[Verse 1]
Dear wifey
I promise you even when we don't talk
You'll hear from me
I keep you in my heart so you'll always be near to me
You play a part so you have nothing to fear, honey
Not at all
I can't promise you attention
But I can promise you I'll listen, listen
Regardless of my mood
I promise you support in anything you ever choose to do
My biggest fear is losing you, baby
I promise you, when the balls over
You're like my first child, that's when it's all over
And we'll start a new beginning together
You know I don't believe in marriage
But we'll end it together
Cause for you I could bend my rules
I still get the chills every time my friends mention you
It's impossible for you to always trust me
But I need you to promise you'll still love me
[Hook]
Tell me you'll never leave me
Ain't no way, it won't be easy
Tell me you won't forget us
Tell me you'll never give up
I promise
Tell me that you'll hold me down
I promise
Tell me you'll be around
I promise
Tell me you'll always stay the same
I promise
Tell me you'll never change
I promise
[Verse 2]
I promise you that you're half of the reason that I do this sh**
Even though you're turned off by the music bizz
Just remember that I never lose my cool
And I promise that I'll use all the money as a tool
Slap me to remind me of my past
If I ever try to act like a fool
I'll never turn my back on my dudes
Cause I don't really care about the extra sh**
No I've never been desperate for a s**y whip
What the people don't know is
I don't need to blow
I write songs cause I got emotions
And they need to flow
I promise that I'll see you on the holidays
And I promise to respond when you call my name
If you ever need somebody to talk to
Tell me where you need to go and I'll walk you
Cause I'd feel awful if you took away that privilege
I promise you
There's nothing I wouldn't do for our friendship
Listen..
[Hook]
Tell me you'll never leave me
Ain't no way, it won't be easy
Tell me you won't forget us
Tell me you'll never give up
I promise
Tell me that you'll hold me down
I promise
Tell me you'll be around
I promise
Tell me you'll always stay the same
I promise
Tell me you'll never change
I promise
[Verse 3]
I promise to do whatever it takes to stay happy
Cause success means nothing if you ain't happy
I can't promise that you'll find what you're looking for
But you gotta keep pushing dog, move forward
And remember, be humble at the end of it all
No matter how much you accomplish, don't mention it all
Stay open to new things and don't forget to breathe
When your times comes, don't forget to leave
Play the background and help another kid live his dreams out
Cause you should truly know what that means now
Tell him that he gotta hold his team down
And keep playing till the games done
Promise that I won't forget where I came from
Me, John and O, three bullets from the same gun
Sitting 'round the fire, now we're getting higher
Telling stories of our journey, so our family gets inspired
No matter how tired
Or discouraged you get
Gotta keep grinding
Love whatever you do
And it'll love you back
I promise
