[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

Promise (yeah) i ran through the paper

More money, more problems, more money
More problems but, I got the choppers and
I will go solve 'em i try keep it peaceful

And stay away from people

Be solo, be solo, my niggas is gone (yeah)
When I'm not in the streets you
Can find me at home

Promise, yeah

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 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 (yeah) i ran with the killers
The hustlers and gamblers (yeah)
