Lyrics Promised - K-Trap

Ocho, ocho

Wear my jewellery set, now they′re forcing friends
Couple men I grew with, probably won't talk again
Blame that bag I never had
Ever took an L and it made you decide to tell?
Well, we′re sorta glad
Swear, it hurts the most, but they'll never know
I just left the show, now it's back to stretchin′ O′s

Best of both, I know, but it's feelin′ much
Paragraph from shorty, said she ain't feelin′ loved
Read like quarter of the text and that quarter had me stressed
Keep my closest, I ain't walkin′ with the rest
Pray I'm blessed, tomorrow's the next test
Didn′t reply, she sent a next text
Sorry, boo, I got too much on my plate
And I got seven days with this thirty-six of lake
And I got loads of hate, that I can′t get away
But I was promised better days so I'm steady through the pain

See, I was promised better days but I′m still waitin'
Sometimes I feel like I′ve been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don't work, it′s back to basics
Kettle water, Borwicks and that cocaine
Thought I lost you but it's back, I'm okay
Levelled up, they said they miss my old ways
Thousand racks, I told the beggars "No change"

Told my nigga "No", even though I could
′Cause he fucked up too much times
And runs to me ′cause he knows I would
Forget the ice, how do you know I'm good?
Yeah, at times, might see me smile, deep down, it′s wild
I was on trial, Mum and bro in court, won't know the sort
Never had the drive, I slowly walked

Met the sword, then I made paper moves
Now the whole estate′s like "Take me through"
Ever had the press and blessings
'Cause you′re makin' so much progress?
Still, I ain't nowhere blown yet but don′t think they get it
How you want this bag before it′s been secured?
I can't tell you what′s it like 'cause I ain′t been before
Calm steps away, Pyrex and yay
And when them L's hit me hard, I just stretch away
And when there′ somethin' I'm unsure of, I just step away
′Cause I can′t block my blessings, I was promised better days

See, I was promised better days but I'm still waitin′
Sometimes I feel like I've been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don′t work, it's back to basics
Kettle water, Borwicks and that cocaine
Thought I lost you but it′s back, I'm okay
Levelled up, they said they miss my old ways
Thousand racks, I told the beggars "No change"

See, I was promised better days but I'm still waitin′
Sometimes I feel like I′ve been here for ages
Battle with the word they call "Patience"
And if rap don't work, it′s back to basics
Ocho, ocho
