Текст песни Broken Promise - Rugged Man

I remember that was last year
When you were in your family house
When we moved in coming from the east to the south
Where I first laid my head in LAG
The thought of you still make tears choke my chest
In early eighties I was just a baby
But your face is still clear
Cos I used to see you and David
Coming back from school was cool
You thought me how to put a fight
Even if it is in black and blue
George I feel you
Cos part of you is still with me
My favourite cousin remember the first time you with me
You opened up a lesson for little kids and I was one of them
You did things differently
You taught me just like all of them
The next thing I heard
He was going to America
As a kid I couldn't understand what was wrong with Africa
If I know what will happen I would have held you back
But now you're gone I can't get you back

You promised me
That you would always be here
You promised me
That you was goin' take care
You promised
That you would come back here
But now you're gone
Now you're no where near
You promised me
That you was goin' watch me grow
You promised me
That you was goin' see me blow
You promised me
But death have to make you go
You promised me
You promised me

Remember when you
You did what you have to do and you handled your bit
They scratched your face on the road during the scoff the struggle
You went into trouble
That's carnal man you was
I respected you my bigger bros
A couple of years later you came back with gist
After
That you went back and started a mission
When I remember the stuff they told me that happened to you
The next thing I heard you was dead
I heard of how you bled
I couldn't get the picture in my head
You was the first person close to me to die
I didn't cry
All I asked was why
One up but death cos it's cold hand street
You was. I will still keep you

You promised me
That you would always be here
You promised me
That you was goin' take care
You promised
That you would come back here
But now you're gone
Now you're no where near
You promised me
That you was goin' watch me grow
You promised me
That you was goin' see me blow
You promised me
But death have to make you go
You promised me
You promised me

Lot of time I asked myself
Why death had to take you
If it was meant to be
Why did God create you
If it was only for him to take you with him
It was a good start to have
Sometimes it hurts so bad that I wish I could do it all
So I could turn back the hand of time and bring you back
Bring life to your lung and what you
You were my own super star
My own super hero
My personal
My own don tto
I look up to you cos the path you set was good
You left at the time the hood was all good
That was all messed up
Fence is everywhere
Every house is like a prison
Every rich nigga was scared
One minute you are chilling
The next minute you are running from cop and robbers and some murdef...
