MC Jin - I Promise lyrics

I give you the truth (uh Jin)
This song is dedicated
To everybody that stays true to themselves
Cause at the end of the
Day, that's all we've got, true story

All I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it all I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it

The truth is I don't know what
I'm doing but I'm trying
I'd be lying if I were to sit
Here and tell that I am
In control know where I'm going then again
The problem is where I'm going
No one has ever been
Nobody ever came and did it quite like Jin
See I can do it like this
With or without a pen
This shit is real, it can never be pretend
It's getting harder to figure out
Who's enemy or friend
And ever since, I decided that I should
Step into the industry I told
Myself that I would
Never forget my roots and always to remember
That they don't understand you so they
Won't work with your agenda
And every time I got called
A chink I didn't blink
I just said to myself think Jin think
It's gotta be a better way
To overcome the devil
I promised to myself I'd never
Surcome to their level

All I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it all I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it

I'm speaking on behalf of anybody
That has ever told somebody
Things are wrong but I intend
To make them better
Never make a promise if you
Don't intend to keep it
Cause the person that you make the
Promise to will always peep it
You reap it, you sow it, you know it
You always see yourself to stand by
Your word and always uphold it
Like a marriage through sickness
And through health for richer or for poorer
Never love nobody else
In holy matrimony but yo
You know that's phony
If partners ain't committed it just
Makes the act unholy
Or when parents tell their kids
That they love 'em
But they're never around to kiss them
Hold them or hug 'em
Too busy out thugging or maybe out clubbing
It's never too late you thought
It was but it wasn't
So hold your child and look them
In the eyes and promise them
That you'd never ever walk out of their lives

All I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it all I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it

I never let the fame hit to
My brains I promise I promise
And when I'm gone y'all remember the
Name I promise I promise
I came here to share my joy and
My pain I promise I promise
After this the game will never be
The same I promise I promise
We promise never to forget the innocent lives
The victims of 9
11 the children, husbands and wives
The soldiers that died
That should've survived
To all the mothers that lost
One we hear your cries the government lies
It's written in the skies
I know it all you gotta do
Is look into their eyes
Call the gardener and tell
Him it's lights out
And promise to never have no
Bushes by the White House

All I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it all I got in this world
Is my word and I promise
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest
I give you the truth, that's no secret
That's a promise and I promise
I intend to keep it

I promise, I promise i promise, I promise
I promise, I promise i promise, I promise
