I promise 

I give you the truth (uh Jin) 
This song is dedicated, to everybody that stays true to themselves 
Cause at the end of the day, that's all we've got, true story 

All I got in this world, is my word and I promise 
I will never break it, hey I'm being honest 
I give you the truth, that's no secret 
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it 

The truth is I don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying 
I'd be lying if I were to sit here and tell that I am 
In control know where I'm going then again 
The problem is where I'm going no one has ever been 
Nobody ever came and did it quite like Jin 
See I can do it like this with or without a pen 
This shit is real, it can never be pretend 
It's getting harder to figure out who's enemy or friend 
And ever since, I decided that I should 
Step into the industry I told myself that I would 
Never forget my roots and always to remember 
That they don't understand you so they won't work with your agenda 
And every time I got called a chink I didn't blink 
I just said to myself think Jin think 
It's gotta be a better way to overcome the devil 
I promised to myself I'd never surcome to their level 

All I got in this world is my word and I promise 
I will never break it hey I'm being honest 
I give you the truth, that's no secret 
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it 

I'm speaking on behalf of anybody that has ever told somebody 
Things are wrong but I intend to make them better 
Never make a promise if you don't intend to keep it 
Cause the person that you make the promise to will always peep it 
You reap it, you sow it, you know it 
You always see yourself to stand by your word and always uphold it 
Like a marriage through sickness and through health 
For richer or for poorer never love nobody else 
In holy matrimony but yo you know that's phony 
If partners ain't committed it just makes the act unholy 
Or when parents tell their kids that they love 'em 
But they're never around to kiss them hold them or hug 'em 
Too busy out thuggin' or maybe out clubbin' 
It's never too late you thought it was but it wasn't 
So hold your child and look them in the eyes and promise them 
That you'd never ever walk out of their lives 

All I got in this world is my word and I promise 
I will never break it hey I'm being honest 
I give you the truth, that's no secret 
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it 

I never let the fame hit to my brains I promise I promise 
And when I'm gone ya'll remember the name I promise I promise 
I came here to share my joy and my pain I promise I promise 
After this the game will never be the same I promise I promise 
We promise never to forget the innocent lives 
The victims of 9/11 the children, husbands and wives 
The soldiers that died, that should've survived 
To all the mothers that lost one we hear your cries 
The government lies, it's written in the skies 
I know it all you gotta do is look into their eyes 
Call the gardener and tell him it's lights out 
And promise to never have no bushes by the White House 

All I got in this world is my word and I promise 
I will never break it hey I'm being honest 
I give you the truth, that's no secret 
That's a promise and I promise I intend to keep it 

I promise, I promise 
I promise, I promise 
I promise, I promise 
I promise, I promise
