Broken Promise

Lyrics

I remember larensin where you have your family house Where we moved into Coming from the east to the south Where I first laid my hand in LAG OS, thoughts of you make tears choke my chest The early 80's I was just a baby But your face is still clear Cus i used to see you on a daily Coming back from school was cool You taught me how to put up a fight Even if beaten black or blue George I feel you Cus part of you was still with me My favorite cousin remember the First time you whipped me You opеned up a lesson for little kids I was onе of em You did something different You brought me just like all of em Next thing I heard you was going to America As a kid I couldn't understand what was wrong with Africa If I know what would happen I would have held you back Boy now you're gone And i can't get you back You promised me That you would always be here You promised me That you was gon take care You promised me That you would come back here But now you're gone Now you're nowhere near You promised me That you was gonna watch me grow You promised me That you was gon see me blow You promised me And death had to make you go You promised me, you promised me Now you're gone Remember when you fought that bus driver Driver **** You did what you had to do You handled your biz You scratched your face on the road During the scuffle the struggle bloody But you went through the trouble That's the kind of man you was I respected you my better bros I adored you and yours A couple of years later you came back with gifts F the presents all I cared about was your physical presence Then you went back and I started to miss you When I remembered the stuff you told me that happened to you The next thing I heard you was dead I heard of how you bled I couldn't get the pictures in my head You was the first person close to me to die I didn't cry, all I ask was was why One up for death cus his cold hands squeezed you But make us even cus in my heart I still keep you You promised me That you would always be here You promised me That you was gon take care You promised me That you would come back here But now you're gone Now you're nowhere near You promised me That you was gonna watch me grow You promised me That you was gon see me blow You promised me And death had to make you go You promised me, you promised me Now you're gone Lots of times I asked myself why death had to take you If it was meant to be Then why did God create you If it was only for him to take you again You was a good start that had a terrible end Sometimes it hurts so bad I wish that I could do it all Master of the whole earth Power over all So I could turn the hand of time And bring you back Breathe life into your longs And watch you ball like sheck You were my own super star My own super hero My personal thug My own don chichio I looked up to you cus the vibe you sent was good You left at a time the hood was all good Now its all messed up Fences everywhere Every house is like a prison Every rich nigga is scared One minute you're chilling The next minute you're running from Cops or robbers or some fetching mother You promised me That you would always be here You promised me That you was gon take care You promised me That you would come back here But now you're gone Now you're nowhere near You promised me That you was gonna watch me grow You promised me That you was gon see me blow You promised me And death had to make you go You promised me, you promised me
