Controversial rap star Kanye West has been on the headlines lately for his relationship with reality star Kim Kardashian but despite all of that he has been very vocal about his faith in Jesuschrist.
Kanye was raised in a good middle class home, his father was a black panther and later a christian counselor and his mother a professor at Atlanta University. His first album “College dropout” was an attestment that even though education was very important to his family it was not needed for all careers and music was one of them.
The hit single ‘Jesus Walks’ went to reach the top 20 charts on Billboard and give him record breaking success.
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog 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?
Ever since the release of the single the rapper has been linked to everything from Illuminati to devil worshipper from his participation to the hit song devil in a new dress He has been in the headlines for controversial statements like saying Bush doesn’t care about black people after hurricane Katrina and interrupting Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards in 2009. He is very close to rapper Jay-Z and Beyonce going on tour with them and getting involved in philanthropy work around the world.
Kanye has been in the headlines lately for his relationship to reality star Kim Kardashian and just had a baby earlier this year.
It is said that he is one of the greatest rappers who ever lived, let us pray the Lord guide his path and despite all of the controversy use him as a vessel to reach many souls in His time.

Jesus Walks Lyrics
“Jesus Walks”
We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me) with me, with me, with me [fades]You know what the Midwest is?
Young & 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 shadow of death is
Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It’s kinda hard hard
Getting choked by the 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? Yall eat pieces of shit? What’s the basis?
We ain’t going nowhere but got suits and cases
A truck full of crap 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 ’til November I got packs to move I Hope[Hook x2]
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my 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 longTo 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 are 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 dog 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 let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I’m dreaming about
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)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don’t fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don’t thing there’s nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me… fades)
I want to talk to God but I’m afraid because we ain’t spoke in so long
