[Verse 1]

Dear wifey

I promise you even when we don’t talk

You’ll hear from me

I keep you in my heart so you’ll always be near to me

You play a part so you have nothing to fear, honey

Not at all

I can’t promise you attention

But I can promise you I’ll listen, listen

Regardless of my mood

I promise you support in anything you ever choose to do

My biggest fear is losing you, baby

I promise you, when the balls over

You’re like my first child, that’s when it’s all over

And we’ll start a new beginning together

You know I don’t believe in marriage

But we’ll end it together

Cause for you I could bend my rules

I still get the chills every time my friends mention you

It’s impossible for you to always trust me

But I need you to promise you’ll still love me

[Hook]

Tell me you’ll never leave me

Ain’t no way, it won’t be easy

Tell me you won’t forget us

Tell me you’ll never give up

I promise

Tell me that you’ll hold me down

I promise

Tell me you’ll be around

I promise

Tell me you’ll always stay the same

I promise

Tell me you’ll never change

I promise

[Verse 2]

I promise you that you’re half of the reason that I do this shit

Even though you’re turned off by the music bizz

Just remember that I never lose my cool

And I promise that I’ll use all the money as a tool

Slap me to remind me of my past

If I ever try to act like a fool

I’ll never turn my back on my dudes

Cause I don’t really care about the extra shit

No I’ve never been desperate for a sexy whip

What the people don’t know is

I don’t need to blow

I write songs cause I got emotions

And they need to flow

I promise that I’ll see you on the holidays

And I promise to respond when you call my name

If you ever need somebody to talk to

Tell me where you need to go and I’ll walk you

Cause I’d feel awful if you took away that privilege

I promise you

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for our friendship

Listen..

[Hook]

Tell me you’ll never leave me

Ain’t no way, it won’t be easy

Tell me you won’t forget us

Tell me you’ll never give up

I promise

Tell me that you’ll hold me down

I promise

Tell me you’ll be around

I promise

Tell me you’ll always stay the same

I promise

Tell me you’ll never change

I promise

[Verse 3]

I promise to do whatever it takes to stay happy

Cause success means nothing if you ain’t happy

I can’t promise that you’ll find what you’re looking for

But you gotta keep pushing dog, move forward

And remember, be humble at the end of it all

No matter how much you accomplish, don’t mention it all

Stay open to new things and don’t forget to breathe

When your times comes, don’t forget to leave

Play the background and help another kid live his dreams out

Cause you should truly know what that means now

Tell him that he gotta hold his team down

And keep playing till the games done

Promise that I won’t forget where I came from

Me, John and O, three bullets from the same gun

Sitting 'round the fire, now we’re getting higher

Telling stories of our journey, so our family gets inspired

No matter how tired

Or discouraged you get

Gotta keep grinding

Love whatever you do

And it’ll love you back

I promise
