Jesus Walks lyrics
by Kanye West



{Intro}



I need to recruit all the soldiers

All of God's soldiers

We at war

We at war with society, racism, terrorism, and most of all we at war with ourselves

(Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down

(Jesus Walks with me with me with me with me) [Fades]



{Verse 1}



You know what the Midwest is?

Young & Restless

Where restless (Ni**as) might snatch your necklace

And next these (Ni**s) might jack your Lexus

Somebody tell these (Ni**s) who Kanye West is

I walk through the valley of the shadow where death is

Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless

[Gasping for air]

Try to catch it

[Gasping for air]

It's kinda hard

Gettin' choked by detectives yeah yeah now check the method

They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us

Saying "we eat pieces of s**t like you for breakfast."

Huh? Yall eat pieces of s**t what's the basis?

We ain't goin' 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 till November I got packs to move I Hope



{Chorus}



(Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down

(Jesus Walks with me)

The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

(Jesus Walks)

And I don't think there?s nothing I can do to right my wrong

(Jesus Walks with me)

I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long



(Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down

(Jesus Walks with me)

The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

(Jesus Walks)

And I don't think there?s nothing I can do to right my wrong

(Jesus Walks)

I wanna to talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long

(Jesus Walks with me with me with me) [Fades]



{Verse 2}



To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers

(Jesus walks with them)

To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea

(Jesus walks with them)

Now hear Ye hear Ye wanna see Thee more clearly

I know He hear me when my feet get weary

Cause we?re the almost nearly extinct

We rappers are 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 tryin to say the way school need teachers

The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus

So here go my single dawg radio needs this

They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus

That means guns, sex, lies, video tape

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

Well if this take away my from spins

Which will probably take away from my ends

Then I hope it take away from sins

And bring the day that I?m dreamin about

Next time I'm in the club everybody screamin out



{Chorus 2}



(Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the devil try to break me down

(Jesus Walks with me)

The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

(Jesus Walks)

And I don?t think there?s nothing I can do to right my wrong

(Jesus Walks with me with me with me with me) [Fades]

I wanna talk to God but I?m afraid cause we ain?t spoke in so long .....
