Ryan Trey – Promises lyrics

(Call it what you want)

[Chorus]
Yeah
Say oh you don't wanna fake no more, we don’t wanna fake no more
Love myself, you don't wanna change no more, you don't wanna wait no more
Follow your rules, that ain’t what we came here for
What you think we came here for?
Ain't my ghost, baby it's time to let go
Catch me, I'm tryna let go, yeah tryna let go

[Verse 1]
Yeah, seventeen and cash ruins everything around me
From a place where I lost myself and where the music found me
I had struggles, tho I grew up in a [?] household
But location don't mean a thing, if you went through what I did
Worked twenty hours a day, running circles around niggas thinking they had me [?] away
My family been more divided end two colours and [?]
They tried to take my options and aspirations
They focus on gratuation and paying off education what [?] made
I ain't really fucking with [?] and that ain't where my heart is
Say I have no family [?], if that's where the start is
Imma go get it, then come back and show them what I’m affording
Really moving forward, but I mean sometimes I’m inconsistent
Sometimes I'm [?] to my mother, then I barely listen
That’s where my life be going good until these sudden switches
Where I don't go to church but quick to look up for forgiveness
Tell me if you feel this, and

[Chorus]
I promise, got you, know I promise
I ain't letting nobody stop me, if you know I got it
Put one finger in the air, if you're tired of the tears and the only thing you wanna do is fill you pockets
Know they watching but my heart so cold, you know how they go
From day one, yeah, I rose on my own
That’s real
I don't need nobody around me, leave you where you found me
Imma go get my own...

[Verse 2]
Look, the greatest
That's how I see myself, if you want it, you gotta take it
The hardest on the eighteen ain't really up for debating
But things don't still add up in my life, it's hard to explain it, shit isn't a giving
Live a happy life, yeah I'm hoping
Dad, 61 still feel like he got problems growing
Well shit get's deep
My mama barely [?] and I can't let tempation beat it
Instead of selling my soul, I tryna sell out arenas
Hoping they will defeat us all, man, I wanna see us win
I wanna spend a-houndred-thousand dollars like it's ten
Avoiding convesations like what we could have been
Or watching another do it telling us, what we should've did
If they can win, then we can win
Let's do it for the youth
Can't no one but yourself tell you what you can't do
Just cut out all the lies in your life, replace them with truth
Take everyone you dreaming to be, wishing you could be, and replace them with you

[Chorus]
I got you, know I promise
I ain't letting nobody stop me, if you know I got it
Put one finger in the air, if you're tired of the tears and the only thing you wanna do is fill you pockets
Know they watching but my heart so cold, you know how they go
From day on, I did rose on my own
That's real
I don't need nobody around me, leave you where you found me
Imma go get my own...

Oh you don't wanna fake no more, we don't wanna fake no more
Love myself, you don't wanna change no more, you don't wanna wait no more
Follow your rules, that ain't what we came here for
What you think we came here for?
Ain't my ghost, baby it's time to let go
Catch me, I'm tryna let go, yeah tryna let go
