The Promise Lyrics

i got a pocket full of dreams and some spare change

this twenty dollars is the last money to my name

looking for the quickest way for me to numb the pain

so i twist one and treat it like it's novacane

one of these days i'ma tell you how i overcame

but for the moment i'm still getting through it

every new day brings a chance for improvement

if only i can keep from under the influence

but here i blow again, here i go again

trippin' out when i need to be focussing

opportunity knocked but i ain't show him in

sick and tired of living in a pinch… doberman

i'll sleep when i'm dead, time to get up

people counting on me so i gotta keep my head up

looking in the mirror at my greatest enemy

gotta make a choice. who's it gonna be, him or me?

she likes diamonds and gold so i promised her ice

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together

it's been so long, but let me tell ya things are bout to get better, yeah

i'm making (i'm making it)

yeah, i'm smiling but honestly i'm faking it

new day, same script, take a hit, take a sip

straight to the studio, make a hit

but in the meantime, in between time

guess it means i'm serving burger king fries

don't worry, i'ma be fine

i've been slept on for so long i'm feeling Nat King sized

never again will i break or bend

never will these blood suckers penetrate my skin

letting go of all of my past mistakes and sinsZ - The Promise - http://motolyrics.com/z/the-promise-lyrics.html

i'm a cinderella story in the making, dig?

instead of trying to figure out a route around it

i'ma take it head on and be a G about it

this here's my resurrection piece

may the old me rest in peace, peace

she likes diamonds and gold so i promised her ice

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together

it's been so long, but let me tell ya things are bout to get better, yeah

(repeat)

man i wish i was money making Mitch

in a fly whip with a fly honey dip

tipped off of something rich we were sipping on earlier

living the life they only dream about

looking at us like "why they let them heathens out?"

"why they gotta have all them overseas accounts?"

i was guaranteed a win before it even began

no doubt, that's straight from Jesus mouth

my season, looking for my seeds to sprout

words come to life when they leave my mouth

bust bust on the enemy of heave him south

get money in obscene amounts

i'm gonna make it, wait and see

you're gonna be so proud of me

yes i will, yes i will, better to it now or i never will

she likes diamonds and gold so i promised her ice

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together

it's been so long, but let me tell ya things are bout to get better, yeah

(repeat)
