Unbreakable Promises

(album: The Shadow In The Shade - 2022)

You up here
The only thing about it is just staying up here
Hmm, that's facts
Yeah, okay
Yeah

My and my brothers been fighting together, Klitschko
When I got some shit to address, I don't need no ZIP Code
Big goals, she said am I really this cold?
Huh, does Manu Ginóbili have a big nose?
Switch roles, I'm from the era where rappers wore big clothes
Woah, now I'm reaching for the throne, I might diss Hov
Still ain't get a plaque for "TLC" knowing it went gold
Head hit a cloud last time I stood up on my tip toes
Information from Birdman I never disclose
Crazy how I'm younger than niggas that call me big bro
This shit is wild, they glorifying industry niggas now
Ain't Ronald McDonald rich? So what? He still a clown
Yeah, I would never not like a nigga, then give a pound
And I'm still a stand-up nigga even while sitting down
Used to use my teeth to open quarter waters
Used to turn my head sideways while drinking faucet water

Can't believe I made it this far, no, really, facts
Never promised tomorrow, meant a lot to my dawgs
Gotta know I'm grateful we all living
All this pain in my heart, never sell my soul

I'll never learn what I won't teach
And life's a bitch, she say I slept with her
But you know she lying 'cause I don't sleep
I don't lease, ownership, execution
I'm over this resolution
New Years, where niggas set a goal and then never do shit
Bible in my room, Lord knows I don't ever use it
God gave me gifts, I'm just hoping I never lose 'em
Every time my mom prayed over my soul, I made better music
Can't lose when you mix the growth with the evolution
Raised in the poorest of living
Back when I used to steal my big brother clothes before I could fit 'em, uh
To this day, don't think he know that I did it, yeah
To this day, don't think he know that I miss him, yeah
Even when I ain't with him, he know I'm with him
Why would I want tickets to the Hawks game?
Could've brung a date, but I took my son
Shouldn't nothing come between [?] Savannah and wifey?
Siri I'm likely, seriously, brighten, word

Can't believe I made it this far, no, really, facts
Never promised tomorrow, meant a lot to my dawgs
Gotta know I'm grateful we all living
All this pain in my heart, never sell my soul (Ah-ah)

Rich everything, stocks to the cash (Uh-huh)
Kith everything, socks to the mask (Woo)
I was selling eggs before I met Ronnie Fieg (Haha)
Not the ones you scramble, the ones that make life a gamble (Yeah)
Weather breaking, jails let a couple of goons home (Welcome)
They only giving you flowers on top of your tombstone (Facts)
But that's only if you lace mine down
I figure fuck it, I'ma take mine now
Turn up soon as they wind down (Uh)
We was way beyond poor, now we stepping out with drip, and I'm [?]
[?], though we never had it right
But the love never changed 'cause it never had a price (Mmm)
Nah, we just never had a slice
But soon as we got a chance to taste it, we knew not to waste it (We knew)
Yeah, best way not to get your face hit, stick to the basics

Can't believe I made it this far, no, really, facts (Woo)
Never promised tomorrow, meant a lot to my dawgs
Gotta know I'm grateful we all living
All this pain in my heart, never sell my soul
