Remember the Promises you made
Remember the Promises you gave
Remember the Promises you spoke
Remember the Promises you broke
Remember you promised to forgive
Keeping the Promises you said
Keeping Promises to live
We got to be keeping Promises .
We tend to take it for joke
When we give our word
Say pick you up at Three
But come at 6
It's absurd
Hip-hop heads will tell you
Word is bond
But man blame it on
Black time is a term
I'm not fond
To hear because
It's time to be clear
The truth is
Nothing to fear
So let's speak it
And keep our word
And not break it
If God is willing
Then do what you say
All day everyday
In everyway
Let your voice be credible
Say it like it is
No time for liars
Show them that
You mean business
No taking the Piss
Time for us to be keeping Promises
Remember the Promises you made
Remember the Promises you gave
Remember the Promises you spoke
Remember the Promises you broke
Remember you promised to forgive
Keeping the Promises you said
Keeping Promises to live
We got to be keeping Promises .
Promised to love the spouse
But that got broke
Promised to go to the school play
But that got broke
Promised to go to the park
But that got broke
Promised to be there
If they need you
But that's pure joke
To comprehend worse thing
To do is break a promise to a child
Because it affects them
A little bit inside
It vexes them
Making promises
Got to keep them
That's why I
Include myself with
This finger I poke
For every
Promise that I broke
I no longer wish
To be like this
From now on
I'll be keeping Promises
Remember the Promises you made
Remember the Promises you gave
Remember the Promises you spoke
Remember the Promises you broke
Remember you promised to forgive
Keeping the Promises you said
Keeping Promises to live
We got to be keeping Promises .
Not checking for them
That's not doing
What they promised
Only want to flow with them
That's honest
Making dem run from this
Whoever deh pon
Lies and Tricknology
We all got ourselves
Some technology
To know who you
Really be and
Where you been
I promise you
I ain't losing friends
Standard is set
Now let's get in
Strengthening
Family ties and
Forgiving
And apologizing
For bad times
Forgetting those
Other guys
I promise you
I'm keeping
Promises
Above the Lies.
Remember the Promises you made
Remember the Promises you gave
Remember the Promises you spoke
Remember the Promises you broke
Remember you promised to forgive
Keeping the Promises you said
Keeping Promises to live
We got to be keeping Promises .
