Promises Lyrics

This is the promise to me that I'll never go back cause I know what I know

Witnessing dealings the race for the chicken will have you surrounded by crows

I don't compete with my bros

I gotta reach all my goals

Niggaz don't know how I'm really go play it Cuz they never had the controls

Tell me again

I been gone in the wind

Contemplating my role in a life full a sin

Momma done told me the power within

But I gotta admit how the world make you bend

Shit getting stoic

I feel the tin man cause I do not fit in the space that I'm in

Swerving the gremlins to know that I'm gifted

Is seeing the presence that's deep in my skin

Baby you know that I sleep on it

Got a tell in my eyes and I weep on it

It's a voice in my soul saying keep going

And I flow on a beat like a fleet on it

Got my feet on em

The shit that I speak glowing

Cold heart like it's Keith on it

He a dog but he never got fleas on em

And he grinding as long as a leaf blowing

And I promise I keeping it G

Cause this journey ain't made for the weak

What's a win without any defeats

All the hate I just keep the receipts

With this message I'm making it clear

Ain't no mercy that's coming from me

Have some angels that's guarding my ears

Give me wisdom for shit that I see

All the pressure of me okay

Can't let a nigga get in my way

If you ever try to play in my face

You gone need more than your faith

Fuck all the waiting when it's for the taking

If it ain't no motion then I make it shake

Nigga so fly I been up in the sky for so long

I just hope that my wings do not break

Know I'm greater than these niggaz but I'm modest

I'm authentic keep it real I'm way too honest

Ready for the game no matter how they call it

Don't you swear to me if you can't keep your promise

Know I'm greater than these niggaz but I'm modest

I'm authentic keep it real I'm way too honest baby

Ready for the game no matter how they call it

Don't you swear to me if you can't keep your promises

If you can't keep your promise

If you can't keep your promises

If you can't keep your promise

If you can't keep your

Word

See this life can be seen as a blur

And you freezing if you don't got fur

Ain't no telling what you gotta stir

Know this flight that I'm on got it's turbulence

This some shit you can never rehearse

Every scar that you getting permanent

But the healing for me in a verse

There ain't no guarantees

Did dirt

Hope it's good that heavens sees

If niggaz talking I let it be

Put all my focus on legacy

I gotta take all my credit

When people just want me beheaded instead of free

Told em I'll never forget it

I'm built off of merit

This shit is my destiny

Know I'm greater than these niggaz but I'm modest

I'm authentic keep it real I'm way too honest

Ready for the game no matter how they call it

Don't you swear to me if you can't keep your promise

Know I'm greater than these niggaz but I'm modest

I'm authentic keep it real I'm way too honest baby

Ready for the game no matter how they call it

Don't you swear to me if you can't keep your promises

If you can't keep your promise

If you can't keep your promises

If you can't keep your promise

If you can't keep your promises
