von Lupe Fiasco

Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain′t honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin′ it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I′m keepin′ it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin′ off, they can not keep it?


Honest
I'm crossin′ my heart and I'm hopin′ to die
I promise, I promise, and they don't know why
I promise, I promise, I don't be gettin′ high
I′m sober, I'm sober, I′m sober, I'm sober
No champagne, no vodka, no, none of that, man
Tell you I keep me a heater, I keep me a heater, believe it
I won′t lead 'em wrong, said I won′t lead 'em wrong
They know what I'm on, and they know what I′m on

I promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain′t honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise

I'm keepin′ it honest, I promise
I'm keepin′ it honest, I'm keepin′ it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin off, they can not keep it


Promise
I ran through the paper, I ran through the paper (yeah)
I bought me Ferraris, I bought me some haters
More money more problems, more money more problems
But I got the choppers and I will go solve 'em
I try keep it peaceful, I try keep it peaceful
And stay away from people, I stay away from people
Be solo, be solo, my niggas is gone (yeah)
When I′m not in the streets you can find me at home

Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain′t honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise

I'm keepin′ it honest, I promise
I'm keepin′ it honest, I'm keepin′ it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin off, they can not keep it

Honest, yeah
I ran with the killers, the hustlers and gamblers (yeah)
I'm telling you Sway that I do have the answers (yeah)
Just ask me a question, I′ll give you the truth (yeah)
I got me a Benzy it ain′t got a roof
I'm smart but I′m poor, I'm smart but I′m poor (yeah)
I'm keeping my bars up, I′m keeping my bars up (yeah)
I try to do good 'cause I don't like the karma
But you never know so I bought me some armor

Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain′t honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise

I′m keepin' it honest, I′m keepin' it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
′Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin off, they can not keep it
