I Promise

Yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a void that needs to be filled inside this marketplace
You could die in my parkin' space
My mom want me to blow up and house them
My father want me to bring product out without Slim

And prove them wrong
They paid my bills, I'm on your heels
I'm for real, my shoes is long to feed my son
I will leave you leakin' in the street

I will heat you to kingdom come
Uh, the king will come
Wait till you gone in place of a angel
Appear to take you home
The beard on the face is gone

These bullets is straight razors, blazin' you, case in point
Amaze the rap game, make 'em point
Walk inside of the house of the illest and case the joint
And take whatever I want out of it
Now that I'm wise, my future rides on it
It's time for triumph

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will support my family, slash you
(Pray)
I promise I will pray every day, I will ask you

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will stop the killin', I will change
(Pray)
I promise - I will put in this flow, what you put in my soul

The whole misconception with me
The only thing people think
That I'm arrogant when they don't know me
That's what it was

If I wasn't a real nigga the shit would not bother me
But it does, the shit is not fair
Just picture yourself lookin' in the mirror
Tryin' to change what is not there
When niggaz stop speakin' them phone calls get slow

I'm feelin' like Nas before he dropped 'Ether'
I appear to be sober
I'ma really be runnin' over whoever said
That my career was over

Whoever gave me the cold shoulder
And turn they backs on me
I'll be blazin' you from both coasts

Believe me, I got Lil' Homie and July 6
So you funny actin ass producers, I don't need you
You can keep yo' beats, rap for money
FUCK you and everybody else who acted funny

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will support my family, slash you
(Pray)
I promise I will pray every day, I will ask you

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will stop the killin', I will change
(Pray)
I promise - I will put in this flow, what you put in my soul

Uh, I'm callin' every nigga out in the game
That tried to go against the fire and douse the flame
I could shout yo' name
But nobody stands out more than anybody else
You doubt the same

For every nigga that say I'm hidin'
Just because I ain't hangin' out
At the same places I once vibed in
Everybody at my father's job askin' him rumors, shit

Stop as my dad soon gon' quit
If I can, maybe thank him for raising me
To think like a baby gangsta, crazy temper
I paid my sentence, totaled out the prison
The Game sent me, fame owes my name plus interest

But once you strapped in to the penmanship
And the track rumbles, you trapped in this rap jungle
When you can't come through, sales are numbers
The one who prevails'll be the one who remain tumbled

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will support my family, slash you
(Pray)
I promise I will pray every day, I will ask you

I promise if you just let me in the game
(Pray)
If you should bless me enough to let me reign
I will contain you
(Pray)

I promise I will stop the killin', I will change
(Pray)
I promise - I will put in this flow, what you put in my soul

What you put in my soul
Pray, pray, pray
Pray, pray, pray
