Kanye West's "Jesus Lord" taps into his ongoing message of spirituality. He begins with, "Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) / Now we've been through a lot of things / Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)," per Genius. West's song taps into a palpable loneliness and darkness. "Sittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'/ About all I've been through, I wish I was dreamin'/ Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons," West adds.
West seems particularly focused on mind-altering substances in "Jesus Lord." He raps, "But lately, I've been losin' all my deepest friends (Lord) / And lately, I've been swimmin' on the deepest end / It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there." He later adds, "And while I introduce the party, you say it's up there / Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions/ And everything that you do good, it just go unnoticed (Jesus)." As Genius notes, that latter line is tied to the criticism he often receives and how "a lot of the times, the 'wrong' he has done outweighs the good."
