Promises

I know I made promises and I broken them sometimes
But I mean what I meant when I say what I said what I said
I said it all
I need to ask you one question
Am I okay

Cause I don't even remember what it feels like
Cause it's been too long
I got used to feeling like this
I got used to feeling like this for so long
Been on my own and now it feels so wrong
But I guess I know
I gotta be able to love myself
Before I even think of loving someone else

Look at my face yeah
I been alone
I been asleep all in this cave yeah
Nothing else to do
Nothing else to see
Nothing else to be yeah
Matter of fact in case that I'm gone in the morning
Remember I told you I'm not your opponent
When I'm gone they'll be devoted

When I'm gone they'll be the biggest fans
Everybody pocket watching till my pockets in they hands
Uh
Ima put a wrench a socket in they plans
Said I wouldn't but here I stand
Staring at the moon again

I know I made promises and I broken them sometimes
But I mean what I meant when I say what I said what I said
I said it all
I need to ask you one question
Am I okay

Tried to put seeds in place
Took a leap of faith
Grabbed that leaf of paper
And freed my brain
Jotted my thoughts down
If you would've said
I would be this great
You would be insane
To me I wasn't even tryna
Reach my limit
Or release a tape
Stay in school
You should keep it safe
Stay on that path
You should be complacent
The reaper stay
Just a block away
Might as well call him now
If you chasing the fame

No promises
No I can't make no promises
No I can't make no promises
No no
I can't make no promises no more
I can't make no promises no more
I can't make no promises no more
I can't make no promises no more
I can't make no promises no more
Ah

I won't make no promises and that's a fact
Broke a thousand promises to be exact
But this my last

I know I made promises and I broken them sometimes
But I mean what I meant when I say what I said what I said
I said it all
I need to ask you one question
Am I okay

Way before Covid
I was into masks
I was tryna blend in
Tryna get past
Wasn't tryna get noticed
Couldn't hold back
Wanted to make people smile
Tried to make em laugh
I had brains
But I acted like I didn't
Was scared of peoples opinions
Wasn't cool to be to smart
Failed classes
Never wore my glasses
I showed up with the answers
That nobody asked
Mom she was worried
That I wouldn't last
Growing up in a hurry
Going downhill fast
That I'd end up in drugs
Or in somebody's gang
I was chasing the fame
Didn't know who to blame
But fuck all the fame
Fuck the money
And fuck the restraints
I do this for the love of the game
When I die they forget my face
But they'll always remember the name
And that's a promise
