Paroles de 'Jesus Walks (Live At Abbey Road Studios)' par Kanye West

We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism
But most of all we at war with ourselves
Now let me hear you (Jesus walk)
God show me the way because the Devil tryna break me down
(Jesus walk with me)

Ya know what the Midwest is, young and restless
We're 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, now check the method

They 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 till November, I got packs to move

I hope (Jesus walk)
God show me the way because the Devil tryna break me down
(Jesus walk with me)
Pray is that my feet don't fail me now (Jesus walk)
And I don't think there's nothing I could do now to right my wrong (Jesus walk)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long
God show me the way, the Devil's trying to break me down
(Jesus walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
(Jesus walk with me)

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the strippers
(Jesus walks for them)
To the victims of welfare for we livin' in Hell here, hell yeah
(Jesus walks for them)
Now, hear we, hear we, want to see Thee more clearly
I know He hear me when my feet get weary
Maybe 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
Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's how I need Jesus
Here go my single dog, radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
If I talk about God my record won't get played
Well if this take away from my spins
Which'll probably take away from my ends
I hope it take away from my sins
Bring the day that I dream about
Next time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out

(Jesus walk)
God show me the way, the Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
