[Verse 1: Promise NYC]
Started from the bottom
Five story apartment up in Harlem
Same place my Uncle Bobby had some problems
Wish I could travel back to 1990
And tell em' bout the 48 laws, mainly number two and nineteen
And maybe he'd be in our lives
I don't write, I improvise
Have a long lasting effect the second I enter lives
Master Splinter-wise, thought process you gotta an*lyze
Spit powerful sh**, you might cry if you look me in my eyes
The worst day of my life will be when Brenda dies
Far as me, I'm cool with anything after twenty-five
The thought of my own d**h gets me energized
Said "f** God", I wonder if I'll be penalized
The complexity of a young man
Wanna save the world but I don't give a f** on one hand
God was up in heaven relaxing, getting a sun tan
Shoulda' had his a** in Sandy Hook making them guns jam
They never gon' see me like a 3-point line dunk slam
Wordplay crazy, you could tell I was a Pun fan
By myself I'll destroy your lineup, I'm gon' be honest
Promise Baltimore ya'll corny rhymers the 49ers
My sh** is witty and clever
Forget these n***as I'm better
Pick n***as from different eras
And mix them n***as together
I'll spit some sh** that's whatever and finish Hip-Hop forever
Flow too distant to measure
Life's a gift and it's precious but why my n***as is stressin'?
Splitting spliffs on the dresser
And hittin' piff for the pressure
If we slip outta heaven what do we get for our effort?
I'm hoping for an "E", if not "F" it
You can't say you real till' you feel what everyone else feel
Go help [?], even when I just said that it felt real
Did ya wake up yet or am I talking to myself still?
February, still got that 2012 feel
There's people in New Orleans needing help still
They don't really want us to live, look at our health bills!
They done brainwashed the people
f** a lollipop, pay attention to that needle
f** a zombie invasion, we're zombies
Most of us live blindly
So we ain't vote Mitt Romney
Folks still gon' get bodied
n***as still gonna commit robbery
So don't even run that sh** by me
The world end? Oh well sh** finally
When it happen Ima' sit calmly
I look at life like a big comedy
Lost n***as that was just by me
Drive bys [?]
Bullet holes got left right where I would've been probly'
So I've never really been jolly
Any love that was inside me is pretty much gone entirely
Only real n***as inspire me
Fake n***as often [?]
They ain't got what I embodied
I ain't God but I am godly, no I am him prolly'
Just send a body from the bottom where they [?]
Hear pa-pa-pow in the background
Pat downs for the crack [?]
Same ones that the police pa**ed round
Tryna bring the money back around
Your n***a said there was rhyme where he at right now?
Get locked bet they won't bring they a** around
Be in the club while they lowering your casket down
And that's just foul, but that's just how these n***as think
n***as talking bout, they smell like money
They think like money, they think they big cause they making money
f** you talking my n***a they make them money
They played you dummy, they think you funny, they-
[Outro]
-Think you stupid, and we are
But not "we" ya'll, Me? Nah I see far
"n***a Prom he a retard, thinking he god
But he still trapped in the same maze that we are"
Wish I could bring back everyone on life support who didn't make it
And anyone who took they life before cause they couldn't take it
And everyone in a casket or, ashes in a can
Who had a chance then life snatched out they hands, damn
(Door Closes)
