1 . 개요[편집]

카니예 웨스트의 싱글이며 그의 데뷔 앨범 The College Dropout의 세번째 싱글로 2004년 3월 25일에 발매되었다.

카녜 웨스트의 대표곡들 중 하나로 롤링 스톤 선정 500대 명곡 273위에 랭크되었다. 대중적으로 성공한 세 번째 칸예 노래이며[1], 가사 또한 예수에 관한 종교적 가사를 금지하면서 마약, 섹스같은 퇴폐적인 가사를 허용하는 검열국에 대한 비판이라 이후의 가사와는 차이점이 보인다.

그리고 정통 붐뱁과 가스펠의 조화로 음악성도 높아, 현지에서 칸예의 대표곡을 꼽으라면 가장 먼저 나오는 노래들 중 하나다. 상업적으로 가장 성공한 2집의 Gold Digger [2] 3집의 Stronger, 4집의 Heartless와 함께 가장 자주 언급이 되며 특히 이 세 곡들은 빌보드 핫 100 1, 2위를 오간 대히트곡이다.

또한 칸예의 후기 작업물에서 보이는 종교적 색채를 미리 볼 수 있다는 점에서도 의미가 있는 곡이다.

3 . 가사[편집]

Jesus Walks

[Intro]
We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism
But most of all we at war with ourselves
[Chorus]
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
[Verse 1]
You know what the Midwest 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
I walk through the valley of the Chi where death 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, harass and arrest us
Sayin' "We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"
Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit? 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
[Chorus]
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryna 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
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryna 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
So long, so long
(Jesus, walk with me)
[Verse 2]
To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even the scrippers
(Jesus walks for them)
To the victims of welfare feel 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, dawg, radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, 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
[Chorus]
(Jesus, walk)
God show me the way because the Devil's tryna break me down
(Jesus, walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
