| This song is dedicated, to everybody that stays true to themselves
|
| Cause at the end of the day, that’s all we’ve got, true story
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| The truth is I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying
|
| I’d be lying if I were to sit here and tell that I am
|
| In control know where I’m going then again
|
| The problem is where I’m going no one has ever been
|
| Nobody ever came and did it quite like Jin
|
| See I can do it like this with or without a pen
|
| This shit is real, it can never be pretend
|
| It’s getting harder to figure out who’s enemy or friend
|
| And ever since, I decided that I should
|
| Step into the industry I told myself that I would
|
| Never forget my roots and always to remember |
| That they don’t understand you so they won’t work with your agenda
|
| And every time I got called a chink I didn’t blink
|
| I just said to myself think Jin think
|
| It’s gotta be a better way to overcome the devil
|
| I promised to myself I’d never surcome to their level
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| I’m speaking on behalf of anybody that has ever told somebody
|
| Things are wrong but I intend to make them better
|
| Never make a promise if you don’t intend to keep it
|
| Cause the person that you make the promise to will always peep it
|
| You reap it, you sow it, you know it
|
| You always see yourself to stand by your word and always uphold it
|
| Like a marriage through sickness and through health |
| For richer or for poorer never love nobody else
|
| In holy matrimony but yo you know that’s phony
|
| If partners ain’t committed it just makes the act unholy
|
| Or when parents tell their kids that they love 'em
|
| But they’re never around to kiss them hold them or hug 'em
|
| Too busy out thugging or maybe out clubbing
|
| It’s never too late you thought it was but it wasn’t
|
| So hold your child and look them in the eyes and promise them
|
| That you’d never ever walk out of their lives
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| I never let the fame hit to my brains I promise I promise
|
| And when I’m gone y’all remember the name I promise I promise
|
| I came here to share my joy and my pain I promise I promise |
| After this the game will never be the same I promise I promise
|
| We promise never to forget the innocent lives
|
| The victims of 9/11 the children, husbands and wives
|
| The soldiers that died, that should’ve survived
|
| To all the mothers that lost one we hear your cries
|
| The government lies, it’s written in the skies
|
| I know it all you gotta do is look into their eyes
|
| Call the gardener and tell him it’s lights out
|
| And promise to never have no bushes by the White House
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| All I got in this world, is my word and I promise
|
| I will never break it, hey I’m being honest
|
| I give you the truth, that’s no secret
|
| That’s a promise and I promise I intend to keep it
|
| I promise, I promise
|
| I promise, I promise
|
| I promise, I promise
|
| I promise, I promise |
