Promise me you'll be unique
Promise me that you gon' grow to your peak
Promise me that you gon' live out your dreams
Promise me that you'll see farther than me
Promise me that you'll work harder than me
Promise me that you'll be smarter than me
Be stronger than me, live longer than me
A promise is something that you gotta keep
I broke more promises than I could think
Hurting the people that's closest to me
Even I can see the irony
Feel like I'm taking up somebody's seat
Feel like I'm not where I think I should be
Where I think I should be, woah
God blessing me with some more days and
I promised you I wouldn't waste them
I know you don't wanna hear sorry
I know you just looking out for me
Fear kept me in isolation
But I promised you I would face it
Every year the same old story
I know I should be less boring
I set goals that I can close but all my boxes unchecked
Is it fatigue or laziness either way I ain't making progress
And I'm too afraid to call you 'cause I know you would think of me less
Even if you never say it
(Even if you never say it)
Another summer wasted
(Another summer)
I promised myself I wouldn't take it for granted
Guess commitment was never my greatest strength
Most people don't know that I'm wasting away
If I ever disappointed you I'll prolly do it again
And you can leave me right now 'cause I don't need more friends
A friend is someone you can depend on, when have I ever been?
Maybe I'm just exaggerating 'cause there's a lot of pain in my pen
There's a lot of pain in my pen
There's a lot of pain in my
There's a lot of pain in my pen
There's a lot of pain in my
There's a lot of pain in my
There's a lot of pain in my pen
There's a lot of pain in my pen
You never know what somebody got going on inside they head
People don't care if a nigga depressed til they end up dead
And there's nothing I'm insinuating all I'm saying is check on your peeps
'Cause one moment they're right there and the very next second they six feet deep
Promise me you'll be unique
Promise me that you gon' grow to your peak
Promise me that you gon' live out your dreams
Promise me that you'll see farther than me
Promise me that you'll work harder than me
Promise me that you'll be smarter than me
Be stronger than me, live longer than me
A promise is something that you gotta keep
I broke more promises than I could think
Hurting the people that's closest to me
Even I can see the irony
Feel like I'm taking up somebody's seat
Feel like I'm not where I think I should be
Where I think I should be, woah
