PROMISES Lyrics

I made a promise to you, mama I can't lose

Tell me pick a girl, but you know I can never choose

Said Ill run the world, I'm the face of the youth

Since I was a kid, you know that I was the truth

I put my pain into these songs, I always did you wrong

Promised you a house, cause at the top you belong

Running from my problems, cause all my money long

I wanna give you the world before my world is gone

Yeah, pouring purple rain

Numbing myself so I can't feel the pain

I did it because all these girls are the same

Gave them a chance cause I thought they could change

Got me wasting my time, money on my mind

Need myself a diamond, I know that they're hard to find

Leave me alone, stop calling my phone

They wanna use my name, but I'm better on my own

Mama always said that I'd make it

Now it's time to show why I made it

Mama always said that I'd make it

Now it's time to show why I made it

This my time, I know I'ma shine

Came from nothing, now there's nothing on my mind

Had to make you proud before I look up at the sky

This my time, yeah, this my time

I made a promise to you, mama I can't lose

Told me pick a girl, but you know I can never choose

Said Ill run the world, I'm the face of the youth

Since I was a kid, you know that I was the truth

I put my pain into these songs, I always did you wrong

Promised you a house, cause at the top you belong

Running from my problems, cause all my money long

I wanna give you the world before my world is gone
