AKN.owledge - Shattered Promises lyrics

[Hook:] I never keep the promise I make for myself And even when I change it never really helps Need someone to blame but there's nobody else I'm locked within my soul in a battle with myself [Verse 1:] This world is too vicious like I'm facing two b**hes They manipulate my words like I spoke in two pitches The pictures of their visions get framed in our decisions Make up who we are but I ain't pamper up and glisten Now listen, I'm changing up positions Poetic, metaphoric, to effortless, historic I came in indirect but later on I stored it Kept it hidden too long now my words are getting shortened Feeling less important but even more distorted My gla** already full from emotions imported Aborted the one mission before I even started Yet I keep it one hundred but I'm feeling halfhearted Now I laugh on it, I pa** on it Life it was locked with a pa** code on it Unlock the secrets, to vision the deepness Found out my weakness was just a broken promise Now [Hook:] I never keep the promise I make for myself And even when I change it never really helps Need someone to blame but there's nobody else I'm locked within my soul in a battle with myself [Verse 2:] Time is after me but I'm running out of patience And discovering myself got me waiting like a patient Close to falling down with my face upon the pavement I work around the clock like I'm hiding from its faces And for what though, afraid of my reflection? I look into the mirror just to face my imitation Without an invitation, this pen I'm embracing Through the doors that I race in say poetic restoration Has my mind elevated, my mind has created Ever changing rhymes schemes with flows like ventilation I ventilate the stress, to fake promises I held my consciousness with a bit of common sense The change is coming quick, like a virgin twenty secs I'll be switching lanes to a different intersect Laying down my rhymes as I build my confidence Will always keep it true, to you I promise this [Hook:] I never keep the promise I make for myself And even when I change it never really helps Need someone to blame but there's nobody else I'm locked within my soul in a battle with myself
