[Intro]
TONK Wit Tha Gift, Gift, box full of light, light
Yung Shad, you killed this track

[Chorus: YNW Melly]
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)
On you (I promise that I'll wait for, I promise that I'll wait for)
I'll be waiting on you, woah (I promise that I'll wait for you, I promise that I'll wait for you)
I promise I'll be waiting on you

[Verse 1: TONK Wit Tha Gift]
Jesus, I know you 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 lawnmower
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

[Chorus: YNW Melly]
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)
On you (I promise that I'll wait for, I promise that I'll wait for)
I'll be waiting on you, woah (I promise that I'll wait for you, I promise that I'll wait for you)
I promise I'll be waiting on you

[Verse 2: TONK Wit Tha Gift]
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
'Member 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 is my history
Now my soul cryin' to the Lord, I got the victory
Was slippin' on razor blade alley, the alcohol river
Now I'm filled with the Holy Ghost and I make demons shiver

[Chorus: YNW Melly]
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)
On you (I promise that I'll wait for, I promise that I'll wait for)
I'll be waiting on you, woah (I promise that I'll wait for you, I promise that I'll wait for you)
I promise I'll be waiting on you

[Outro: TONK Wit Tha Gift]
They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as 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
