Promises

This ain't what I been promised
This ain't what I been promised
Nah it ain't and I know it too

Where the hell am I supposed to lay do I just delay?
Where are all my accolades, man I been on guard for days
Guess I'll say, another day, gotta pray so I be safe
Ima keep on treating everyday like it's a holiday
I been lookin forward, to rolling in a 40
Rubberbanded stacks and a couple fine shawties good Lordy
I thought I'd be important ya bore me turns out
I'm just as broke and flat and stepped on as a doormat I'm dormant
Maybe time is giving me the bird
Maybe god wants me to feel the burn
Maybe I ain't meant to be concerned
Maybe I'm somehow supposed to learn
But Every rose has a thorn man
If he rose then we gone man
Like D rose we'll be on man
Another life in another land

Damn
We the lambs talking "hunna bands" man you scamming why you cramming
You seeing life through a magnifying glass
I'll be in another class fighting for all the masses
And you'll be stuck in all your classes
Held prisoner under all the harassment
Let me know how you liking that 40
I'll let you know how I'm liking all the glory

Cuz you ain't sipping what I'm sipping aye
You ain't doing you just lipping aye
One day they'll be a-hard-a-rain
So what's up with all the damn delay

Maybe if we had a lifestyle we knew was good
If we chose water stead of fire like we know we could
If we stop fronting with our homies cuz we think we're hood
Things could be the way they should

Popping bottles and a sip of lean or two
It's all in common cuz apparently we do
Think of important things instead of clothes and shoes
Woah did I just make a breakthrough?
Don't do it for the commas and don't it for the gram
I seen what a paycheck will do to a man
Don't be a fake one and give it to the fam
Cause Listen and silent are both an anagram.
