Song lyrics
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 trying to 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 
(I want Jesus) 
God show me the way because the devil's trying to break me down
(Oh please)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long 
(I want Jesus)
So long, so long

(Jesus walks with me)

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the strippers... 
(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... 

(Jesus walks) 
God show me the way because the devil 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 to right my wrong 
(Jesus walks with me) 
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long 
(I want Jesus)

Hey Nelly...learn how to speak/write English correctly, then you may criticize a song.



I absolutely love this song. I bought his album yesterday, primarily because of this song. I mean, I've liked the rest, but this one did it for me...the first rap/hip hop CD I've ever bought.

This song is awesome! Its about time someone made a rap song about something other than sex and drugs. I really admire Kanye for writing this song and I hope it touches others as much as it did me!

Im not usually a fan of rap n stuff, but this tune rocks. It's sooo good to hear a song thats not all about sex n drugs. But what is up with his cursin? It's kinda hypocritical. Other than that, its a good song.

I don't like this song. Why? Because I don't believe in God or Jesus and to have a guy who curses so much tell us about them is just plain wrong. The music and rhythm are good. But the lyrics SUCK. I've always liked Kanye's voice though. Jesus don't walk with me.

this song is horrible. jesus walks with kanye but kanye does not walk with jesus. he cusses and says stuff that is just not right. whoever thinks just because a song mentions jesus makes it good, is wrong. especially when they are talking about this song. and by the way rappers are not role models. they are famous rich people in the eyes of publicity and the majority of the time use racial slurs, sexual lyrics, cursing, and more. i give this song an overall horrible. scale of 1 to 10----0

What are you people talking about! I love this song. You people just dont understand it. So it curses. And yes thats the flaw of the song. But if you listen to it you will understand what he is saying. And to the person that says rappers arent ro-models they are. So you just need to shut up. All of you. They might not be ro-models to you but to millions of other people yes they are. He talks about loving Jesus. Whats wrong with that? Hes not allowed to or something. And to the other person that says we are fckheads dont be comin on here cursing just cuz people think diffrent about this song than you. So grow up. All of you.
