Gimme a break!

I'm at the bus terminal, and the bus is late again
And amidst all the hustle and bustle, I see them
On the corner in their priestly attire, fists in the air,
Shouting, "JESUS IS BLACK!"
This is always good for a laugh or an outrage,
Better yet, some nice white guy approaching that
Tenderly places his hand on my shoulder and looks
Into me deeply, "They're not preaching love, Sister".
        I'm just minding my own business man! I don't want
   All that!
But when my idle ears do stray, I find myself shaking
My head at them, thinking, "These niggas just ain't doing it right".
Then suddenly, my pity is assaulted by this middle aged white
Woman, who'd normally rather give me a cigarette than pay
Me any attention. She plops right next to me flailing her arms and trying to
Create a big scene as she says, "GOD, I WISH THEY WOULD
JUST SHUT UP!!!" The bitch gets a little round of applause as she
Rolls her eyes at me, daring me to disagree.
            I'm just minding my OWn GODDAMN BUSINESS--WHAT
        THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT??!
However, I simply can't back away from a challenge. I turn and look directly
In her eye with a laugh on my lips, They just niggas wastin they time, gurl;
E'rybody knows Jesus is white.
