I Promise Lyrics by Elking

2018

[Verse 1]
I promise you I'll die honorable
Hope my past transactions don't make my karma so comical
Forgive my foolish pride to those and more that I won’t mention
My dad among others, maybe some cousins and some friend, shits
Getting out of hand.. but you have to give it to get it
So I understand why as of late I ain't been let in
Where the sacred hearts of hearts are exchanging a message
You ain't been digesting, you've been disconnected
But when I try to plug back in, I feel like I'm Neo
Out of place, its safe to say that the Matrix is winning
Like "I’m tryna be so different," but attacking who don’t fit in
Hardly conditioned to wash away the things that we been conditioned with
But this is it, isn’t it? "yeah turn the bass up!
I could kind of vibe cuz I ain't got courage to say som’"
Religion's a crutch, crucify me like a Mason
Inquisitive and selfish just my nature
And Ima save ya - but I’m not a savior, (just human)
[Verse 2]
So how we encourage speaking our truth?
When I been peeping how they treating people like you
Critics in need of a mirror, this mirror's revisionist proof
I hope that I listened to you
As you courageously wear your pain
Tho they say, build a bridge get over it, its in your brain
Know it ain't in vain cuz you inspire me to do the same
May my undying support for you ease where the nooses hang
Truth or truth, is I wouldn’t choose truth if I lose this game
Fuck it tho, this about memories and new moments, huh?
So from this moment up these are the things to which I'm owning up
I been selfish as of late, cuz all I thinks ‘bout being great
If it ain't building a skill, there ain't a minute to kill
I haven’t vibed with you, I haven’t felt close to my faith
I don’t care about what you say, and I blame my anxiety
Cuz as an empath I been feeling like ya’ll been eyeing me
And my God my insecurities got me watching my step
The reason why i ran away, left you in pain, I’m scared to death
Yes I’m scared of death, but fuck it if I die, may I close my eyes, may I feel alive
