Jesus Walks- Kanye West

"Jesus Walks"

Yo, We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me) with me, with me, with me [fades]

You know what the Midwest is?
Young & 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 Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard 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? Yall eat pieces of (?) 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

[Hook x2]
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

To the hustlers, 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
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 trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I 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 trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't thing there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me... fades)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

[sonifrostie]

how true.... he said those words

" IF I TALK ABOUT GOD... MY RECORD WONT BE PLAYED... HAAN????

[yankzaway09]

Sonifrostie here is a piece of the lyrics you're questioning me. you can read it all to be clarified:

[yankzaway09]

hehe so sorry... I have difficulties in absorbing English as it's not my language. :) but thanks for that...

[LEExUH6]

Awesome video :)

[MademoiselleAnna]

[ironstorm7]

[xrune1kax]

[freedombiteback]

@yankzaway09 The Record industries are run by Luciferians (Jews)...Ps, Don't shoot the messenger !...Peace..

@back2realitygal11 Telling someone their imaginary soul is gonna burn in hell for eternity because someone doesn't live the way you do is such a righteous thing to do? Well thanks for looking out for me lol.

[back2realitygal11]

@Jman0944 it really doesnt go against anything we believe in.... If you tell someone they probably will go to hell, and warn them that their souls in jeopardy before its too late, thats kind of a nice thing to do, dont you think? I'm sure I would appreciate it. Get a fucking clue. Christians look out for other people. Unlike you.

[Jman0944]

@back2realitygal11 "I hope you enjoy hell" is not saying you're going to hell? You're right you're not the one to judge, and there might not be anyone to do it. We don't know :). Saying their soul needs to be prayed for is saying something is wrong with them (because they're not like you?), thus judging... Which goes against everything you're supposed to believe in. I bet you've done plenty to deserve to burn, we all have so stop finger pointing.. BTW Kanye West is an ego driven paper christian,

[back2realitygal11]

@Jman0944 I never said he was... I'm not one to judge. God is. I'm just saying, I'll pray for him. And how does it goes against everything we believe in? I never directly said YOURE GOING TO HELL. < thats not good. But saying "I'll pray for you and your soul", Isn't. I feel sorry for people like Him/Her.

[Jman0944]

@back2realitygal11 why is it always a christian telling someone they're going to hell, or are going to enjoy hell? I've always heard all my life, and it goes against everything they supposedly believe in. Never made sense to me...

[back2realitygal11]

This is such an impowering song. The choir, the beat and the lyrics. <333 It gives me chills. I think any Christian would get chills from this. "To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers

(Jesus walks with them)" < Another way to say Jesus loves you no matter what. Very haunting, and true. <333333

It almost reminds me of John Lennons "Happy Christmas". They resemble each other a lot in a way.
