Kanye West - Jesus Walks lyrics

Album: The College Dropout (2004)

I need to recruit all the soldiers
All of God´s soldiers
We at war...
We at war with society, racism, terrorism
But 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, with me)

You know what the mid-west 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. HUH!

I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is.
Top floor of the view alone´ll leave you breathless
Try to catch it ... it is kind of hard
Getting choked by detectives yea yea now check the method.
They be asking us questions, harass & arrest us
Saying We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit what´s the basis?
We aint going no where but got suits & 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 will be gone til November. I got packs to move I hope.

Chorus {twice}
(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil trying 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 do not think there isn´thing I can do to right my wrong
(Jesus walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I am afraid because we aint spoke in so long
(I want Jesus)

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 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 are the almost nearly extinct
We rappers is role models we rap we do not think
I aint here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheist into believers
I am just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that is the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dawg radio needs this
They said you can rap anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk bout God my record won´t get played
Huh?
Well if this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope it take away from my sins
And bring the day that I am dreamin ´bout
Next time I am in the club everybody screaming out...

(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil trying 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 do not think there isn´thing I can do to right my wrong
(Jesus walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I am afraid because we aint spoke in so long
(I want Jesus)
