Dom Kennedy - Promise Lyrics

(Tre Fresh killin' the beat, Tre Fresh killin' the beat)

Tell 'em don't bang your line, don't even send a text
You better off with me, your mama told you best
I'm not doin' this for the clout, I'm pullin' up to the house, shit
If we were kids, I'd ask, "When is she comin' out?", uh

Truth is, I'm in some whole deeper shit with shawty
I always give her her respect 'cause it's mandatory
Before rap, shit, I used to f*ck with Job Corps
She say she like how I dress, and I'm tatted more
When you see a girl with me, man she lucky
I got a rollin' Zig-Zags in her undies
I got her prayin' for the kid every Sunday
She know my city real grimy, lot of gunplay
Light makeup and lip-gloss when she go to work
Two cars in her own spot, I gotta give her her's
She'll be here in thirty minutes if I send a word
What happened in the past, I'm not at all concerned
I know this all gon' make sense soon one day
I watch her get her GLE, no more Hyundai
I watched her turn the sidewalk into one-way
We be kissin', we be touchin', we be up late

Tell 'em don't bang your line, don't even send a text
You better off with me, your mama told you best
I'm not doin' this for the clout, I'm pullin' up to the house, shit
If we were kids, I'd ask, "When is she comin' out?"

And she always got her nails fresh (uh)
And she always got her hair fresh (yeah)
And she know I always got her back
I promise I'll be solid when we met

Tell her just call my line 'cause it's mandatory
Nails match her lingerie, yeah, she love the finer things
Damn, she the one and I can't ignore
Make a player wanna turn it in, kissin' on her pretty skin
Pullin' up in baby Benz, she gon' grind for it
Ain't no rushin' when we f*ckin', take your time for me
Arch your back just like that when a nigga comin' home
So you tell 'em this when them lames hit your phone

Tell 'em don't bang your line, don't even send a text
You better off with me, your mama told you best
I'm not doin' this for the clout, I'm pullin' up to the house, shit
If we were kids, I'd ask, "When is she comin' out?"

And she always got her nails fresh (yeah)
And she always got her hair fresh (uh)
And she know I always got her back
I promise I'll be solid when we met

Tell 'em don't bang your line, 'cause you stuck with me
I f*ck with you the most 'cause of your honesty, the generosity
The way you got my back, forever down like that, these other hoes is wack
But you don't need 'em, no
Tell me to pull up, I tell 'em drop the load
The way you got my back, forever down like that, these other hoes is wack, oh
But you don't need 'em, no
Tell me to pull up, I tell 'em drop the load
'Cause you're forever mine

Tell 'em don't bang your line, don't even send a text
You better off with me, your mama told you best
I'm not doin' this for the clout, I'm pullin' up to the house, shit
If we were kids, I'd ask, "When is she comin' out?"

And she always got her nails fresh (yeah)
And she always got her hair fresh (uh)
And she know I always got her back
I promise I'll be solid when we met
