[Kanye West - Jesus Walks lyrics]
We at war we at war with terrorism, racism
But most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the
Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
You know what the Midwest
Is? Young and restless where restless
(Niggas) might snatch your necklace
And next these (Niggas) might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these
(Niggas) who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of
The Chi where death is
Top floor the view alone will
Leave you breathless gasps
Try to catch it gasps it's kinda hard
Getting choked by detectives, yeah, yeah
Now check the method
They be askin' us questions
Harass and arrest us
Sayin' "We eat pieces of shit
Like you for breakfast"
Huh? Y'all eat pieces of
Shit? What's the basis?
We ain't going nowhere but
Got suit's and cases
A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis
My mama used to say only Jesus can save us
Well mama I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone 'til November
I got packs to move i hope
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the
Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that
My feet don't fail me now (Jesus, walk)
And I don't think there's nothin' I can
Do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus, walk with me)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid
'cause we ain't spoke in so long
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the
Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that
My feet don't fail me now (Jesus, walk)
And I don't think there's nothin' I can
Do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus, walk with me)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid
'cause we ain't spoke in so long
So long, so long (Jesus, walk with me)
To the hustlers, killers
Murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers
(Jesus walks for them)
To the victims of welfare feel
We livin' in Hell here, hell yeah
(Jesus walks for them)
Now, hear ye, hear ye
Want to see Thee more clearly
I know He hear me when my feet get weary
'Cause we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers is role models: we rap
We don't think i ain't here to argue
About His facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just tryna say the
Way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis
That's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single, dawg, radio needs this
They say you can rap about
Anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk about God
My record won't get played, huh?
Well if this take away from my spins
Which'll probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreamin' about
Next time I'm in the club
Everybody screamin' out
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the
Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that
My feet don't fail me now
But most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the
Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
