[Verse 1] Dear wifey I promise you even when we dont talk Youll hear from me I keep you in my heart so youll always be near to me You play a part so you have nothing to fear, honey Not at all I cant promise you attention But I can promise you Ill listen, listen Regardless of my mood I promise you support in anything you ever choose to do My biggest fear is losing you, baby I promise you, when the balls over Youre like my first child, thats when its all over And well start a new beginning together You know I dont believe in marriage But well end it together Cause for you I could bend my rules I still get the chills every time my friends mention you Its impossible for you to always trust me But I need you to promise youll still love me [Hook] Tell me youll never leave me Aint no way, it wont be easy Tell me you wont forget us Tell me youll never give up I promise Tell me that youll hold me down I promise Tell me youll be around I promise Tell me youll always stay the same I promise Tell me youll never change I promise [Verse 2] I promise you that youre half of the reason that I do this shit Even though youre turned off by the music bizz Just remember that I never lose my cool And I promise that Ill use all the money as a tool Slap me to remind me of my past If I ever try to act like a fool Ill never turn my back on my dudes Cause I dont really care about the extra shit No Ive never been desperate for a sexy whip What the people dont know is I dont need to blow I write songs cause I got emotions And they need to flow I promise that Ill see you on the holidays And I promise to respond when you call my name If you ever need somebody to talk to Tell me where you need to go and Ill walk you Cause Id feel awful if you took away that privilege I promise you Theres nothing I wouldnt do for our friendship Listen.. [Hook] Tell me youll never leave me Aint no way, it wont be easy Tell me you wont forget us Tell me youll never give up I promise Tell me that youll hold me down I promise Tell me youll be around I promise Tell me youll always stay the same I promise Tell me youll never change I promise [Verse 3] I promise to do whatever it takes to stay happy Cause success means nothing if you aint happy I cant promise that youll find what youre looking for But you gotta keep pushing dog, move forward And remember, be humble at the end of it all No matter how much you accomplish, dont mention it all Stay open to new things and dont forget to breathe When your times comes, dont forget to leave Play the background and help another kid live his dreams out Cause you should truly know what that means now Tell him that he gotta hold his team down And keep playing till the games done Promise that I wont forget where I came from Me, John and O, three bullets from the same gun Sitting round the fire, now were getting higher Telling stories of our journey, so our family gets inspired No matter how tired Or discouraged you get Gotta keep grinding Love whatever you do And itll love you back I promise
promise, youll, tell, forget, never
