We at war, [B] we at war with terrorism, racism, but most of all, we at war with our sins.
[Gb] God [Ebm] show me the way because the devil's trying to break me down.
And [N] we're not moving on from [Bb] what's made [Ab] us.
[E] You [Bbm] know what the Midwest is?
Young and restless, and restless.
[B] Might snatch your necklace, the next day, might jack your [Bbm] laces.
Somebody tell me who Kanye West is?
[G] I walk through the valley [Ebm] of the shower, that is.
[Gm] Top floor, the view alone, I leave you breathless.
Try to [Ebm] catch it, it's kinda hard, getting [Bbm] choked by the text, yeah, yeah, [Ebm] and I check the message.
They be [Bbm] asking us questions, harassing and arresting us.
Saying we eat pieces [Ebm] of shit like you for breakfast, [Bb] huh?
Y'all eat pieces of shit?
What's [C] the basis?
[Fm] We ain't going nowhere but got [Ebm] suits and cases.
A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis.
My mama used to say only Jesus could save us.
Well, mama, I know I act a fool, but I'll be gone till November, I got packs to move on.
[Bbm] God show me the way because the [Ebm] devil's trying to break me down.
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now.
[Bb] [Ebm] And I don't think there's [Bb] nothing I can do now to right my wrongs.
I wanna talk to God, but I'm afraid cause he's over [Gb] so long.
God show me the way because the devil's trying to break me down.
[Ebm] The only [Gb] thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me [Ebm] now.
[Db] [Ebm] And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my [Abm] wrongs.
[Ebm] I wanna talk to [G] God, but I'm afraid cause he's [Eb] over so long.
So [Bb] long.
[Ebm]
[Gb] [Fm] To [Eb] the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even [Bbm] the scribbles.
To the victims of welfare, feel we living in hell here, hell yeah.
[B] And [G] I hear he, hear he, wanna [Bb] see me more [Gb] clearly.
I know he hear me when my feet get weary.
Cause we're the [Eb] almost nearly extinct.
[Gb] We rappers as role models, we rap we don't think.
I ain't here to argue about his facial [B] features.
[Bb] Or here to convert atheists into [Gb] believers.
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers, the way [Gm] catholic need a [B] reager, that's the way I need Jesus.
So [G] here go my single doll, [Ebm] Radio Niesta.
They say you can [Bb] rap about anything [B] except for Jesus.
That means [Gm] gun sex, live videotape.
But if I talk about God my record [Ebm] won't get played.
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 dreaming [Abm] about.
Next time I'm in the [Gb] club everybody screaming out.
God show me the way because the devil's trying to [Ebm] break me down.
The [B] only thing that I pray is
