Lyrics My Promise - Wisdom In Chains

My Promise

I don’t wanna live in a world where I can’t keep my children safe
Sometimes Ii lie awake in the dark cause I can’t stop thinking about it
I’m surround by lunatics and racists always trying to test me.
Trying to test
my patience
I know how hard this life can be.
It can be lot harder that it' was for me
What’s the point in trying?
Is there and point in trying if you really can’t
change a thing?
When I take a look at life I got the answer seems quite clear to me
I don’t wanna live if I can’t be with the people I love and the friends I’ve
made
So let it be known if I die today y’all mean the world to me
If I die today did I say all the things I had to say?
If I die today how will the world remember me?
If I die today to all my friends and family
If I die today please understand why I say
That I don’t wanna live, not here
I’m not ashamed.
This is who I am
My heart on my sleeve and blood on my hands
My youth is over and I had my fun
But now I gotta live for my little ones
Until I’m gone I’ll do whatever I can
I swear it over and over and over again
Fuck you if you don’t understand
Too many of my homeys died for no reasons
Those days are over and I miss my friends
So I promised I would die to protect my fam.
