Jesus Walks

Lyrics

Order, huh
 Yo
 We at war
 We at war with terrorism, racism
 And 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 (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 Chi where death is
 Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless
 Try to catch it, 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 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 cases
 A trunk full of coke, 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 trying to break me down
 ♪
 The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
 And I don't think there's nothin' I could do now to right my wrongs
 I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long
 God show me the way because the Devil's trying to break me down
 The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
 And I don't think there's nothin' I could do now to right my wrongs
 I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long
 So long
 So long
 ♪
 To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers
 (Jesus walks for them)
 To the victims of welfare for 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 dog, radio needs this
 They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
 That means guns, sex, 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 it 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 trying to break me down
 The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
