Promise You Nothing Lyrics by No Idols

Eyes Wide Shut

2015

Rem: “Care to tell me what you learned now?”
Jai: “I only learned that no one wanted me. So, I stuck with that…”
Rem: “So you didn’t learn a thing. You merely assumed that nobody wanted you because it didn’t work out the first few times...”
Verse
I always felt like a traitor to two cities
Salisbury, Maryland and Philly will never get me
Felt as if the cities would crumble into debris if i ever made the decision to rap according to me
Because I never gave these lyrics a promesee
So, it's plain to see, that I can quit whenever I bleed
Not when I please, Cause it's a gift to spit over beats
Intelligently, Making a path for other Mc's
So, Here I sit, Spitting into a mic
While little sister in North Carolina giving a fight
Trying to make a living despite of being in plight
Is it impolite for me to not want to book flights?
Gone is my mother's wedding in highlight of July
Now, my older sister's the only one that's known as a White
Cutting off the bonds of a family in several ties
It's only right for me to get it off as I write
15 hours, I got to sit on a bus
Just to get to college and strive for an A-Plus
That won't amount to much except making my living dream of being musical genius and lyricist so robust
Music is a will and I'm trying to make a way
But, while I shoot for par, the bullets just ricochet
You either own the stage or you sit in the cabaret
Shake the fear off your shoulders and listen to what I say
Now, Show me what you're made of, What is the next approach
Cause I've been here long enough that I could probably coach
I'm picking off lyricists, people think that I poach
So much that I probably should give them words of reproach
I need a better way for me to stand out
Cause I was standing out before the tape came out
And In this world, you don't know what you can bring about
So, keep an eye out for the goal like an Eagle Scout
Against this winter setting, I'm feeling as if I'm sinking
Between us, I can't even swallow the pride I'm drinking
Hellbent on becoming the revolution, inspired by people who deviated while wearing formal attire
In this fog this night, there's no one in sight
Only when you rewrite your past will there be light
Despite my false intentions, I still wonder if you're alright
I wish that I was strong enough to save you from the red light
