From the recording Timeline [Album] (2/2021)
Justin Martyr aka Justin-Credible has released the single “White Man’s Religion?” which is the second single released from his Album entitled NNSM (New Name Same Mission). A music video accompanies the song as well. “White Man’s Religion?” is a song that debunks the false, but well-known claim that Christianity is a religion that belongs to White (European) people.
Many believe that the Christian faith was introduced to black people and other minorities primarily through slavery and colonization. Justin debunks this lie propagated by many black cults and Pan-African religions through biblical, historical and logical argumentation. The fact of the matter is this: Christianity is an Eastern and African religion from the very first pages of the First Covenant in Genesis to the conclusion in the book of Revelation in the Second Covenant.
Sadly, many people were introduced to an erroneous form of Christianity through the atrocities of slavery and colonization, however Christianity had been in Africa for over 1500 years before the infamous Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Jesus; the central figure of the Christian faith actually lived in Africa and the Gospel reached Africa well before it made its way to Europe.
This is a work of art that is not meant to promote Black Supremacy, but biblical and historical accuracy. This song cuts deep and is sure to spark conversation as it touches on difficult subjects such as slavery, racism, colonization, black cults, ethnic identity and Christian unity. While many aspects of the subject matter are controversial; it is a necessary conversation to have nonetheless.

Lyrics
Intro: [Detractor]
You a Christian bro, man I can’t believe you worship that White Jesus!
Man, you need to liberate your mind, free yourself bro that’s your slave master talking!
-I don’t know what that was about, that was a good interruption but let’s just be real about it, Christianity is a White Man’s Religion
-There’s no reason a Black man should ever be a Christian! Have you ever heard of Marcus Garvey? Malcolm X? People like that? Man, that’s your slave master talking
-Free your mind bro, liberate yourself, you should read your history that’s the White Man’s Religion!
Hook: Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, spеak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in thе prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
They say that Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, speak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in the prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
Verse 1:
So they say that Christianity’s the White Man’s Religion (how?)
When it started in the Middle East
Jesus wasn't even white, he was man of color
Lies are being spread in the streets
Christians been in Africa way before Europe (true)
I encourage you to look at facts
We see Philip bring the gospel to an African
In the 8th Chapter of the Book of Acts
Lots of Black Religions are poppin up in the new school
And their main source of theology is YouTube
Who knew, so many would eat the doodoo
A racist religion can't possibly be true dude
Discrimination is a hell of a prison
Now so many people of color left evangelicalism
See Black America still searches for identity
But you'll never find that yelling out obscenities
Africans been selling other Africans for centuries
It still happens today that's a fact that few are mentioning
Hebrew Israelites been causing devastation
But many of their leaders have 8th grade educations
No degrees, no credentials
Wikipedia theologian your lies are monumental
We're inundated, We don't need any more of them
False gospel preaching Google historians
Nation of Islam, Kemets, 5 Percenters Moors
Your work’s-based faiths can't get you to the Lord
Man, I know you've been hurt and disappointed by the church
We apologize but your false religion makes it worse
Most churches in the hood don't preach sound doctrine
Still Yeshua's the only way, there ain’t no other option
Hook: Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, speak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in the prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
They say that Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, speak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in the prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
Verse 2:
It’s crazy but most people haven’t seen this
Africa was once home to Jesus
Matthew 2 Yeshua lived in Egypt
Some haters wish this part of the Bible was deleted
The Black presence in the Bible’s so evident
Africans show up in the Old and New Testament
Jethro, Zipporah even Zephaniah
Were among African leaders & biblical writers
Simon of Cyrene who helped Christ carry the Cross
Was African don’t let that truth be lost
Sadly, a lot of White Christians owned slaves
But White Christians also helped to end the Trans-Atlantic Trade
White Christians make love a priority
Many keep ignoring the pain of minorities
We gotta bear each other's burdens
So don’t continue to debate people while their hurting
Hook: Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, speak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in the prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
They say that Christianity’s a White Man’s Religion!
Stop lying, speak with precision
Stop buying what they teach in the prisons
Don’t be deceived pick truth over fiction
Outro:
Christianity AIN’T the White Man’s Religion let’s just kill that forever, Thank You!
