Artist: Kanye West
Album: College Dropout
Song: Jesus Walks

Yo,
We at war,
We at war with terrorism, racism,
But most of all, we at war with ourselves,

(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil's tryin'a break me down
(Jesus walks with me, with me, with me, with me, with me)

You know what the mid-west 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. HUH!,

I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is,
Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless,
Try to catch it ... it's kind of hard,
Getting choked by 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 no where 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 til November. I got packs to move I hope,

[Chorus]
(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil's 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's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

[Kanye West]
To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scripples,
(Jesus walks with them!)
To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea,
(Jesus walks with them!)
Now hear ye hear ye wanna 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 atheist into believers,
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers,
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's 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'm dreamin 'bout,
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out,

[Chorus]
