Wiki - Promised lyrics

[Verse 1: Wiki] Judged by people that don't care about me either way Done with pleasing people who ain't aware, when I feel that way I just need to breathe for a second, need to pray Tryna make sense of what I made, not the money Every sentence, you can't touch em But put a bunch together, make a record I'd say I stayed neglected in the game, but I stayed invested At least I maintained my message And when I changed and I realized the pain I caused, confessed it All my flaws is on my set list, every bar was direct with All the travel days when I missed the city Sittin on my saddle, onto Mississippi on my trustworthy steed Or out in Europe smokin some untrustworthy weed The only way to stay high, how I prefer to be on the bus Every day you wake, a new way to say hi, different currency It's too early for all the urgency, my brain feels like been in and out of surgery Open up the curtains, see everything the world conceived, left to me Not no unnecessaries, only necessities, the bear ones have you cherishing Your sense of Qi sets you free, just don't take a turn down the wrong street But what's the loss cost me, nothing too costly, as long as I end up back on Mott Street Know I got me a spicy chicken sandwich from my akhi, that's all I need But after all I've seen I had to stop it, after all the years of being toxic In every unity I got in, every opportunity he lost him, but either way community still got him Everything you did for profit, I've hardly counted what I've got in debt This just was the only way I could be honest, the only place I could keep my promise [Verse 2: MIKE] Woke this morning had to pray that I could see beyond this Show me somewhere where it's safe, that's why I needed Jah The sh*t product of my race so it don't need a context You need remind me of my age 'cause I just be alive Sometimes I be obnoxious, with the money making game How ni**as think we locked in, while ni**as think they sly While ni**as jumped to make a name and not to leave they options While ni**as be behind, I peeped them triggers be the same when ni**as weak or gossip Fast and eager type, I keep it running in the rain and when them streets is godless Last our leaders died, I keep my mother in my prayers and I believe she watching Don't believe the hype, I've seen my brothers in that phase and how that creature got them Seen some brothers [?] leave their conscience, [?] the pride Them assumptions just a game I know we synchronized I'd rather be in front the frame than be the one besides it, some sh*t you leave to God Some sh*t I really had to say but I don't mean or promise, it's hard to speak a lot
