I was wondering...what do you guys know about this guy? At the Grammy's a few months ago he sang, well rapped "Jesus Walks" for everyone, so I was excited, cuz I thot he was a Christian rapper, but I looked up his album online and it said, "edited"/"unedited" next to, not only the album, but that song! And there was the "N" word and like 10 other bad words in the song called "Jesus Walks". so- I was so confused! A Christian song w/ cusswords?!! Someone else told me they thouht he was big on God, but- wat? Here, I found the lyrics, read them, maybe you can figure this out...
Yo We at war We at war with terrosism, racism, and most of all we at war wit ourselves (Jesus Walks) God show me a way because the Devil's trying to break me down (Jesus Walks with me) with me with me with me [fades]
You know what the Midwest iz? young & Restless Where restless [BLEEP] might snatch yo necklace And next these [BLEEP] might jack yo Lexus Somebody tell these [BLEEP] who Kanye West iz I walk through the valley of the shadow of death iz Top floor, the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh! Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard Getting choked by the detectives yeah yeah now check the method They be asking us questions, harassin', arrest us Saying "We eat pieces of [BLEEP] like you for breakfast." Huh? Ya'll eat pieces of [BLEEP]? 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 till November I got packs to move, I Hope
(Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the Devil's tryna to break me down (Jesus Walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that me feet don't fail me now (Jesus Walks) And I don't think there is nothing I can do now ta, right my wrongs (Jesus Walks with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long
(Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the Devil's tryna to break me down (Jesus Walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that me 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. So Long! So Long...
To the hustlas, killas, murderas, drug dealas even da strippers (Jesus walks with them) To the victims of Welfare for we living in hell here BLEEP 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 Cuz 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 Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus So here go my single dawg 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 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 screamin out
(Jesus Walks) God show me the way because the devil's tryna break me down (Jesus Walks) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
I mean, it seems like a preety cool song, right? Or...? i'm all confused.
