The Promise Lyrics - Singles - Z

i got a pocket full of dreams and some spare change 

this twenty dollars is the last money to my name 

looking for the quickest way for me to numb the pain 

so i twist one and treat it like it's novacane 

one of these days i'ma tell you how i overcame 

but for the moment i'm still getting through it 

every new day brings a chance for improvement 

if only i can keep from under the influence 

but here i blow again, here i go again 

trippin' out when i need to be focussing 

opportunity knocked but i ain't show him in 

sick and tired of living in a pinch doberman 

i'll sleep when i'm dead, time to get up 

people counting on me so i gotta keep my head up 

looking in the mirror at my greatest enemy 

gotta make a choice. who's it gonna be, him or me?

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

she likes diamonds and gold so i promised her ice 

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights 

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together 

it's been so long, but let me tell ya things are bout to get better, yeah 

i'm making (i'm making it) 

yeah, i'm smiling but honestly i'm faking it 

new day, same script, take a hit, take a sip 

straight to the studio, make a hit 

but in the meantime, in between time 

guess it means i'm serving burger king fries 

don't worry, i'ma be fine 

i've been slept on for so long i'm feeling Nat King sized 

never again will i break or bend 

never will these blood suckers penetrate my skin 

letting go of all of my past mistakes and sins 

i'm a cinderella story in the making, dig? 

instead of trying to figure out a route around it 

i'ma take it head on and be a G about it 

this here's my resurrection piece 

may the old me rest in peace, peace

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights 

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together

(repeat) 

man i wish i was money making Mitch 

in a fly whip with a fly honey dip 

tipped off of something rich we were sipping on earlier 

living the life they only dream about 

looking at us like "why they let them heathens out?" 

"why they gotta have all them overseas accounts?" 

i was guaranteed a win before it even began 

no doubt, that's straight from Jesus mouth 

my season, looking for my seeds to sprout 

words come to life when they leave my mouth 

bust bust on the enemy of heave him south 

get money in obscene amounts 

i'm gonna make it, wait and see 

you're gonna be so proud of me 

yes i will, yes i will, better to it now or i never will 

she likes diamonds and gold so i promised her ice 

she likes paris and rome so i promised her flights 

stick with me, don't let up, i'ma get it together 

it's been so long, but let me tell ya things are bout to get better, yeah 

(repeat)
