I Promise Lyrics
[Intro]
Keep ’em on top when it’s cold out
I call her pretty feet, she like to have her toes out
Got a thing for havin’ a tan line, she follow the sunshine
Everything I rap be real life, I don’t care for a punchline
Kinda small, but I be standin’ up like a giant when it’s crunch time
Yeah, yeah
Kinda small, but I be standin’ up like a giant when it’s crunch time
Yeah, mm
[Verse 1]
Hit up Eliot and get her some links we rock ’til infinity
I don’t care to have these women in my business, but I like your energy
Couple niggas prolly felt like fuck me ’cause they can’t fuck with me
You ain’t get money, you nothin’ unless you stick with me
Had a legendary run with heroin money all week
I stop servin’ and start rappin’, them other niggas can’t beat me
I’m traumatized, my hand on my fire whenever I leave, yeah
Used to think those bitches were for me, can’t get a peep out me
Lately I been focused, spendin’ overtime ’til I crash out
Straight drop, used to sell glass, now live in a glass house
You run from me, you ain’t a part of me, then you assed out
(You assed out)
[Chorus]
You don’t gotta pour your heart out
All you need is someone solid
I promise you’ll get over that shit (Mm)
I come straight out a war zone
I’m used to bein’ scarred up
Can’t lie though, that shit hurt a lil’ bit (Yeah)
You ain’t never get your closure
Now you out here movin’ hoping
How the hell we let it come to this shit?
You know I be doin’ my own thing
I’m fallin’ in the fast lane
Ain’t never needed a nigga a lil’ bit, yeah
[Verse 2]
You know I saved you, you wasn’t nothin’, I shouldn’t said that
You shouldn’t have made, I seen the signs, but I still played it crazy
I asked you out and had you shinin’, but you really shady
You brought it up a couple years ago, we still debatin’
We barely know each other names, how you gon’ keep your baby?
I can’t believe you ungrateful, I paid off your Mercedes
You came around a couple times, but we ain’t never dated
I know that you was fuckin’ broke, but ain’t never said shit
The whole world can go sour on me, I’m never changin’
Locked and loaded, I’m ready to go, one in the chamber
Don’t want no drama, take care of you, how you still complainin’?
Goin’ on this road by myself ’cause relationships get drainin’
Call me everything in the book, but you can’t say I’m solid
Once I block you, that mean I’m off you, don’t be callin’ cryin’
Doin’ better since I been off your dark cloud
You love to see me down, but you can see me smile
[Chorus]
You don’t gotta pour your heart out
All you need is someone solid
I promise you’ll get over that shit (Mm)
I come straight out a war zone
I’m used to bein’ scarred up
Can’t lie though, that shit hurt a lil’ bit (Yeah)
You ain’t never get your closure
Now you out here movin’ hoping
How the hell we let it come to this shit?
You know I be doin’ my own thing
I’m fallin’ in the fast lane
Ain’t never needed a nigga a lil’ bit, yeah
