Common - Jesus Walks Remix Version 2 lyrics

[Ma$e] This song right here changed my life... come on, come on! [Kanye West] God show me the way, now the devil can't break me down [Verse 1: Common] Open your eyes, there's smoke in the skies The Beast is holdin' a lies Everywhere we move, motion denied Emotion derived from posters of pride Of African, cultures and tribes Who live when we suppose they die Laugh when we suppose they cry The pain we holding inside Cause all we really know is survive Use that to remember we're kings That's why we so addicted to diamonds and rings And cutless supremes Seen Diana Ross remember that my sisters is queens The Lord is coming -- for now, he visit in dreams For every mission it seems impossible Speak to the gospel to remind me what God can do When it's not logical To those in hospitals and prisons Low-income living For them I say a prayer keep giving Learning to receive My heart is burnin' to achieve Even when it's hard to breathe, I still believe that [Hook: Kanye West] God show me the way, now the devil can't break me down The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now And now I think there is something that I can say now that'll right my wrongs I finally talked to God, I ain't afraid cause His love is so strong [Verse 2: Kanye West] Jesus walk with me, he walk with the sinners cause I know I am But I ain't no loser, I'm a winner and I know I can Overcome the devil for he get the best of me My daddy always said G-O-D gon' have tests for me Illegally they told me to lie when they question me But God sent an angel that said the truth will set you free So in the midst of getting sued for more than my deal I admitted I fell asleep at the wheel Cause I realized I could've died, he saved me Every single hit that got played he gave me People ask me "Do you read your Bible?" "It could help out when you need revival" There's something about this beat that get me tranquilized And when I play it at my shows I feel sanctified And he give me direction when I can't decide He is alive! How could you tell me that he ain't when I said [Hook: Kanye West] [Verse 3: Ma$e] Before you take my name, take my fame While you at it take my shame Take my flaws, take my blame? Feel my dirt, conceal my hurt See my bruise, do this and you will walk in my shoes You wasn't there when I was in deep thought When I had two choice: k** him, or either leave New York But I'm a truth teller, that's why I say what I'm saying And the only thing the radio is playing Is because you be paying It ain't about who really hot no more Beasts will knock no more So who cares who flop no more? I realize that most labels pay you for lies And only law dudes can disguise That your favorite artist (shhh) I know you hear that (huh?) You wanna fear that? (what?) Your worst dream is that you was gonna hear that Icon to rap is like John the Baptist Prepared the way for what I came to say today They deceived us, having thinking Jesus Really didn't need us, when He loved the old days He loved them boys in the hallway up in Broadway Even those who be here for dope, every four days To the strippers in broad day up in Norway To the Detroit player gators in Marbres With me, it's not just bars of music I walk with God, I got the scars to prove it [Kanye West] God show me the way, now the devil can't break me down The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now [Outro: Ma$e] Everybody out there Just lift your hands right now Just say this with me Father, I thank you For forgiving me of everything I've ever done For Jesus walking with me For dying for me Raising for me And all my sins have been forgiven I'm a changed man I'm healed, I'm delivered, I'm rich And it's all because of him Now walk with me Walk with me, walk, walk, walk with me Walk with me
