which’ll probably take away from my ends
then i hope this take away from my sins
and bring the day that i’m dreamin’ about
next time i’m in the club everybody screamin’ out
jesus walk
god show me the way because the devil’s tryna break me down
jesus walk with me
the only thing that i pray is that my feet don’t fail me now
