Jesus Walks Lyrics - Kanye West

1 Yo

2 We at war

3 We at war with terrorism, racism

4 And most of all, we at war with ourselves

5 (Jesus walk) God show me the way because the devil's tryna break me down

6 (Jesus walk with me, with me, with me, with me, with me) Yeah, uh

7 '''Kanye West and Curtis Mayfield:'''

8 You know what the Midwest is? Young and restless

9 Where restless (niggas) might snatch your necklace

10 And next these (niggas) might jack your Lexus

11 Somebody tell these (niggas) who Kanye West is

12 I walk through the valley of the Chi where death is

13 Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless

14 Try to catch it, it's kinda hard getting choked by detectives, yeah, yeah, now check the method

15 They be askin' us questions, harass and arrest us

16 Sayin' "We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"

17 Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?

18 We ain't going nowhere but got suits and cases

19 A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis

20 My mama used to say only Jesus can save us

21 Well mama I know I act a fool

22 But I'll be gone till November, I got packs to move, I hope

23 '''Kanye West:'''

24 (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down

25 (Jesus walk with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

26 (Jesus walk) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong

27 (Jesus walk with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

28 (I want Jesus)

29 (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down

30 (Jesus walk with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

31 (Jesus walk) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong

32 (Jesus walk with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

33 (I want Jesus)

34 '''Kanye West and John Legend:'''

35 Uh, to the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers (Jesus walks for them)

36 To the victims of welfare for we livin' in Hell here, hell yeah (Jesus walks for them)

37 Now, hear ye, hear ye, want to see thee more clearly

38 I know he hear me when my feet get weary

39 'Cause we're the almost nearly extinct

40 We rappers is role models, we rap, we don't think

41 I ain't here to argue about his facial features

42 Or here to convert atheists into believers

43 I'm just tryna say the way school need teachers

44 The way Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's the way I need Jesus

45 So here go my single dog, radio needs this

46 They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus

47 That means guns, sex, lies, videotape

48 But if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?

49 Well if this take away from my spins

50 Which'll probably take away from my ends

51 Then I hope this take away from my sins

52 And bring the day that I'm dreamin' about

53 Next time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out

54 '''Kanye West:'''

55 (Jesus walk) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down

56 (Jesus walk with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
