Promised (feat. MIKE)

Uh

Judged by people that don't care about me either way

Done with pleasing people who ain't aware when I feel that way

I just need to breathe for a second, need to pray

Tryna make sense of what I made, not the money

Every sentence, you can't touch 'em

But put a bunch together, make a record

I'd say I stayed neglected in the game, but I stayed invested

At least I maintained my message

And when I changed and I realized the pain I caused, confessed it

All my flaws is on my set list, every bar was direct with

All the travel days when I missed the city

Sittin on my saddle, onto Mississippi on my trustworthy steed

Or out in Europe smokin' some untrustworthy weed

The only way to stay high, how I prefer to be on the bus

Every day you wake, a new way to say hi, different currency

It's too early for all the urgency

My brain feels like been in and out of surgery

Open up the curtains, see everything the world conceived, left to me

Not no unnecessaries, only necessities

The bear ones have you cherishing your sense of Qi

Sets you free, just don't take a turn down the wrong street

But what's the loss cost me, nothing too costly

As long as I end up back on Mott Street

Know I got me a spicy chicken sandwich from my akhi, that's all I need

But after all I've seen I had to stop it

After all the years of being toxic

In every unity I got in, every opportunity he lost in

But either way community still got him

Everything you did for profit

I've hardly counted what I've got yet

This just was the only way I could be honest, uh

The only place I could keep my promise

Woke this morning had to pray that I could see beyond this

Show me somewhere where it's safe, that's why I needed Jah

The shit product of my race so it don't need a context

You need remind me of my age 'cause I just be alive

Sometimes I be obnoxious, with the money making game

How niggas think we locked in, while niggas think they sly

While niggas jumped to make a name and not to leave they options

While niggas be behind, I peeped them triggers be the same

When niggas weak or gossip, fast and eager type

I keep it running in the rain and when them streets is godless

Last our leaders died, I keep my mother in my prayers

And I believe she watching, don't believe the hype

I've seen my brothers in that phase and how that creature got them

Seen some brothers with some hay, I wish I'd leave their conscience

Hope they see the pride, them assumptions just a game, I know we synchronized

I'd rather be in front the frame than be the one besides it

Some shit you leave to God

Some shit I really had to say but I ain't mean to promise

It's hard to speak a lot

Yeah
