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

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 shadow of death is

Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless, uh

Try to catch it, uh! It's kinda 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 till November I got packs to move I Hope

(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

'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 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
