[A5][Am][A][Am][A][Am][Bb]

[Verse 1]
[C]Black Jesus,
white Jesus, Jesus where do I begin?
[Am]Sons of former slaves, former [C]slave owner's,
at the table king,
Former [Am]cave owner's,
gene donors, [C]that's my thing,
[Am]Baa baa black sheep,
what I [C]can, cannot sing.
How did it ever get to this, vicious [Am]circle,
circus [C]ring,
Circumstance [Am]has me defend[C]ing my skin,
On ice where the ice is [Am]thin.
What have we become,
why have we become numb?
Color just a cover,
uncover[C], discover within.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Stay back, stay [G5]back, stay down,
[D5]Stay back, stay [Am]back, stay down,
Stay back, [G5]stay back, stay down,
[D5]Peace is our policy,
for [C]peace [G5]we're bound!
[Am]Stay back, stay [G5]back, stay down,
[D5]Stay back, stay [C]back, stay[Am] down,
Stay back, [G5]stay back, stay down,
[D5]Peace is our policy,
for [C]peace we're bound!

[Interlude 1]
[Bb]

[Verse 3]
[Bb]Black Jesus, white Jesus,
Jesus when do [Am]you step in?
[Bb]Sons of former slaves, voters,
home owner's,
At their tables, King.
On their cables, TV screens,
cam captured everything.
All across the globe [Am]shocked,
racial tensions rocked,
April [C]29. 92 white jury hits the spot,
Black fury loaded,
exploded like a gun [Am]shot,
Left a message that must
never be for[C]got,
For a front seat on the bus,
how high the cost?
Bellies turned, cities burned,
Anger justified, vindic[Am]ated why, indignation,
[C]pride,
Constitution lied,
someone's gotta pay, fifty eight die.
Two wrongs, no light,
case of [Am]black against the wall,
And I [C]ain't going down without a fight.

[Verse 4]
[Am]Stay back, stay [G5]back, stay down,
[D5]Stay back, stay [C]back, stay[Am] down,
Stay back, [G5]stay back, stay down,
[D5]Peace is our policy,
for [C]peace [G]we're bound!
[Am]Stay back, stay [G5]back, stay down,
[D5]Stay back, stay [C]back, stay[Am] down,
Stay back, [G5]stay back, stay down,
[D5]Peace is our policy,
for [C]peace [D5]we're bound![Bb][Am]
Just about ready for [Bb]this!
[Am]This!
Just about [Bb]ready for,
[Am]Take your time,
you got all the time you need,
Criticize, first [Bb]pick up the page and read.
[Am]Justified, ya better believe,
I am not your enemy,
so no apologies please.
[Am]Peace[Bb][Am]
[Bb]is o[Am]ur policy,
peace [G5]is our policy,
[D5]Peace is our policy, peace[C] is our poli[G]cy,
[Am]Peace is our policy, [G5]peace is our policy,
[D5]Peace is our policy,
for [C]peace we're [Am]bound![Bb]
[Am]This!
Just about [Bb]ready for, [Am]this![Bb]
[Am]This!
Just about [Bb]ready for, [Am]this![Am]
Just about ready for, [Am]this![Am]
Just about ready for, this!
