Lyrics:
Nowadays you can’t watch TV
Without seein’ these celebrities
Bein’ bad and smokin’ crack and gettin’ rich
And our children soak it all up like a sponge in Coca Cola
Then we wonder why they turned out like they did
Way back in the day Mama made dang sure I knew
All I had to do was look up
To have someone to look up to
And so I did, and to this day I still do
He used to hang out with the stars and everybody knew his name
He was a long haired livin’ legend co-wrote Amazing Grace
And I know that we can get him back on top if we pitched in
Let’s make Jesus famous again
Join the fan club buy the T-shirt
Start a street team spread the good word
Get him on the cover of the Rollin Stone
Can I get a hallelujah
Yeah and if the spirit moves ya
I’d like to hear his single on my radio
We can all agree here lately the devils put us all through hell
So let’s put our hands together and let’s raise a little help
Until his good book is flyin’ off the shelves
He used to hang out with the stars and everybody knew his name
He was a long haired livin’ legend cowrote Amazing Grace
And I know that we can get him back on top if we pitched in
Let’s make Jesus famous again
He's a good role model for the kids
Not just because of who his daddy is
They kicked him out of school and all the guns and drugs rushed in
But I can’t help but think my friend
That our children were better off back then with him
Can I get an amen!
Let’s make Jesus famous again
Hey, what do you say?
Let’s make Jesus famous again
