Promise

Promise of you
The promise of you
The promise of you

Look in the mirror like, "Damn, my nigga, you done made it"
Was one of them youth in America dealin' with euthanasia
Go pick up a knife and they willin' to slice back when I'm mutilated
Ironically, the prison taught me how to use a razor
Runnin' around with a Ruger ready to rip shots through a hater
Assumed that I'm nothin', validation of yours accumulated
I keep all three of my eyes peeled just like a few potatoes
'Cause niggas don't want me on the top like I'm the numerator
I don't really wanna lose my faith
But I don't even know who to pray to
In the trenches, mind is on the business, watch me move like Vegas
Smokin' hella zooted, hella booze and I won't use a chaser
Who can take the time to let me bloom and then boom, I'm famous
They can tell by every move I'm makin'
, Good deals I choose to make 'em
Cross my heart like Jesus, but people look at you like Satan
They despise you if you rich, and homie, you got nathan
This world is over, let it go, but who's debatin'?
A fucked up mood can make 'em tug guns and shoot the place up
And afterwards killed himself just 'cause a few occasions
Shit, I ain't never had no trust fund for the loot I'm makin'
So don't look at me fucked up when I do vacations
Mental health help me make it, blood, it's true I'm bracin'
From mental wards to jail cells to music makin'
Gotta kill what's toxic, homie, and go shoot the agents
And keep your head up while you maneuver through the matrix
Brain

A beautiful flower, just hasn't bloomed
Judgin' the surface, but what's growin' inside?
A beautiful flower, just hasn't bloomed

Imagine
Twenty men up at the stage, everybody grabbin'
Fill your pussy with some muddy water
Treat your body like it's trash and
Make you feel ashamed, pay you a body
You know me hate it with a passion
Remind you when you got my last and maybe
It's a temper, ain't nobody laughin'
Quit reactin', the way they want you to
Do, they got you chewin' up in a vandal
Used to talk about it, now you look up in
The mirror, I'll be damned if that's commando
Killin' what you love, you give a motherfuck
And always get your eggs up in a scramble
If you continue this way, I'ma have to spray
And get to killin' niggas like I'm Rambo
Load the ammo, you don't wanna live, but what
About your kids? You want to fuck it all
Came up in the game when everybody had
A hand, but you ain't got no Butterball
All the kids was goin' up for seconds
Fillin' up and you ain't gettin' none at all
They swingin' on swings, playin' on a
Monkey bar 'til you ain't havin' fun at all
Promise if you really hear me, did you really hear me?
I don't wanna be another one to end up in a body
Bag and disappear up off the planet like I'm nothin'
There is somethin' in me that's so beautiful and brilliant
Something you too, do not be a fool
Playin' by the rules, that would be a tool, not up in discussion
Repercussions got you thinkin' shit I
Shoulda knew it, drinkin' on the fluid
Everybody tell me I'm a piece of shit
But they only know me by face though
Never said a motherfuckin' word to you
Not a verb, I prefer you get served
All up in a nigga nerve, kick me to the curb with no queso
Not a peso in my pocket, ain't nobody
In the world that got some love for me
Everybody wishin' I'ma die and only see a nigga for the bad guy
Maybe they are right, maybe I ain't
Nothin' but some shit up in the mud
Or maybe I just need to sip up on this
Drink and start realizin' that I'm a

A beautiful flower, just hasn't bloomed
Judgin' the surface, but what's growin' inside?
A beautiful flower, just hasn't bloomed
Judgin' the surface, but what's growin' inside?
