Kanye West
Jesus Walks (Intro)
Yo, we at war
We at war with terrorism, racism
Most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus walks)
God, show me the way because
The Devil's trying to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
You know what the Midwest is? Young & Restless
Where restless n***as might snatch your necklace
And next these n***as might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these n***as who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of Chi where death is
Top floor, the view alone and leave you breathless, uhh
Try to catch it, uhh, it's kinda hard
Getting choked by the detectives, yeah, yeah, now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying, ‽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 suits and cases
A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Well momma, I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone 'til November, I got packs to move, I hope
(Jesus walks)
God, show me the way because
The Devil's trying to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray
Is that me feet don't fail me now
( I want Jesus)
(Jesus walks)
And I don't think there is nothing
(Jesus walks)
I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid
'Cause we ain't spoke in so long
( I want Jesus)
(Jesus walks)
God, show me the way because
(Jesus walks)
The Devil's trying to break me down
(Walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
([Incomprehensible])
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid
Because we ain't spoke in so long, so long, so long
( I want Jesus)
(Jesus walks with me)
To the hustlas, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers
(Jesus walks with them)
To the victims of welfare, for we living in hell, here hell, yeah
(Jesus walks with them)
Now hear ye, hear ye, want to see Thee more clearly
I know He hear me when my feet get weary
'Cuz we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers as 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 trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's the way y'all need Jesus
So here go my single dog radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God, my record won't get played, huh?
Well, let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreaming about
Next time I'm in the club
Everybody screaming out
(Jesus walks)
God, show me the way because
The Devil's trying to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray
Is that me feet don't fail me now
