Jesus Walks
Producer:Kanye West
Writers:Rhymefest/Kanye West
Samples:Ode To Billie Joe(1968)—Lou Donaldson
(Don't Worry)lf There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go(1970)—Curtis Mayfield
Walk With Me(1997)—The ARC Choir
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 (N!ggas) might snatch your necklace
And next these (N!ggas) might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these (N!ggas) 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 sh!t like you for breakfast"
Huh? Y'all eat pieces of sh!t? What's the basis?
We ain't going nowhere but got suits and cases
A trunk full of c0ke, 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, s3x, 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
