Christopher Jackson - Nobody Else lyrics

I didn't hear the alarm when I woke up this morning It's the first time I slept in weeks Cause I'm working two jobs Man this sh** is too hard Pay the rent, barely got money to eat While I watch all my friends Count their dough in their Benz Sometimes wish I could just kick up my feet But how can I sleep? I got promises to keep. Aint no house on the hill Cannot pay every bill When its due, and sometimes I get weak Cause I'm breakin my back just to keep us on track And I pray everyday that I keep Not to stray from the path Though these hard times will last I'm a man with responsibility Son how can I sleep? I got promises to keep. Now this for the brother that won't give up Say yeah yeah Working 80 hour week, so his family can eat Say yeah yeah Got a wife and a child And he aint on the corner hangin out Yeah yeah Said its time that we shout em out This is what I'm talkin about Yeah, yeah And there's no time sleep I got promises to keep Repeat Now I admit there are times When this life wasn't mine Till I see my son's eyes look at me And I know he's depending On the life that I'm giving There's so much that I want him to see So I gotta keep cutting In spite of the nights When I'm working in the graveyard till 3 Son how can I sleep? I got promises to keep. Now this for the brother that won't give up Say yeah yeah Working 80 hours a week, so his family can eat Say yeah yeah Got a wife and a child And he aint on the corner hangin out Yeah yeah Said its time that we shout em out This is what I'm talkin about Yeah, yeah So I work and work Keep on pushin, work and work To find a solution If it's a struggle My whole life Well I promise that I'll be someone who will Always provide for you. Work and work Keep on pushin, work and work To find a solution Its not that easy Know how no one sees me They don't understand what it takes to be a man Oh yeah I got a promise yeah I gotta keep So how can I sleep? I got promises to keep I made promises to my family I made promises to my son I made promises to my baby I was always gonna be the one And I'm gonna keep my word I made you I'm gonna always be around I got promises I'm gon' keep Until they lay me in the ground Said I got promises Yeah, yeah And there's no time to sleep I got promises to keep Said I got promises Yeah, yeah So how can I sleep? Yeah, yeah.
