Lyrics To Jim Colerick's Song

Decent Essays
[Verse 1: Jim Colerick]
Well I wrote this song for the Christian youth
I wanna teach kids the Christian truth
If you wanna reach those kids on the street
Then you gotta do a rap to a hip-hop beat
I gave my sermon an urban kick
My rhymes are fly, my beats are sick
My crew is big and it keeps getting bigger
That's cause Jesus Christ is my nigga

[Bridge: Jim Colerick]
Oooooooo

[Verse 2: Jim Colerick]
He's a life-changer, miracle-arranger
Born to the virgin mom in a manger
Water to wine, he's a drink exchanger
And he died for your sins
I preach the word, that's my gig
And I rhyme better than Notorious BIG
Other emcees, I wish them well
But if you live in sin, you burn in hell
Now I'ma pass the mic to my lovely wife
She's a fly emcee and the light of my life
…show more content…
[Verse 3: Mary Sue]
Jesus Christ is my nigga
He's the son of the original G
And he was sent to Earth to elucidate the way that we should be
(What?)
Like if another MC says
"You're a freak!
You're a lame-butt rapper
And your rhymes are weak!"
I don't get mad and I don't critique
I forgive him, and turn the other cheek
I don't blaspheme and I don't brag
I don't cuss, and my pants don't sag
I do exude a little Christian swag
And I'm proud to be an American!

[Hook: Both]
Jesus Christ is our nigga
Let his light shine through ya!
Let his love pop a cap in your butt and say HALLELUJAH!

[Verse 4: Both]
Jesus Christ is my nigga
He's a homie MC JC UC?
He's an honest, caring, peace-loving nigga
Like me
If you do drugs and think you're

    This song set a new precedent for hip-hop, shaping it into a genre full of strong social commentary about the struggles of people of color and people in poor urban neighborhoods, and drawing attention to issues of institutionalized racism. It paints an image of life in the ghetto: in the 1980s the Bronx was a victim of government neglect, with resources and funds going to more affluent neighborhoods. The song sought to inform people of the conditions in their neighborhood and ghettos like it…
