A1 Godsgift - Promise

(Everybody go through something in this life man)
(You just gotta push through man. Be consistent, can't quit, just grind nigga, work hard nigga)
(It's God's Gift)
(Yeah, uh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah, uhhhh)
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
I had to leave
Cause my brothers looked up to me
They noticed me selling weed
I know me leaving I had to take chances
Ain’t coming back till I get us a mansion
That’s on my life
They don’t believe they follow the hype
They never seen what I seen at night
I shed a tear then I hit the mic
I know the feeling the feeling of life
How you gonna live when you stuck in the past
Wanna change things but I can’t go back
I’ma focus on the now and put us on the map
Might take time but our time gonna last
I seen the vision than I had to get it
Told ‘em my goal and they looked at me different
God is my witness
I gave my love to these people and I don’t regret it
I know the shit that I did
Sorry for things that I said
I was wrong I admit
Used to say that I’m a gift
I know you still think I’m it
Mama I promise I got it
Nothing like buying whatever you wanted
I feel ashamed when I can’t afford it
I feel the pain and I can’t ignore it
I didn’t choose the life that I live
I was emotional, I was a kid
Came to the point where I was gonna quit
I felt like one day I didn’t exist
I didn’t choose the life that I live
I was emotional, I was a kid
Came to the point where I was gonna quit
I felt like one day I didn’t exist
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
They never notice the shit we go through
They ask me questions, I don’t got a clue
They always hate when you do something new
I’m focused on me I ain’t worried about you
I take a loss, and know it’s a lesson
I know life hard but shit is a blessing
I didn’t get it till I got the message
I gotta get it my mind is the weapon
I gotta go, I know one day I’ma blow
One day you got it then one day you don’t
So better go hustle you think this a joke
I learned a lot when I used to be broke
I had to get up and stay on my own
I had a dream then it turnt to a goal
I couldn’t sleep man I had to stay woke
Feeling emotions I had to let go
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
I promised mama I’ma buy a house
So much siblings had to sleep on the couch
Came to the point where I had to get out
Ain’t want my fam watch me go the wrong route
We had to struggle, I had to hustle
I had to show ‘em niggas what I’m ‘bout
I ain’t never ever do it for clout
I needed money so I had to bounce
(Yeah)
