Logic talks in this song, through the lyrics about how whatever race, religion, colour, creed, and sexual orientation a person is they should be proud of it and also respect other people's differences because nowadays things such as the ones mentioned are what differentiate the human race from being united.
Logic said: "This song is the celebration of unity and a world built upon division. People say things like I don't see color, I just see people. To which I retour you should see color, you should see a black man, a white woman, a brown little girl or any other color of the rainbow."
Logic talks about the stereotypical portrayals of Jesus as a white Caucasian.
Praise Black Jesus now call the preacher
Maybe Jesus was black
Maybe Jesus had dreads
He explained in his video on Rap Genius:
"I had a whole conversation with Killer Mike about Jesus. And he really educated me and hipped me on it. But I just don't see Jesus being hella pasty. It just doesn't make sense when you think about where he comes from.
But I don't know, I'm not here to argue about religion. I'm not here to say what Jesus was or wasn't. It just comes down to the fact that me saying, "Black Jesus," shouldn't make you feel a way. So what maybe Jesus was Black. You know how many Black households I've been in and they got Black Jesus?
There is legit Asian Jesus on people's walls. I've gone in their house and they got Asian Jesus. I swear to god. These things exist, but I've been so used to seeing white Jesus, everywhere. It's not about that. It's not about religion.
This is about racism. This is about depicting what is or should be or shouldn't be. Let Spider-Man be Puerto Rican, Black, Asian or whatever. It doesn't matter."
Although I have linked it many times throughout my blog, I feel like this is the most justified post to date in which this video is relevant.
These are the lyrics that I am going to be using for my music video and the ones which I wont be using are the lyrics which I havent annotated, I think this will become more apparent when I do other things such as my shot list video showing my progress and also my editing timeline showing where everything is going to be placed.
