Kanye West — Jesus Lord Las Vegas Version

Lyrics from Snippets [Chorus] Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) I read about a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) [Verse] Sittin' by myself I'm just thinkin' About all I've been through, I wish I was dreaming (Jesus) Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons (Lord) I watched so many people leavе (Lord) I seen them change by the sеason, that's mama's seasonin' God got you, the devil's watchin', he just peekin' in I know I made a promise that I'd never let the reaper in (Jesus) But lately I've been losing all my deepest friends (Lord) And lately I've been swimmin' on the deepest end It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there You been down so much you don't even know what's upstairs (Jesus) Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there (Lord) And while I introduce you at the party, you say it's up there Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions And everything that you do good, it just goes unnoticed (Jesus) And they tell you that you good, to just stay focused (Lord) Mama, you was the life of the party I swear, you brought life to the party When you lost your life, it took the life out the party (Jesus) That woman rode with me like a Harley (Lord) Visions of my cousins in a cell really scarred me Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army 'Cause they been killin' niggas, since niggas was watchin' Barney (Jesus) You want dreams to come true? But I have nightmares (Lord) 'Cause if that come to life, then I might not be right here Been in the dark so long go to the light here But I'm just reaching for the stars like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus) And now I'm lightyears ahead of those nightmares (Lord) I deaded those night tales, when the night clears And if I talk to Christ, could I bring my mother back to life? And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus) But back to reality, when everything's a tragedy (Lord) And better have a strategy or you could be a statistic Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic And mama steady crying, cause she really the victim (Jesus) And she's getting high and she's getting addicted (Lord) And her older boy was stuck with the picture, painted vivid That's a family portrait, and her daughter just absorbed it Sixteen and pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord) Baby shower time, father didn't show up And she was feeling nauseous, like she finna throw up The water flows down the lakes, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus) A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord) And she's still dependent on her mom Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus) And her mom still doing drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord) But is it real love? Do the scars really heal up? From all the pain that done built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus) A week done flew by, the big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord) Left his little brother on the side, bleeding from the side He seein' red it's like he's bleeding through his eyes To see him dead the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside He even let him get the last meal, he done with the streets after this, this his last kill He gotta show him that it's that real He ran up on him with the pipe like, "Nigga, stand still" (Jesus) "You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord) "Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ" He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ" The big bro just blacked out and all you seeing was the light (Jesus, Lord) [Chorus] Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) I read about a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
