Jesus Walks
[Intro]We at warWe at war with terrorism, racismBut most of all we at war with ourselves
[Hook](Jesus walks)God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down(Jesus walks with me)
You know what the Midwest is? Young and restlessWhere restless (niggas) might snatch your necklaceAnd next these (niggas) might jack your LexusSomebody tell these (niggas) who Kanye West isI walk through the valley of the Chi where death isTop floor the view alone will leave you breathless *gasps*Try to catch it *gasps* it's kinda hardGetting choked by detectives: yeah, yeah, now check the methodThey be asking us questions, harass and arrest usSaying "we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?We ain't going nowhere but got suits and casesA trunk full of coke rental car from AvisMy momma used to say only Jesus can save usWell momma I know I act a foolBut I'll be gone 'til November I got packs to move I hope
[Hook](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 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 for them)To the victims of welfare for we living in hell here, hell yeah(Jesus walks for them)Now, hear ye, hear ye: want to see Thee more clearlyI know he hear me when my feet get wearyCause we're the almost nearly extinctWe rappers is role models: we rap, we don't thinkI ain't here to argue about his facial featuresOr here to convert atheists into believersI'm just trying to say the way school need teachersThe way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I need JesusSo here go my single dog radio needs thisThey say you can rap about anything except for JesusThat means guns, sex, lies, videotapeBut if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?Well if this take away from my spinsWhich will probably take away from my endsThen I hope this take away from my sinsAnd bring the day that I'm dreaming aboutNext 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 with me)The only thing 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
