Archie Bang - The Promise lyrics
Your rating:
Come on! Aha, yeah! Why do you wanna know the story? How I ended up in rap purgatory Come on! I'll let ya niggas know! Everybody wanna know what it is You know it's true! Hold on! It's the real right here! Eyes low, dreaming red eye, LA flights Couple stacks, .. tables, Vegas nights Clive cut the check, though we made it right Spend in advance, money reckless, like we're famous right? Real checked, I gotta do it big By the time I come home, won't know what rap is! J records dropped the group, can't regroup No album submitted, fuck them and shoot! I'm in 'em prison cell thinking I'mma come home More types of fur coats, rubies and stones Drew my... to a yacht, groupies and more Ain't happened like that, truthfully told. I'm back on the block like Rocky's fifth episode Hit the streets with nothing to show Like behind the music, VH1 Hold up, wait a minute, homie, I ain't done! New handle, gotta build my buzz up So I gotta hit the track, gotta keep these funs up Mix tapes, Messiah show love, ... got me wait up online ringing off Nipsey fuck with me, shout out to the cause The thing is as far as I run I put the street life behind me, and stay catching up Such a bad combination, the ... is what she want! Real rap made a promise, my nigga To lace my... up, go harder, my nigga! Kicking the door beats, knocking, my nigga All my Brooklyn bullshit, big popper, my nigga! Go and make them respect them, I promise, my nigga Though it was over when 50 started listening OG video, the whole hood whispering Had all these lame master rap niggas shivering. Every move make precise concrete Type of nigga to keep the devil on his feet Move the masses like a Farrakhan speech Keep pushing as we proceed To put it down for the NYC You know money, politics and grease Spit repertory illness, make you half wanna breathe. I don't get it, man! I've been doing this since day one, man Internship at records records, most... Fell into the streets, got all my bullshit .. graduating to the state penitentiary Fucked up my whole G record situation Cause I had it! One of the first in the hood to have it Come home, whole game different, industry different, Mp3s and you know, gotta learn to adapt! First mix-tape, second mix-tape, DJ Messiah, DJ Who Kid You know, I've been around! Nipsey .. one of the first niggas to show me love when I came home Real rap nigga You know, real nigga that do rap! You understand what I'm saying! Finally, we kept grinding and kept grinding G, we connect! Met 50, another real nigga And you know, everybody is waiting on my next move But you just gonna have to stay tuned I can't give it all to you, right?
