Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, listen
When I be sittin' at home all by myself now
I be sayin', damn, I had a good girl
You know
You don't even realise how hard it is to find somebody like you
Till they gone, ya know what I mean
If you'll let me just come back in your life
I'll never do it again
I promise
[Verse 2]
Down at the studio
Tryna make tracks
Girl at home, all over my back
Every time I say that's what I'm doin'
She just thinks it's an excuse
'Cause I'm not tryna get some new snatch
Now I realize that I work too hard
To keep her in my life
I done came too far
For me to turn around, girl, ain't none of that
Goin' down, girl, so
Believe it when I say
[Verse 3]
I know I been wrong but I'm tryna live right
Live my life If it makes it right, I promise, girl
I promise, promise
I promise I'll be stayin' out of those streets
I promise whatever you heard 'bout me
I promise to be the NYG
You're throwin' all you can get at me
I promise it wasn't even my heat
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
No more, no more
Girl, just believe
I promise
[Verse 4]
I promise, baby
I'ma be the best man
I don't even know how to be
I promise
No more Monday nights at the gentleman's club
It's all about you
[Verse 5]
Believe I really meant it when I said I left Pat
She messed in the streets and I'm not about that
Said that I'ma be there
And now, baby, you gon' see the I'ma be there
Whenever, just 'cause you're my lady
I'ma show you just what you deserve
Tell you ain't waitin' no more for your turn
Say you want a rider
And I can be that and much more
Like a provider
And I want you to know I love you
[Verse 6]
I know I been wrong but I'm tryna live right
I'd give my life if it makes it right
I promise, girl
I promise, promise
I promise I'ma stay out of these streets
I promise whatever you heard 'bout me
I promise to be the man I dream
You're throwin' all you can get at me
I promise that wasn't in my dream
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
No more, no more
No, no, girl, just believe
[Verse 7]
Girl, I promise you love
I promise I never would leave
Girl, I promise, long as you love me, I could never deceive you
I promise you this, I promise you that
Whatever you want, long as I got it
Ain't no problem with that
You my ebony queen, everything
Player ever could dream
Give you the world and everything in between
Now, you wanted honesty, monogamy
The way that you on to me
Ain't no other way, it's gotta be
I couldn't see you with another man
Rollin' in sands
Strollin' through the park in the dark, holdin' his hand
Me and you versus the world is only the plan
I know that it get rough, but I'm doin' all that I can
Now, to the world, I'm just lullin' from Harlem
If I had a choice, girl
I'd rather lose the stardom
Than to ever lose you
I promise I would never use you
This not a game, girl
I promise
[Verse 8]
I promise that I'm gonna leave these streets
I promise, so will you come with me
I promise to be the VIP
I've thrown it all to get at you
I promise that wasn't even my dream
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
No more, no more
Girl, just believe
[Verse 9]
I promise you won't see me in these streets
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
I promise to be the in right G
Thrown it all you could get at me
I promise that wasn't even my head
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
No more, no more
Girl, just believe
[Verse 10]
I promise you won't see me in these streets
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
I promise to be the NYG
You're throwin' all you can get at me
I promise that wasn't in my head
I promise you ain't gotta worry 'bout me
No more, no more
Girl, just believe
I promise
