Lupe Fiasco - Promise lyrics

Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
Yeah i promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest
I promise repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin' off
They cannot keep it

Honest, I'm crossin' my heart and
I'm hopin' to die
I promise, I promise, and they don't know why
I promise, I promise, I don't be gettin' high
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober
No champagne, no vodka, no, none of that, man
Tell you I keep me a heater
I keep me a heater, believe it
I won't lead 'em wrong
Said I won't lead 'em wrong
They know what I'm on
And they know what I'm on

I promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
Yeah i promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest
I promise repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin' off
They cannot keep it
