The Promise Lyrics

I wanna, I wanna

I wanna tell you come closer but that's just something I don't

Because I don't know if you know or if you wanna do it

I know you feel you rowing a boat

To stay afloat in the ocean of my emotions, but now I'm just swimming through it

I'm sorry about the shift in my movement

Now the gear is in drive and all the wheels are in unison

And the question in mind is "if I live, am I useful?"

As I race against time, I start to think about the things never proven

Like how I'd never turn my back on you again

I already did once and I lived my life without you, I swear to god that that shit sucked

Today's the day I think I've begun

To view this issue with some realistic specs and not my rose inspired stunnas on

Sometimes you wanna go alone and I don't wanna go along

My niggas fade the party for hoes,

I'd rather stay at home and kick it in the room on the phone

As of late I've been wondering if my idea is wrong

Don't wanna crowd you

Or make you feel guilty bout these niggas cause you're allowed to

Do what you wanna while you're single until you crown who

The one to settle down with, the one that makes you smile

To see them pearly whites, just know that I would walk a thousand miles,

Fly to the motherland, take off my shirt and swim across the Nile

And then I'll come to shore in Memphis, just not the one in the south

I've been flying out of Phoenix cause I don't fuck with a drought and let me say I don't

make promises with a sprinkle of doubt shorty

See all this shit I let my mind work out, all the numbers on the line work out

Let me show you: I spent 19 years without your love

19 years before I finally learned to write these fears

And at 20 I thought good pussy was a drug

At 21 I started tripping like on some fuck shit,

At 22 I started relearning how to function

Later that year I lost my pops and learned how that blunt hit

Turned 23 a nigga just wanna be better, and 23 days later I started writing this letter

A 23 page paper: what that shit feel like

I held your hand in Manhattan, is this shit real life?

Maybe not, but a nigga really trying not to do too much

But every single time my motherfucking phone light up, I think it's you

And now I'm here with something to prove,

I'm tryna live the platinum or diamond life like Sade Adu, shoot

I talk to God for some guidance and then he guides me

And hit up one of my guys for advice and they try to blind me

Fuck it I board a plane at her place is where you gon' find me

I'm stuck, it's more than a phase, man her face resides in my mind

See, don't mind me

I'm not the only mane that feels the same, I'm sure about it

But as I'm on my way to fame I feel too pure about it

As I was sitting on the porch and lighting bud,

I caught a buzz and finally said "a nigga falling in love again"

I called my niggas they was like "fuck!"
