Promise

Promise I ain't never been this honest At the same time I ain't never been dishonest This not for the faint heart weak stomachs Write tears breath fears cry blood bleed vomit So many skeletons I need three closets So many elements it goes beyond the Hold where I thought I had control tried to block it But my soul will implode if I don't let it comment And I know that I'm hurt but the pains never stopping Clouds in the sky but the rains never dropping So ironic but what is more ironic is trying to avoid something so atomic Tried to use work to escape it But work is my art and art makes me face it Every time I put a ink down on a paper or step in the booth it cuts like a razor Thinking of a life I help make ain't make it My ex got pregnant with my baby But she had miscarriage I went numb and emotion went absent Isolated and intoxicated off absinthe Devastated I ain't even realize or imagine I ain't even get the picture or the caption Damage or the impact that had happened Pissed in abyss lab rat in a labyrinth Fabric of time ripped and I can't patch it But can't be passive or dwell on the past tense Have to use ashes to fuel my passion God knows I miss ya even though I never met ya So special that heaven couldn't let ya Be here even for a mili second But Imma hold you down and forever rep ya That I promise One sails the seas of life and believes The storms will lead you home These open roads will call you with the promise You'll walk the Earth alone I promise promise on everything I love (I promise) I promise promise put that on God above (I promise I promise) I promise promise on everything I love (I promise I promise) I promise promise put that on God above (I promise I promise) I promise promise on everything I love (I promise I promise) I promise promise put that on God above (I promise I promise) I promise promise on everything I love (I promise I promise) I promise promise put that on God above (I promise I promise) From a father to an unborn child Now a child to a never had dad It's a pity when you live in a city where yo' life sittin' pretty 'till a gun go blast Now your worlds just clashed and your funds don't last Got to go to work if you want that cash But can't afford a sitter ain't no other way to go So you leave the kids at home tell'em keep the windows closed And don't open up the do's My story not unique You like single parent home take a single parent seat Everybody had a mama work 'bout eighty-hour weeks And a daddy tried his best but got ate up by the streets Love at its peak pray it only increase Past left over pray it never reheat And to the dad that lost to the streets You'd be proud of your son you'd be proud of your seed Let me tell you that's a promise One sails the seas of life and believes The storms will lead you home These open roads will call you with the promise You'll walk the Earth alone Even though I made it here without you (What else now?) I know I'll never be the same without you (What else now?) Even though I made it here without you (What else now?) I know I'll never be the same without you (What what what what what else now?)
