryin’ to make a name for me
But they already got one
You think just ’cause they heard of rap
They tryin’ to be top gun?
Hold up, yo, I can’t breathe
I’m chokin’ on my words
The KKK ain’t back in style
I think maybe you misheard
Dodge bullets, the new M.O
Hands up, don’t shoot, I repeat
The color purple lines our streets
We needin’ Jesus on the beat

[Verse 2:]
Just want you to protect and serve
Ain’t that in your job description?
Shoot first, ask questions later
Jury’s out, no conviction
Igloo’s getting melted
From the flame that’s being thrown
Walk a mile in these shoes, ha?
Try four ’n’ a half hours prone
How about the black man’s burden
Sure ain’t gettin’ lighter
They desperate, can we have our change?
’Cause the noose, it gettin’ tighter
Pop pop pop pop pop pop
Windows down, who next?
Do we need a Jesus
Or do we need a Malcolm X?

[Verse 3:]
I pray that Jesus the carpenter
Will give peace to Garner
And that one day a hoodie
Ain’t gonna make you a martyr
Let ’em be in that number
Already done the marchin’
Their feet are gettin’ so weary
They need to pass through them arches
This ain’t white hatin’ time
It’s time for the truth
Cut out all this racism
Like it’s a bad tooth
The youth they ride the new wave
The zeitgeist what they outrun
I believe in America
But I just believe in one
