Shattered Promises Lyrics by AKN.owledge

The Underappreciated

2014

[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 bitches
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 glass 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 pass on it
Life it was locked with a pass 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
