[Intro]
Baby, if we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it together
That's right, you can do this

[Verse 1]
I've been gone for a minute, I know you can't take it
The Lords walkin with me so, I'm gonna make it
Girl dry your eyes, Baby be strong
Look at me I'm gonna really need ya to be strong
Girl for the both of us, and for our family
I can make it if you just stay beside me
Hold it together up until my returning
Light a candle, read a scripture for my journey
I know that heavens gonna make a way for me
So write a kiss on a letter send it to me
An I'mma think about ya everyday
But until the sun shine my way

[Hook]
Girl, I'mma need ya to believe in me
Girl, I'mma need ya to believe in me
Gil, while I'm gone just know
I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back
I'll be back for you
I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back
Wait on me and I'll come back to you

[Verse 2]
Ya so tough
Smile through this sh, and Baby walk with ya head up
Don't let em tell ya that’s the end of me (no no)
I'll be back just like the boomerang
You ain't really gotta worry bout nothing
I'm not a dummy, I stashed something (baby)
For you an me girl when I get out
And believe me I'm gonna get out
And I'm gon' take you straight out the hood
You gotta know this ain't forever babe
You gotta know we goin' make it to a better place
Until then I'll be thinkin' bout you everyday
'Til the sun shine my way

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Girl save ya strength you're gonna need it to be there for me
All odds against us and I hope you still believe in me
Cuz I believe in us you know I'm all about our destiny
And let no man take us under. Rise to our victory
Turn back the hand of time, reminisce the memories
Put yo hand in mine walk with me spiritually
In a minute of the storm or the pourin' rain

[Hook/Outro]
Girl, I'mma need ya to believe in me
Girl, I'mma need ya to believe in me (in me)
And whenever I'm gone just know
I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back
Girl I'll be back for you
Hey wait on me
Baby just wait on me
Girl I'mma need ya to believe
Believe in me hey
Whenever I'm gone just know
I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back
Oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back, oh, I'll be back
Just wait on me and I'll come back to you

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
