Jesus Walks Lyrics

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 Niggaz might snatch your necklace

 And next these Niggaz might jack your Lexus

 Somebody tell these Niggaz who Kanye West is

 I walk through the valley of the shadow of 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 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

 

 [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 me 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 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 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 yall 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 me feet don't fail me now
