Promises

I would never run from it

Promise I don't need to

If I put a pen to pad, that promise Imma keep too

Always going off the top, so it never bleed through

Look at me and tell me I don't stand on my two feet for you

Everybody knows a story about someone that they did wrong

All I that I can do is breathe, and know that I was dead wrong

I told you I don't want to leave, but I can never stay long

I told you, you ain't gotta believe me, I know what I pray on

At once I'm in two places

All it took was a little patience

I felt freedom at all stages

All it took was a double dose

It felt like death was kind of coming close

I think God just excused my lateness

I don't want to cut it close

I would never run from it

Promise I don't need to

If I put a pen to pad, that promise Imma keep too

Always going off the top, so it never bleed through

Look at me and tell me I don't stand on my two feet for you

Everybody knows a story about someone that they did wrong

All that I can do is breathe, and know that I was dead wrong

I told you I don't want to leave, but I can never stay long

I told you, you ain't gotta believe me, I know what I pray on

What I got to lose?

I know nothing can hurt my soul

I was trading places with my past self I didn't know

What'd you do if I told you, none of this is set in stone

Best thing you can do is probably find a way to let it go

What are you gon' do about it?

Sometimes things remain the same but they don't move backwards

I be tryna maintain composure when that news flash

My hands be shaking when I'm not nervous

Raise a toast

I pray for my life and more love to give to others

I hope that someday soon we gonna find a way to change

I might've crashed the beamer, but I'm gon' be in range

I was kind, but I was met with rage

It was time for us to turn a page

I wanted to lay low

I been careful what I say now
