John Legend - Jesus Walks lyrics

[Inaudible] Pom pom pom pom pom pom pom Yo Pom pom pom pom pom pom pom [Intro] We at war We at war with terrorism, racism But most of all we at war with ourselves [Hook] (Jesus walk) God show me the way because the Devil tryna break me down (Jesus walk with me) yeah [Verse 1] You know what the Midwest is? Young and restless Where restless (n***as) might snatch your necklace And next these (n***as) might jack your Lexus Somebody tell these (n***as) who Kanye West is I walk through the valley of the Chi where d**h 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, yeah, now check the method They be askin' us questions, hara** and arrest us Sayin' "We eat pieces of sh** like you for breakfast" Huh? Y'all eat pieces of sh**? 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 [Hook] (Jesus walk) God show me the way because the Devil's trying to break me down (Jesus walk with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now (Jesus walk) And I don't think there's nothin' I can 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 (I want Jesus) God show me the way because the Devil's trying to break me down (Oh Jesus) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now (?) And I don't think there's nothin' I can do now to right my wrongs (?) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid cause We ain't spoke in so long, so long So long (Jesus walk with me, with me, with me, with me) [Verse 2] Oh To the hustlers, k**ers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers (Jesus walks for them) To the victims of welfare for we livin' in Hell here, hell yeah (Jesus walks for 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 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 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, s**, lies, videotape But if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh? Well if this take away from my spins Which'll probably take away from my ends Then I hope this take away from my sins And bring the day that I'm dreamin' about Next time I'm in the club, everybody screamin' out [Hook] (Jesus walk) God show me the way because the Devil's Trying to break me down (Jesus walk with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
