Promises

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, I still got you in mind

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, they still mine

I know I been away, but these dreams

All these dreams take time

Got a lot of promises that are in mind

Got a lot of promises

Yeah

That I made to myself back then when I couldn't 'ford rent

All the dreams I said before were before bed

All the times I spent serving tables on the low, they don't know

I'm the chef, I'm the cook back home, uh

Holdin' on hope, hittin' shows front row

Late nights eatin' melon, all the blocks that know

No flowers, but I rose, long hours on the coast

Then she ask me what I want: everything that I'm owed

Everything I'm owed, I'ma get it

I'ma get it god willin'

'Boutta take a plane, I'ma see you right quick

You ain't gotta worry, I ain't goin' nowhere, god willin'

Got a lot of promises

Doubted from the start

It's a long way up from the ground to the stars

Underdog stories take a pound to the heart

Heard too many sorry's, not one from the heart

Thoughts of who I was writin' raps in the park

Provin' them wrong was the paint to the art

To the old me with the Carhartt

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, I still got you in mind

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, they still mine

I know I been away, but these dreams

All these dreams take time

Got a lot of promises that are in mind

Got a lot of promises

That I made to myself back then

All these chips on my shoulder, every day I'm all in, uh

Destiny callin', baby I ain't on my phone, but you know I'm dialed in, wooh

See a lot of streams, I don't see a lot of ticket sales

People I came up with got an ego when a label helped

See 'em turn fake is the realest that I ever felt

Seeing all these fans is the greatest thing I ever built

Every— everything I'm owed, I'ma get it—

Uh

Forgive me, I know it's been years

I know there's been tears

But we blowin' up soon, baby

Never too late

It's never too late, I'ma find my way

Never too late, I'ma get it one day

Yeah, I know I got a

Got a lot of promises
