They call me white devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, hell freezes
Ego's trippin', scripts keep flippin'
Bloods keep bloodin', Crips keep crippin'

Time keeps slippin', and I keep fallin'
I can't see but I hear them callin'
Ballers ballin', Players playin',
Haters fightin', righteous prayin'

Dawn breakin', Manhattan keeps makin'
Brooklyn keeps takin', shook ones keep shakin'
No time for fakin', nah mean I ain't choppin' no pies
Just risin' like cream

If you're digging the scene
If you feelin' the vibes
Throw your hands in the air
Scream out you're alive

Singin' na na nana na na...

They call me black Jesus, white Moses
Heaven freezes, hell closes
B.Boy poses, and punk rock chicks
The kids are all right but I need my fix

If you're diggin' the mix, you're feelin' the drugs
If you're keepin' it real, if you're livin' like thugs
I spit kisses and hugs like 45 slugs
Come back on the one and kiss my love gun

Gotta look that will kill, a voice that will carry
Half a dozen women that I think I wanna marry
The trouble on my mind I'm refusin' to lose
Still I've gotta find someone to abuse

So won't you run spread the news
Help say the word
And jump the fuck back
And just act like you heard

They call me white devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Black Jesus, white Moses
Heaven freezes, Hell closes

Singin' na na nana na na...

They call me white sinner, black martyr
Live wire, fire starter
Jungle brother, red neck cracker
Freak of nature, new world slacker

Sex junkie lookin' for a dealer
You can play the leaper girl and I can play the healer
Shit is only getting realer baby haven't you heard
That the Bird, bird, bird, yes the bird is the word

They go one for the trouble
Two for the time, three for my homies
And four for the dimes
Singin' lemons to the lime till the break of dawn

Excuse me every six minutes, Everlast you're on
And they go on and on
Like a rolling stone, baby
Anywhere I lay my hat is my home

They call me white devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Black Jesus, White Moses
Heaven freezes, Hell closes

Singin' na na nana na na...

So's this the same outfit that manufactures boxing equipment? Maybe they should've stuck to something they knew how to do. Music is supposed to be pleasing to the ears.

I guarantee if the Dude were here, he would not be abiding Everlast and unlike most here I am a Hip-Hop fan. Seriously I have always thought this guy sucks even though Jump is a classic no doubt.  I bet most of yall didn't even know he started with House of Pain back in the day.

May not be my thing ( Everlast is ok actually ) but more importantly , just to hear RP branch out is worth it..IMO

it's been awhile since this was last played.
Physicsgenius was still around....that's how long it's been.

Put the pipe down, PhysicsGenius. There's nothing even remotely racist in the lyrics. Did you even listen to the song?

Of all the stuff I\'ve heard by these guys, this is the song I like most, and I give it a 3. Posturing chuckleheads.

For some reason, 'Run Paint Run Run' (Doc at the Radar Station) is the first title that comes to mind, thinking 'bout Captain Beefheart. A band I once played in was named after an album he once made; Shiny Beast.

what a great song...but why the edited version?!?!
Posted 21 years ago by BagelBoy    [ Reply ]
Nice song to mix it up a bit. I hear very little of this guy, but I have heard some pretty good stuff from him.

Makes me long to hear Captain Beeftheart, on RP. I\'m sure the singer of this band will love him too.
