YNW Melly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
Your rejoicement to my soul
It feeds it just like oxygen
Can you hear me father?
Can you please send me some signs?
I've been goin' through some things
There's been a lot on my mind
Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
And I will keep on praying
And I promise I'll be waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
God I promise that I'm waitin' on you, you

I promise that I'm waitin' on you
(I promise that I'm waitin') on you
(I promise that I'll wait for you) on you
I'll be waitin' on you, whoa
Promise I'll be waitin' on you

Jesus, hear me when I pray, so I'ma keep prayin'
Had to turn my back on the Devil, I couldn't keep playin'
I'm tryna make it to Heaven, and I know I'ma make it
But I gotta watch out for my soul, Lucifer tryna take it
Snakes is creepin' in the grass, I got my lawn mower
Sometimes I'm ready to die and go to Heaven, the Lord know
I just want peace in my mind, body and my soul
And in the end, I just wanna walk the streets of gold

Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
Your rejoicement to my soul
It feeds it just like oxygen
Can you hear me father?
Can you please send me some signs?
I've been goin' through some things
There's been a lot on my mind
Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
And I will keep on praying
And I promise I'll be waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
God I promise that I'm waitin' on you, you

I promise that I'm waitin' on you
(I promise that I'm waitin') on you
(I promise that I'll wait for you) on you
I'll be waitin' on you, whoa
Promise I'll be waitin' on you

I don't write rhymes, I grab the pen and let my soul talk
Walkin' with Jesus, he saved my soul, this a soul walk
Remember when the only thing I used to do was sell drugs
Now my soul cryin' to the Lord, that's the real plug
Thuggin' and druggin' and stealin' cars, it's my history
Now my soul cryin' to the Lord, I got the victory
Was slippin' on razor blade alley, The alcohol river
Now I feel wit' the Holy Ghost, and I make demons shiver

Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
Your rejoicement to my soul
It feeds it just like oxygen
Can you hear me father?
Can you please send me some signs?
I've been goin' through some things
There's been a lot on my mind
Can you hear me Jesus?
I need to hear your voice again
And I will keep on praying
And I promise I'll be waitin' on you
Waitin' on you
God I promise that I'm waitin' on you, you

I promise that I'm waitin' on you
(I promise that I'm waitin') on you
(I promise that I'll wait for you) on you
I'll be waitin' on you, whoa
Promise I'll be waitin' on you

They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings like eagles
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
Lord no matter what it take, no matter how long it take




I promise I'll be waiting for you, Jesus
I promise Lord, no matter what it take
