Promises Songtext
von Ace Hood

Featuring Kevin Cossom

Uh, crowd full of loud fans, hope I don′t choke
White girls going ham, they just so stoked
They just think I'm kinda dope, guess I′m pure coke
Hope they love me for my drive, only Lord knows
My daughter past couple months ago
Feel like I'm breathing but without a pulse
Nothing like losing what you love most
Promises are just equivalent to false hope

Promises and promises
You said you would be here
A promise is a promise yes
And you said you would be here
But I'm all by myself
When I need your help
Promises and promises
You said you would be here


Uh, fuck man, daddy why you such a dead beat?
While I′m 23 ye ain′t never called me
Momma said you was slicker than some hair grease
You's a cheater, what′s the point of giving wedding rings?
Poor man, you should be ashamed
Ever since I made it big I ain't been the same
First they love you then they hate you, it′s all in the game
Kinda funny when the Malcolm people know my name
Ain't life such a bitch dog?
Took from me to get a deal now the bitch called
Fuck her once and never call get her pissed off
I ain′t trippin' leave me 'lone when the dick soft
Promises, selling promises
Fake friends leave you ′cause they counterfeit
Mama in the kitchen cooking butter grits
Only one who stayed around when them others dipped

Promises and promises
You said you would be here
A promise is a promise yes
And you said you would be here
But I′m all by myself
When I need your help
Promises and promises
You said you would be here


Man, hothead, should've listened when they told me
God the only man that could hold me
Bad bitches, all looking for a check
And I′m a dope spitter looking for respect
Niggas say I'm hot, they just tryna flex
Ain′t trippin', bring the Phantom through the projects
Young nigga gettin′ dum payed
Drop top, screaming fuck 'em on the highway
Later alligator, crocodile Dundee
Doing bout a buck-fifty on the one way
Living fast cuz I never had
Middle finger to my ex cuz you in the past
So alone with my penny pad
Keep me lifted, emotions driven, I got it bad
I ain't a killa but don′t tempt me
Majority of family is so against me
Figured since I′m winning big we should all eat
I'm on 106 and now you wanna call me
Should′ve never left my waist side
Promises are nothing more than a great lie

Promises and promises
You said you would be here
A promise is a promise yes
And you said you would be here
But I'm all by myself
When I need your help
Promises and promises
You said you would be here

I′ve been waiting on you for a long long minute
When you said you're gonna be here I thought you meant it

But I′m all by myself
When I need your help
Promises and promises
You said you would be here
Be here
Be-be here
Be here
Be-be here
Be be be be
