I promise
|
|
I give you the truth (uh Jin)
|
This song is dedicated, to everybody that stays true to themselves
|
Cause at the end of the day, that's all we've got, true story
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
|
I give you the truth, that's no secret
|
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
|
The truth is I don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying
|
I'd be lying if I were to sit here and tell that I am
|
In control know where I'm going then again
|
The problem is where I'm going no one has ever been
|
Nobody ever came and did it quite like Jin
|
See I can do it like this with or without a pen
|
This shit is real, it can never be pretend
|
It's getting harder to figure out who's enemy or friend
|
And ever since, I decided that I should
|
Step into the industry I told myself that I would
|
Never forget my roots and always to remember
|
That they don't understand you so they won't work with your agenda
|
And every time I got called a chink I didn't blink
|
I just said to myself think Jin think
|
It's gotta be a better way to overcome the devil
|
I promised to myself I'd never surcome to their level
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
All I got in this world is my word and I promise
|
I will never break it hey I'm being honest
|
I give you the truth, that's no secret
|
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
|
I'm speaking on behalf of anybody that has ever told somebody
|
Things are wrong but I intend to make them better
|
Never make a promise if you don't intend to keep it
|
Cause the person that you make the promise to will always peep it
|
You reap it, you sow it, you know it
|
You always see yourself to stand by your word and always uphold it
|
Like a marriage through sickness and through health
|
For richer or for poorer never love nobody else
|
In holy matrimony but yo you know that's phony
|
If partners ain't committed it just makes the act unholy
|
Or when parents tell their kids that they love 'em
|
But they're never around to kiss them hold them or hug 'em
|
Too busy out thuggin' or maybe out clubbin'
|
It's never too late you thought it was but it wasn't
|
So hold your child and look them in the eyes and promise them
|
That you'd never ever walk out of their lives
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
All I got in this world is my word and I promise
|
I will never break it hey I'm being honest
|
I give you the truth, that's no secret
|
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
|
I never let the fame hit to my brains I promise I promise
|
And when I'm gone ya'll remember the name I promise I promise
|
I came here to share my joy and my pain I promise I promise
|
After this the game will never be the same I promise I promise
|
We promise never to forget the innocent lives
|
The victims of 9/11 the children, husbands and wives
|
The soldiers that died, that should've survived
|
To all the mothers that lost one we hear your cries
|
The government lies, it's written in the skies
|
I know it all you gotta do is look into their eyes
|
Call the gardener and tell him it's lights out
|
And promise to never have no bushes by the White House
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
All I got in this world is my word and I promise
|
I will never break it hey I'm being honest
|
I give you the truth, that's no secret
|
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
|
I promise, I promise
|
I promise, I promise
|
I promise, I promise
|
I promise, I promise
|
