Kanye West — Jesus Walks Live at Abbey Road Studios

[Intro: 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 say [Chorus: Kanye West & The Arc Choir] (Jesus walk) God show me the way Because the Devil's tryna break me down (Jesus walk with me) [Verse 1: Kanye West] 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 *gasps* Try to catch it, *gasps* 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 'til November, I got packs to move, I hope [Chorus: Kanye West & The Arc Choir] (Jesus walk) God show me the way Because the Devil's 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 nothin' I could do now To right my wrongs (Jesus walk with me) I wanna talk to God But I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long (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 (Break me down, break me down Break me down, break me down Break me down, break me down) [Verse 2: Kanye West] To the hustlers, killers Murderers, drug dealers, even the strippers (Jesus walks for them) To the victims of welfare, feel we livin' in Hell here, hell yeah (Jesus walks for them) Now, hear he, hear he, want to see Thee more clearly I know He hear me when my feet get weary 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 Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's how I need Jesus So here go my single, dawg, radio needs this They said you could rap about anything except for Jesus That means guns, sex, lies, videotape But 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 [Chorus: Kanye West & The Arc Choir] (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
