I Promise lyrics

[Chorus]
Promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
We gon' see better days (We'll see them better days, man, promise)
(Beats for)

[Verse 1]
Told my momma we gonna make it out
Poor today, but it might be tomorrow
Then we takin' off (We takin' off)
I'm hittin' the lot, I'm buyin' ten new cars (Ten)
Get a mansion, tell my cousins and my aunties (Come on)
We movin' up
We got a house with a pool and a porch
Station off and got our own resort
Was p*ss poor, but now my yard got a tennis court
Can't change the game, I'm in my lane, ain't nothin' I can't afford
(sh*t I can't afford)
I go so hard to feed my fam, I still need my award (To feed my fam)
Gotta use that choppеr as my pillow, livin' in a war
These n*ggas dyin', mommas cryin', that's they baby boy
Thе tears runnin' out her eyes, walkin' down that isle
If you just had a baby girl, it's a cold world
It's that sh*t that caught a struggle, got me sippin' syrup
They locked us up, put us in jail, they want us to fail
My momma always used to say
"Pray for better days"
And I say
[Chorus]
Promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
We gon' see them better days
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
We gon' see them better days
