This song is about trust. Trust in a divine being that me (we) as displaced black peoples were only introduced to during slavery. This introduction was used as a method to “civilize” the so-called savage and establish a pecking order. The concept of a white Jesus is absurd given his geographical origin and it was truly one of the most wicked forms of white supremacy. The song is about deciding to believe in a God who relates to the god within. Same powers, same parables but in a divine being who looks as I do. All while noting the issues that come with any organized religion.
