Promises

[Intro]
Yeah, what cha'all wanna do?
At cha' one mo' time, nahmean?
But this time, you ain't gonna be makin' no more promises

[Chorus]
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean

[Verse 1]
I gave you the world
And you tried to give it back
Tell me what is goin' on
There was nothing wrong
With you lovin' me right back
Then I turned around and you're gone

[Pre-Chorus]
You told me that your love was real and now
And I believed you, I believed you, oh, baby
Now I'm convinced that we don't feel the same
'Cause you're so far away, and I miss my baby
So, no

[Chorus]
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean

[Verse 2]
There's no other girl who I'd let take advantage
Of all my time and energy
You claimed you loved me, girl
Then you creep behind my back
I thought we were meant to be

[Pre-Chorus]
You told me that your love was real and now
And I believed you, I believed you
Now I'm convinced that we don't feel the same
'Cause you're so far away, and I miss my baby
Come on, baby

[Chorus]
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean

[Verse 3: Shelene]
Yo, yo, you got me heated but I stay undefeated
'Cause I can't take the bull
What, whatcha gon' do what, I brings it on
Forget the clones, it's all 'bout me
Now I'm showin' off, gettin' off, blowin' freakin' minds off
You're petty, don't make me flip, 'cause you're slippin'
Intermission, I'm ever ready servin' whippings
It's like, oh no, what you lying 'bout D.L. is all out
You can't get with it, so quit, you're illigit'
No doubt 'bout it, word is bond
I'm lethal, can't nothin' get past me but weeks gone
I remain jiggy with the illiest flow
So niggas wise up and act like you know
You tried to play me, Shelene ain't havin' it
Tyrese ain't havin' it
So sing your song, make 'em never forget
Don't promise if you can't deliver
How you figure, now I'm steaming
I got you trippin' in your scheme, what?

[Chorus]
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
Don't make promises that you cannot keep
Don't say things that you don't really mean
