"I'll Fly Away" + "Jesus Walks":

One glad morning
When this life is over
I'll fly away

Yo
We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism, but mostly we at war with ourselves

(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil try to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)

You know what the midwest is? Young and restless
Where restless ni**as might snatch your necklace
And next these ni**as might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these ni**as who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of Chi where death is
Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless
Try to catch it...it's kind of hard
Gettin' choked by 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? 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 momma used to say only Jesus could save us
Well momma I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone till November I got packs to move I hope

(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil try to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus walks)
And I don't think there's nothing 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 walks)
God show me the way because the devil try to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus walks)
And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong
(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)

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers
(Jesus walks for them)
To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here hell yeah
(Jesus walks for them)
Now hear ye, hear ye wanna 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 trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dawg radio needs this
They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus
The means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk about God my record 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 dreamin about
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out

(Jesus walks)
God show me the way because the devil try to break me down
(Jesus walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus walks)
And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walk with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now

This is such a great song choice, with a song that's so amazing on its own. Gunn! We love Gunn! We miss Gunn!

[minnow1212.livejournal.com]

That was really incredible.

[justhuman.livejournal.com]

My Gunn love overfloweth - this rocks!

[latxcvi.livejournal.com]

I *still* love it like *whoa*.

[radioreverie.livejournal.com]

That was fantastic!

[codeblue40.livejournal.com]

That...was pretty boss.

The only downside were the parts that referred to Kanye. But for what this video was, yeah...very cool.

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

You know this is the bestest thing ever, right?

I'm in love.

[georgiamae.livejournal.com]

Very cool vid. Very. Thank you for sharing!

[elke-tanzer.livejournal.com]

You know I adore you, right?

Thanks so much for making this available for download. Incredible, incredible vid.

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Fabulous vid! Great song choice, great selection of clips, and Gunn's character really shines through.

[askmehow.livejournal.com]

That was fantastic! Each clip cut to the lyrics and so appropriate for the lyrics. I fell in love with Gunn all over again.

[scrunchy.livejournal.com]

That's amazing. Really. Fantastic ... thank you for posting it.

(One of these days, I'll get the lj codes right, eh?)

[centricity.livejournal.com]

Here because you were highly reccommended by musesfool, and I've found that it's usually worth it to listen to her. Nod. Will watch when my sound card quits being tempermental and return. =)

[makd.livejournal.com]

For some reason, my computer is only picking up the audio; there isn't any picture. Is this vid compatible with windows' media player?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

You need the Xvid codec, which you can get here: http://www.koepi.org/

Also, it works with um. The VLC media player, which you can get here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Sweet. Via the flist ... there were some things in there I didn't even recognize. I need to have an Angel marathon or review or something. I loved the Wes/Gunn dynamic. Excellent job. The song hasn't grown on me completely, the full version, so you being able to draw me in w/ the clips and editing is a major kudos to you. Thanks for sharing!

[chaneen.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was just fabulous! Perfect song choice, wonderfully cut, just...wow. I'm impressed. Am definitely keeping this to watch again and again.

Here from recs by musesfool and latxcvi, btw.

[smonsterbite.livejournal.com]

Awesome. The images fit the lyrics, without being too literal.

Made me want to pull out my Angel DVDs, and revisit the good ol' days.

::sings along with Lorne::

[luluminion.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. Brilliant. What a gorgeous love letter to Gunn, which is exactly what he deserves.

[tripoli8.livejournal.com]

Hot damn. I haven't seen a vid that good in ages.

[wolfshark]

That was AMAZING

[smidgy06.livejournal.com]

Holy freaking good, Batman.

So well edited and put together and it made me *miss* Angel. Even the bits of Angel that I did not particularly care for.

Just. Wow.

Do you have other Angel or Buffy vids out there?

[cesario.livejournal.com]

God that was...incredible. Absolutely amazing. I feel like I *get* him now in a much more visceral way than I ever have before.

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

Yes, excellent vid, made me remember how much I loved Gunn.

[contrariwise.livejournal.com]

Wow. Came her via musesfool's rec. Now I just want to rewatch all of Angel and love on Gunn to infinity. Man. Really good.

[addictedkitten.livejournal.com]

Uh, wow. That was a perfect tribute to Gunn- just beautifully done all around.

(Also, Cordelia and Angel being Kathy Lee and Regis? Hee. Clever.)
