Background
In an interview with E! news, Gaga stated that the name of the title was interchangeable. She had used both phrases in the song and they were both very good, so she decided to use both. She continued by saying that the song was about when she moved to downtown New York when she was 19. The lyrics are about how when Gaga moved downtown, she was introduced to an entirely new way of thinking that was so different from the way she was taught. Up till then, iconic imagery had taught her her entire life to look at Jesus and religion a certain way. So she sees Black Jesus as an entirely new way of thinking, which she believed was caused by meeting new people and seeing new things. She says that the Amen Fashion part of the song is about having a new way of seeing is as easy as changing your fashion.

Lyrics
Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black, black.
Jesus is the new black,
Jesus is the new black,
Jesus is the new black,
Jesus is the new black, ow!
I grew up in New York City,
Since I was born on Broadway, baby.
Moved downtown when I was just 19,
To start a new life on the New York scene.
There's no way I could be stopped,
Was taking my best shot,
I had a better plan.
There's no way I could be stopped,
Was coming for your spot,
I met better men.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Dancing in my relevation,
Underground pop civilization.
Concrete poetry to feed my mind,
Old symbolism was left behind.
There's no way I could be stopped,
Was taking my best shot,
I had a better plan.
There's no way I could be stopped,
Was coming for your spot,
I met a better men.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Put it on,
Amen Fashion.
Celebrate,
Ooh ooh,
A new compassion.
Put it on,
Amen Fashion.
Celebrate,
Ooh ooh,
Style your passion.
Put it on,
Amen Fashion.
Celebrate,
Ooh Ooh,
A new compassion.
Put it on,
Amen Fashion.
Celebrate,
Ooh ooh,
Wear out your vision.
Black Jesus, Black Jesus, Black Jesus
Jesus is the new black, ow!
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
Amen, on the runway,
Dressed in his best.
Amen fashion, on the runway,
Work it Black Jesus.
