Don't Wait
Hezekiah Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frontin' like a baller
Makin' people think you all that
When you know it's not like that
But now the voice in your head gets thick
And you never heard it sound like this
Telling you to try to make haste
Cause your soul's at stake
You need to make up your mind don't wait
You seein' the signs don't wait
Why you takin' your time don't wait
Tomorrow's not promised don't wait
You're already prayin' to God don't wait
So why you makin' it hard don't wait
Just take one step And let 'em in your life
People messin with your mailbox
Got the whole world on lock lock
You now seeing what you lack lack
Because we're under attack (tack)
Now you wanna get your life on track
Don't let nobody hold you back
All you gotta do is pray
Tell 'em that you can't wait another day
Tell me how you're really gonna live
Without the guidance and support
That he gives but God is the ruler and
Still much in control
The lyrics to "Don't Wait" by Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Choir speak to the urgency of taking action and making a decision in one's life. The song addresses individuals who may be portraying a façade of success and wealth, pretending to be something they are not. The singer points out that deep down, they know that this image is not genuine.
The voice in their head becomes louder and more insistent, urging them to make a change and not delay any longer. They are reminded that their soul is at stake and they should not waste any more time. It emphasizes the need to make up their mind, to recognize the signs and not delay any longer in taking action.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that external forces may be interfering with their life and holding them back. People may be negatively influencing them or creating obstacles. However, they are encouraged not to let these factors deter them and to instead lean on prayer and faith to overcome these challenges.

Why you ridin' in your car
Why are you pretending to be successful and important in your car?
Frontin' like a baller
Acting like you have a lot of money and success
Makin' people think you all that
Making others believe you are superior and important
When you know it's not like that
When deep down you know it's not true
But now the voice in your head gets thick
But now your inner voice becomes stronger and more prominent
And you never heard it sound like this
And you have never heard it speaking in such a powerful way
Telling you to try to make haste
Urging you to act quickly
Cause your soul's at stake
Because your eternal salvation is in danger
Better move don't wait
It's better to take action immediately rather than delaying
You need to make up your mind don't wait
You should make a decision without procrastination
You seein' the signs don't wait
You are witnessing signs and indications, don't ignore them
Why you takin' your time don't wait
Why are you wasting time and delaying your actions
Tomorrow's not promised don't wait
The future is uncertain, don't delay your important choices
You're already prayin' to God don't wait

So why you makin' it hard don't wait
So why are you making it difficult for yourself, don't postpone
Just take one step And let 'em in your life
Just take a single action and allow God to enter your life
People messin with your mailbox
People interfering and causing trouble in your life
Got the whole world on lock lock
Feeling like the whole world is against you and controlling you
You now seeing what you lack lack
Now you are realizing what you are missing or lacking
Because we're under attack (tack)
Because we are experiencing challenges and spiritual warfare
Now you wanna get your life on track
Now you desire to align your life with God's will
Don't let nobody hold you back
Don't allow anyone to hinder your progress
All you gotta do is pray
All you need to do is communicate with God through prayer
Tell 'em that you can't wait another day
Tell God that you cannot delay any longer
Tell me how you're really gonna live
Explain to me how you plan to truly live your life
Without the guidance and support
Without the direction and assistance
That he gives but God is the ruler and
That God provides because He is the ultimate authority and
Still much in control
Still fully in charge and in command
