The Promise
Archie Bang

[Intro:]

Come on! Aha, yeah!

Why do you wanna know the story?

How I ended up in rap purgatory

Come on!


I'll let ya niggas 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, fuck 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 fuck 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 nigga

To lace my... up, go harder, my nigga!

Kicking the door beats, knocking, my nigga

All my Brooklyn bullshit, big popper, my nigga!

Go and make them respect them, I promise, my nigga

Though it was over when 50 started listening

OG video, the whole hood whispering

Had all these lame master rap niggas shivering.

Every move make precise concrete

Type of nigga 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 bullshit

.. graduating to the state penitentiary

Fucked 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 niggas to show me love when I came home

Real rap nigga

You know, real nigga that do rap!

You understand what I'm saying!

Finally, we kept grinding and kept grinding

G, we connect!

Met 50, another real nigga

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?
