Order, huh
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 tryin' to break me down
(Jesus walks with me, with me, with me, with me, with me)
You know what the Midwest is?
Young and Restless
Where restless niggas might snatch ya necklace
And next these niggas might jack ya Lexus
Somebody tell these niggas who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of Chi where death is
Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless
Try to catch it, it's kinda 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, y'all eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?
We ain't goin' 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
(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryin' to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now (I want Jesus)
(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
(I want Jesus)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryin' to break me down
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
I want to talk to God, but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long, 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 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 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 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, dawg, radio needs this
They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tape
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 dreaming '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, with me, with me)
The only thing that I pray is that me feet don't fail me now
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 tryin' to break me down
(Jesus walks with me, with me, with me, with me, with me)

i think it's time kanye prays to god for half a brain and some basic grammar and vocabulary skills
"the only thing that i pray is that ME feet don't fail me now" SHOULD BE "the only thing that i pray is that MY feet don't fail me now"
Wow, you have made yourself look stupid. Do you think Kanye would actually say 'me feet'? Thats a typing error by whoever posted these lyrics. The line is "the only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now".
If you had ever listened to this song then you would know that. So, the question arises, if you have never heard the song what the hell are you doing posting negative comments on it's lyrics???
This is my favourite song, and as I am a huge Kane West fan I can just laugh openly at everyone hating on him, especially the people commenting on these lyrics. I can TELL that most of you haven't heard enough of his songs, listened to his other lyrics and don't know enough about him to make a judgement about his music. Hell, most of you haven't even heard this song. You haven't got enough background information to know what you are talking about.
WWSD, you are completely pointless. If I wanted, I could go on some bands lyrics and comment about how the music I like is better, or deeper. "Now its time for you all to listen to Tool's Eulogy..." No its fucking not. I'm definately not going to listen to it now you have told me to. I think you must be the first dumb Tool fan I have ever met. Congratulations.
