ARCHIE BANG lyrics : "The Promise"

Come on! Aha, yeah!
Why do you wanna know the story?
How I ended up in rap purgatory

Come on!
I'll let ya ^!$$%s know!
Everybody wanna know what it is

You know it's true!
Hold on!
It's the real right here!


Eyes low, dreaming red eye, LA flights
Couple stacks, .. tables, Vegas nights

Clive cut the check, though we made it right
Spend in advance, money reckless, like we're famous right?
Real checked, I gotta do it big

By the time I come home, won't know what rap is!
J records dropped the group, can't regroup
No album submitted, $#&@ them and shoot!

I'm in 'em prison cell thinking I'mma come home
More types of fur coats, rubies and stones
Drew my... to a yacht, groupies and more

Ain't happened like that, truthfully told.
I'm back on the block like Rocky's fifth episode
Hit the streets with nothing to show

Like behind the music, VH1
Hold up, wait a minute, homie, I ain't done!
New handle, gotta build my buzz up

So I gotta hit the track, gotta keep these funs up
Mix tapes, Messiah show love, ... got me wait up online ringing off
Nipsey $#&@ with me, shout out to the cause

The thing is as far as I run
I put the street life behind me, and stay catching up
Such a bad combination, the ... is what she want!

Real rap made a promise, my ^!$$%
To lace my... up, go harder, my ^!$$%!
Kicking the door beats, knocking, my ^!$$%

All my Brooklyn bull%#@!, big popper, my ^!$$%!
Go and make them respect them, I promise, my ^!$$%
Though it was over when 50 started listening

OG video, the whole hood whispering
Had all these lame master rap ^!$$%s shivering.
Every move make precise concrete

Type of ^!$$% to keep the devil on his feet
Move the masses like a Farrakhan speech
Keep pushing as we proceed

To put it down for the NYC
You know money, politics and grease
Spit repertory illness, make you half wanna breathe.


I don't get it, man!
I've been doing this since day one, man

Internship at records records, most...
Fell into the streets, got all my bull%#@!
.. graduating to the state penitentiary

$#&@ed up my whole G record situation
Cause I had it! One of the first in the hood to have it
Come home, whole game different, industry different,

Mp3s and you know, gotta learn to adapt!
First mix-tape, second mix-tape, DJ Messiah, DJ Who Kid
You know, I've been around!

Nipsey .. one of the first ^!$$%s to show me love when I came home
Real rap ^!$$%
You know, real ^!$$% that do rap!

You understand what I'm saying!
Finally, we kept grinding and kept grinding
G, we connect!

Met 50, another real ^!$$%
And you know, everybody is waiting on my next move
But you just gonna have to stay tuned

I can't give it all to you, right?
