“Promises” tells a story about Lil Trix a...
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Trix]
Girl, I know that you and me
We ain't suppose to be together
But I ain't gone break my promises
When I promised you forever
We always fight again and again and make up in the end
And when we make up then we fighting again
But we still feeling like we're living happily ever after
But
[Chorus: Lil Trix]
I just can't let you go right now
I just got a whole lotta shit on my mind right now
But I've made up my mind
I won't you leave you behind
So, me and you, we gone go right 'til forever
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
[Verse 1: Lil Trix]
See, you the type of girl that I would die for
But being forever with you is what I wanna be alive for
You think I don't really care, what you think I try for?
You claim that I'm whatever, girl, then what you need a guy for?
Haha, you always moan when you're on your own
But when I'm with you, then you gone wish that I was gone
But even when you do me wrong, I'll leave you alone
But I never seem to forget you'll always be my home
[Refrain: Lil Trix]
You know I love you
And I know that, girl, you love me too
But you ain't going through the shit that I've been going through
Sometimes I feel like you're just too blind to see
And girl, I'm trynna do
Everything you want me to
But you don't wanna do
Anything I wanna do
Why must one of us always disagree?
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Trix]
Girl, I know that you and me
We ain't suppose to be together
But I ain't gone break my promises
When I promised you forever
We always fight again and again and make up in the end
And when we make up then we fighting again
But we still feeling like we're living happily ever after
But
[Chorus: Lil Trix]
I just can't let you go right now
I just got a whole lotta shit on my mind right now
But I've made up my mind
I won't you leave you behind
So, me and you, we gone go right 'til forever
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
[Bridge: Lil Trix]
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
Baby, I made too many promises
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
And that's a promise that I'm willing to keep
That's a promise that I'm willing to keep
Baby, I made too many promises
[Verse 2: E.Li]
Like broken ankles, girl
You got it all twisted
I mean, we fight and we argue
But, shit, you won't listen
We were complete like a puzzle
But pieces gone missing
It never seems to add up
Yet I see no difference
But it's whatever
Girl, I treated you better than them other dudes could ever
So why you front like the weather, huh?
But I won't let up
Cause I promised forever
But you ain't never satisfied
Girl, I'm getting fed up of your bullshit
Cause I would give my life for ya
Yeah
And it's so hard to spend the night from ya
But all that attitude just makes me get so mad at you
It gets so ugly
We gone make up when this fight's over
Damn, don't you think that it’s unnecessary?
All that shit you put me through, girl, is messing with me
But, shawty, we could get past that
Advance and all that shit we'll leave it in the past tense
[Refrain: Lil Trix]
You know I love you
And I know that, girl, you love me too
But you ain't going through the shit that I've been going through
Sometimes I feel like you're just too blind to see
And girl, I'm trynna do
Everything you want me to
But you don't wanna do
Anything I wanna do
Why must one of us always disagree?
[Chorus: Lil Trix (Versa-Tyle)]
I just can't let you go right now
I just got a whole lotta shit on my mind right now
I just can't let you go right now
(So, me and you, we gone go right 'til forever)
[Chorus: Tatum Bedworth (Versa-Tyle)]
I just can't let you go right now
I just got a whole lotta shit on my mind right now
But I've made up my mind
I won’t leave you behind
(So, me and you, we gone go right 'til forever)
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Trix]
Girl, I know that you and me
We ain't suppose to be together
But I ain't gone break my promises
When I promised you forever
We always fight again and again and make up in the end
And when we make up then we fighting again
But we still feeling like we're living happily ever after
[Outro: Too-Fly]
See, I just feel like...
Like, you trynna test me or something
Like, like when I'm with you, you push me away but when I'm gone, you can't leave me alone
Can't leave me alone
Home is where the heart is
Fuck it, you are my home
But I wake up to a text that says "fuck you"
But we know you pushing buttons so I see, yeah, you did it
I promise we're nothing
I'd rather be nothing with you than something with someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever
You get it?
So we gone go right 'til forever
It's not a love letter
Add the beat to the shit so the song last forever
Too much on my mind
Running outta time
And arguing with you is such a fucking waste of it
But you worth every second of it
Forget that line
What a waste of time
Forget the bullshit but remember me
I said we're nothing
That should say something
Yeah
Love to ashes
Lust to dust
I been gone for a minute
Coming back is a must
I mean, who would leave you behind?
I'm so ahead of my time
Seeing you, I wanna turn back the hands of time
Here we go again
I made my promise
I won't repeat that shit
I'm gone
