Promise

I made a promise to my mother that we'd make it out
Survival through the struggle, mummy showed me how
I made a promise to my daughter that I'd make her proud
And if anybody hurt her that I'd lay 'em down
I made a promise to my cousins that I'd stick around
I never seen them all the time because our mother's 'round
I made a promise to my sister I ain't going jail
I only met her last year but I love her still
I made a promise to the devil I ain't come in hell
No matter what you wanna offer, go and fuck yourself
I made a promise to the streets I'mma keep it real
And I ain't into breaking promises, be for real
I made a promise to my pops, may he rest in peace
I'mma do what's best for me, dad I got the recipe
I made a promise to my haters they can hate on me
Because while these haters hating
They're just building up a name for me

I made a promise to the devil I ain't coming home

I made a promise, I get my brother out the hood
Gotta get this paper right so all my fam be eating good
I made a promise, I have Ronnie's back for good
That's my right hand, and all you man are shook
I made a promise to my mum I wouldn't hit the can
So I do music and try and be a better man
I made a promise to myself I gotta be myself
I can't be nobody else, you better fuck yourself
I made a promise to my dargs I gotta bring it home
Can't forget man like Wesley, Paps, Jack and Jones
I made a promise to the roads, I gotta keep the street
So I gassed the popping off, if I think it's beef
I made a promise to my strap I wouldn't leave her side
If I lost that baby girl I couldn't live my life
I made a promise to my life I gotta keep it living
Nothing ain't stopping me on this cold mission

I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can
I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can
I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can
I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can

I made a promise to myself that I'd never change
Even though my name getting bigger man I'm still the same
I made a promise to my money I forget my beef
But it's hard to forget my beef when I ain't got no P's
I made a promise to my future that I'd treat it well
And I'd leave the past in the past I don't need to dwell
I made a promise to my bruddas sitting in the cell
That I'mma blow off rap and sign me a six figure deal
I promised A that I'd be rich when they let him free
I promised me, Joe Black and Squeaks run the streets
I promised every nights sleep that I'mma live my dreams
I promised I'mma drop it like the plague, I'mma kill the beat
I promised Ginger, Gin and Tommy that's my family tree
I promised Jada I'mma make the haters mad at me
I promised everyone that I'mma get my money up
Haters make me rich, I ain't mad I'm in love with ya'll

I made a promise to myself there's no going broke
Even if I lived on the street, I'd still have to cope
I made a promise when I see a man it's on sight
I'm being honest like, you ain't no top guy
I made a promise to my name man I'm never changing
Man's saying Squeaks fake you a bunch of haters
I made a promise to the world you're gonna hear my voice
Even if I never made it rapping, got another choice
I made a promise to Jones, 'cause he's always there
I made a promise to Manny Babes I always cared
I made a promise to the enemies I come prepared
I made a promise from the heart, I'm never scared
I made a promise I'mma bring my whole team in
A promise is a promise, I don't promise for no reason
I made a promise, I'm never gonna quit
Yeah my team making moves, they ain't stopping shit

I made a promise to the devil I ain't coming home
I made a promise to the devil I ain't coming home
I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can
I made a promise to my mother I wouldn't hit the can

Oh my heart, oh my heart
In this world of change
You keep turning me 'round again
