             G5            Bb5             
They call me white devil, Black Jesus,  
A5              F5 
Heaven closes, Hell freezes, 
G5 
Egos trippin', 
Bb5 
Scripts keep flippin' 
A5 
Bloods keep bloodin', 
F5 
Crypts keep crippin' 
G5 
Time keeps slippin' 
Bb5 
And I keep fallin' 
A5                 F5 
I can't see but I hear them callin', 
G5 
Ballers ballin' 
Bb5 
Players playin', 
A5 
Haters fightin', 
F5 
Righteous prayin' 
G5 
Dawn breaking, 
   Bb5 
Manhattan keeps making, 
A5 
Brooklyn keeps takin' 
F5 
Shook ones keep shakin', 
G5 
No time for fakin' 
Bb5                     A5 
Know what I mean ain't choppin' no pies, 
     F5 
Just risin' like cream 
G5 
If you're digging the scene, 
Bb5 
If you feelin' the vibes, 
A5 
Throw your hands in the air, 
F5 
Scream out you're alive, 
        G5       Bb5 
Singin' na na nana na na 
        A5       F5 
Singin' na na nana na na 
(Repeat) 
             G5            Bb5 
They call me Black Jesus, White Moses, 
A5               F5 
Heaven freezes, hell closes 
G5               Bb5 
B.Boy poses and punk rock chicks, 
A5                            F5 
The kids are all right but I need my fix 
G5    
If you're diggin' the mix, 
Bb5 
If you're feelin' the drugs 
A5 
If you're keepin' it real 
F5 
If you're livin' like thugs, 
       G5                     Bb5 
I spit kisses and hugs like .45 slugs 
     A5                           F5 
Come back on the one and kiss my love gun 
G5 
Gotta look that will kill, 
Bb5 
A voice that will carry, 
A5                          F5 
Half a dozen women I think I wanna marry, 
G5                   Bb5    
Trouble on my mind, refusin' to lose 
A5                     F5 
Still I've gotta find someone to abuse 
G5 
So won't you run spread the news 
Bb5 
Help say the word 
(no guitar, just count the beats) 
And jump the fuck back and act like you heard 

CHORUS 
             G5            Bb5           A5 
They call me white devil, Black Jesus, heaven closes 
F5             G5            Bb5           A5 
Hell freezes, Black Jesus, White Moses, heaven freezes 
F5                    G5        Bb5               
Hell closes, singin' na na nana na na  
        A5        F5 
singin' na na nana na na 

*That?s the basic idea, the rest is pretty much the same* 


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 

CHORUS 

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 singing 
(Repeat)
