Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
I don't wanna here nothin'
Word Up, got to pay
Yeah, Its like that right
Blow his Back out, make his shoes work
Hey yo, this shit be off the knock it rock
Whatever cock block it
Cat get blown, who own this
Street corner,
Foreigner hesitate to rock a Hummer
Navy Seal top runner, rhyme this summer
For real, marinatin' nigga's skatin'
Debatin' waitin' style flowinly relatin'
Fine line switch it on ya like venetian blinds
The mission is mine, fabulous king I devine
Titanium Hydro collado, Yo dunn dunn polly dis conjunction
Son what, slang doctor, Medicaid the kids pay it
Say if these niggas in affect dunn, stay rap related
Cassette rhymer, 5-G co-signer, line for liner
Poet designer, sharp like liners
Mic of the year award, fly gear award
Them niggas over there be analyzing for one sword
Get bent, pay the rent, plus still we invent
'nough shit to get your whole team
Crazily sent
Now all I need is a half gallon of weed
Proceed, to bust as Mike Ditka made three seeds
Then Max out like two Ack's inside the parking lot
Son Bark a lot and get seen hit in that dark a lot
What now blow, clickin' like a calico
Gold max million, one love keep it real yo
[Ghostface Killah]
Yo, hit me for these Tommy Hill, Ice rocking niggas
Peace, the summers mine, I blow the biggest
Back up off me, while I grab my dick and hold the Heini
Park the Blue 600, Wally kings is right behind me
Tackle clubs, never rock Lugz, I'm way above
This mic is like golden gloves verses spark plug
Its like the pennant, Seminars the Play-off
Start the J off like Cochran got OJ off
The Specialist who eyeballed the mistress necklace
Perpetuous, this curly head kid's treturous
Leggo the Eggo, so we can dip dip dive the gleego
Throwin' can-can, eat that plus this instrumental
Aww Shit say Stark-aligist, Starks-aligist
Fried fish halibut
Pull out the bull horn
And celebrate like Kunta was born
We elbowed our way inside loud and got on
I played the building, burn a branch and get filled in
Like Pilgrims G-in' Pepridge farms from out a million
Who wanna rhyme? who wanna challenge the swordsman?
That rock that fisherman hat like Gorden's
[U-God]
I hose down the place
No shots to the face
Elite Special force no religion style faith
The meltin' pot boil gun shot drama soil
Gamble when I scramble handle hot pots of oil
Man handle brain killin' erect my hidden
Streets may be potent put your 9-6 bid in
Vampire Curse disperse on each verse
Swim in black water, act slaughter through my earth
You're hit by my element Great Wall of China
Mountain Peak hold the globe like vagina
Measure on my mic stand, molecule and strand
Finger rollin' rhythm ride the horse one hand
Golden Eye, Spy vs. Spy, guilty of suspicion
Chess boxer, mic in dead body position
40 oz. Ciga-art, three verse invented
Divine universal black man representin'
Similar the pure, rhyme blowing out the pore
Battery in the back, keep it charged for the raw
I'm bred type thorough, pistol lyro gun hero
Renaissance rebel shadow boxing your barrel
Fully woven Beethoven, hit you on a humble
Hard enough to hurt you, chastise my rap styles
Lock down, for this curfew
The lyrics to Ghostface Killah's song "Black Jesus" can be seen as a representation of the street mentality that pervades ghetto life. The song features Ghostface Killah alongside Raekwon and U-God, and each verse contrasts their lives with those of those who they consider to have an easier time in life. The opening lines of the song are a request to be hit, as if wanting to feel the pain that the artists see as an inevitable part of their lives. The lines "Blow his back out, make his shoes work" set the tone for the song, as it is an allusion to the violence that permeates the streets where they come from.
Raekwon's verse highlights the nihilistic attitude towards violence that is found in the ghetto. The lines "Whatever cock block it/Cat get blown" refer to the idea that anything that stands in their way will be destroyed. There is also a sense of pride in being from the streets, as exemplified by the lines "For real, marinatin' nigga's skatin'/Debatin' waitin' style flowinly relatin'". This can be seen as a way of boasting about their ability to navigate the dangerous streets of their neighborhood.
Ghostface Killah's verse is more focused on materialism and potential gain. He brags about his wealth, particularly his clothing and car, and seems to revel in his position as someone who is above the law. He also takes shots at those who are seen as being below him, using derogatory language to refer to them. The line "We elbowed our way inside loud and got on" can be seen as a way of saying that he and those like him will use force to get what they want.
Overall, "Black Jesus" is a representation of the gritty reality of ghetto life, as seen from the perspective of those who live it every day. It showcases the pride and nihilism that are often found in these communities, as well as the desire for material wealth and power.

1 John 4:1
Beloved believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are of GOD because many false prophets are gone into the world
Hereby know we the spirit of GOD every spirit that confesseth that JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh is of GOD
And every spirit that confesseth not that JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh is not of GOD and this is the spirit of the antichrist
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

But there were false prophets among the people
just as there will be false teachers among you
They will secretly introduce destructive heresies even denying The Sovereign LORD

Don't be carried away by varied and strange teachings
2 John 1:10
If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house neither bid him GOD speed
