Jesus Walks Lyrics Artist(Band):Kanye West
We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves (Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down (Jesus Walks with me) with me, with me, with me [fades] You know what the Midwest is? Young & 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 shadow of death is Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh! Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard hard Getting choked by the 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 nowhere 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 [Hook x2] (Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down (Jesus Walks with me) The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now (Jesus Walks) And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs (Jesus Walks with me) I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even us cripples (Jesus walks with them) To the victims of Welfare for we living in hell here hell yeah (Jesus walks with 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 are role models we rap we don't think I ain't here to argue about his facial features, But here to convert atheists into believers I'm just trying to 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, video tapes But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh? Well let this take away from my spins Which will probably take away from my ends Then I hope this take away from my sins And bring the day that I'm dreaming about Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out (Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus Walks) The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now (Jesus Walks) And I don't thing there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs (Jesus walks with me... fades) I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long If you find some error in Jesus Walks Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Jesus Walks Jesus walks the walk | Reviewer: Leilani Kauhola | 5/24/09 I LOVE THIS SONG! It's a shame that Kanye didn't get much radio play with this one. But all is well. As a christian, I think it's a bomb as$ song. The music video is touching and I give Kanye West props on his whole career. If all the well off rappers would throw some words down about their walk with Jesus, we wouldn't have to feel like we're the only ones crying out for our savior. Definetly two thumbs up from me. I'm just saying.... :) Jesus! | Reviewer: eagle | 4/28/09 I am shocked how christians are used to bash people for talkin' about their _even wiered _beleifs, and have the heart and art to put it into songs, its just the way muslems have got used to for decades and centuries...I am a MUSLIM , and I have no doubt, Authority restricting ppl, has ciesed Islam from being what it is and scientists from discovering and inventors from inventing, doesn't matter what the religion is, DARE to walk it, coz I am Iranian, and no one has the doubt to sing sth about ALLAH and how he thinks of HIM , we all have this 6/8 sexy asses songs arround... Jesus walk not walks. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/22/09 I think you guys would do well to listen to the song more carefully...the refrain is saying "Jesus walk" not "Jesus walks" so the question is, is Kanye asking Jesus to be with him or is he making a statement that Jesus is walking with him. I would go with the former. He's weighed down; his conception of who Jesus is is severely limited. Out of his limited knowledge of Christ he's asking Him to be with him. The rest of his lyrics show he doesn't have the complete picture. hip hop IS controversial | Reviewer: cat | 4/15/09 Jesus said 'you who are perfect throw the first stone'.. I agree 100% with Michael... ( the one WITH the CAPITALS thing GOInG) You got it all right there. Jesus hung out with the murderers, strippers, prostitutes, drug dealers of his society.... Jesus came to heal the sick, not the healthy..... How else will you reach the thousands of souls on the street without someone like Kanye West, who they respect, giving them the message??? Even if people don't agree with what he is saying... at least they are thinking about it!!!! None of this stupid apathy.. people like it or hate it but either way they are thinking about Jesus!!! Surely that's worth rejoicing for???? So what if it's not perfect??? He's doing more for God and being more courageous than most of us 'true' christians.(btw we are all equal, no christian is somehow better than another cause they sin less!!) He can't have got all that much profit from this record but he took the time and released it all the same for our rebellion... we ARE at war with society. Kanye West, yes, JESUS WALKS!!! He walks with you even when you don't know it! and he's listening no matter how long it's been. JESUS WALKS! Stop bashin his music | Reviewer: David | 4/9/09 This is a great song. I am 16 white and i live in australia and this song is something from the heart. This is the best song about christianity u will find as it is done by a man who has had a troubled life not some man/woman who has been raised to be a christian and lived a perfect life. Bryan u have to realise that this is about the only way we are going to spread the word of the lord through out the world as most kids dont want to listen to christian rock as no offence it is terrible. Oh, relax people | Reviewer: judijo | 4/5/09 Kanye is not my favorite artists, but this song is one of my favorites, and I am white and his mother's age (may she rest in peace). This song represents the crazy scene of hypocrites and fake people who call themselves artists. The writer, I would guess Kanye himself, is torn between what his head, his heart, and his soul is telling him on a daily basis. We are all stuck in a constant tearing of what is done and what SHOULD be done, in the eyes and laws of God. I think West put it down very well here. The day he's DREAMING about | Reviewer: michael | 3/12/09 I FREAKED out when I heard this song. A secular rap artist rapping about JESUS ? What GIVES ? Let me give those IN THE DARK some CLARITY: EVERY heart has a GOD-SHAPED hole that can only be FILLED by JESUS. This is KANYE'S cry for that HOLE in his HEART to be FILLED. He is RECOGNIZING HIS need for LIFE RESTORATION throu JESUS. It's a PUBLIC cry of DESPERATION from a sinner who has GAINED the WORLD but whose SOUL is in JEAPORDY. He has EVERYTHING of the world a man could ever want. BUT no REAL PEACE or JOY. THOSE only come from ABOVE, and from JESUS (who is NOT of this WORLD).If you know anything about Kanye, you know his MOTHER was an integral part of his LIFE. She ENCOURAGED him to GET RIGHT with JESUS. This ADMONITION is echoed in the lyrics of this song. After her DEATH, that PLEA from her became a DEEP PIERCING TRUTH that he cannot DISTANCE himself from. GOD used her as a WITNESS in HIS life, and she DID HER DUTY WELL (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, ....almost) She did not live to see the fruition of her WORK, but I BELIEVE she will see it from HEAVEN. Kanye uses COARSE language open to criticism, but it is a LANGUAGE his FANS understand. The word in question is used in the context of descriptive imagry, conveying a message of truth. How does one FAULT TRUTH in it's sometimes BRUTAL REALITY ? SHIT is a word in this CONTEXT meaning GARBAGE (or worse than). We've all been treated like that (ESPECIALLY by SATAN, but by no means LIMITED to him). Who can argue with HIS SOUND REASONING. This "HOLIER THAN THOU" attitude of CRITICISM by some CHRISTIANS and others, I find is REMINICIENT of the SCRIBES & PHARASEYS in JESUS' time on earth. In regards to this WISEN UP & let PAUL give you a REVELATION, READ PHILIPPIANS 1:18. PAUL would have (& DOES !) REJOICE in that Kanye is literally PREACHING JESUS with BOLDNESS & COURAGE not found in many CHRISTIANS ! This man should be COMMENDED, encouraged in that witnessing vein of song writing, and most ASSUREDLY lifted UP to the LORD in PRAYER. I hear in this song, a lost, hurting SOUL crying out to a LIVING GOD, with the UNSHAKABLE CONFIDENCE that JESUS ALONE can save HIS LOST SOUL. Yes JESUS WALKS wherever HE pleases. And if you are WISE to RECEIVE it, EVEN in RAP SONGS with seemingly "questionable" lyrics ! Can I get an AMEN ANYBODY ? (I for one PRAYS Kanye FINDS that day he's DREAMING about, when JESUS WALKS with him.... Wow guys | Reviewer: Jeremy | 2/20/09 Seriously, I am christian, and i do not take offense in this song, it shows how our society is going, how we should look up to god for help, for his mercy. And if these other people who bash this song, you are not doing a fellow brother a favor, god commanded that we love each other. And not hate, we all make mistakes. I think it is childish christians should bash things just because "it isn't good", I am christian, true christian. And god has always helped me, Jesus walks! wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/5/09 note to all you bible thumpers out there: not everyone lives in the stone age where we put money in the swear jar and live our lives based on god. stop preaching great song, kanye fell off as of late with that 808s and Heartbreak album, but i hope he can get back to his College Dropout type shit, this song, All Falls Down, etc are great Substance | Reviewer: David Leitman | 2/2/09 Society needs fathers back in their children's lives, so kids don't look to rappers to raise them and teach them how to be men. Only Jesus gives us the perfect example of manhood, but a father in a kid's life is also crucial.
