K-Proetic - Told 'Em All (feat. Val)

I told them all that I had dream, and till this day, it stuck with me
I'll take the cover of a magazine, rap my life and live comfortably
Told them all that I would write these songs, focus hard and write a verse a day
But then again I might be wrong, I'm slipping up yea it's hurts to say
See I told them all that I'd be on the scene, bless the stage, a couple shows a night
Few years later, I'm on your screen, glued to the tube like a Poltergeist
Told them all that I'm a keep it consciousness, make sure everything I speak is honest
Song after song unique and timeless
Mind like Mos, Kweli and Common
I told them all that this will pay the bills
Told them all that I will practice daily
Told them all that I'm a make a mil
Most of y'all are thinking rap will fail me
Told them all I'm bringing all the bruhs
And I know the voyage is long and tough
But what if I ain't strong enough to deal with all this stuff
Niggaz waiting to call my bluff, like damn
All in all I'm a be one hundred
Is finalize what I first started
No matter what I accomplish
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
I told them all that I'd start a label
Sign an artist, get my business right
Or I'll have a couple offers on the table
Read the fine print and pick what's right
Told them all that imma beat the odds
And on Billboard all my tracks appear
Or I'll be sitting across C Tha God
Talking 'bout rumors and my rap career
See I told them all that I will never stop
My life's purpose, this music dream
Keep it locked and we the next to watch
And my heart will bleed on every new release
Told them all I won't scrap my soul
For a plaque that's gold and a platinum glow
Yea you heard him right, I'll never sell my soul
For a neck that glows or a check with Os
But I told them really want this, told them all I'll be applauded
Told them all I'll make a profit
All my goals will be accomplished
Told them all I'll keep my promise
But am I being honest, seeking validation from an industry that's haunted
Seems so daunting, will I be a stronger artist
Or be searching for peace with a broken compass like damn
All in all, I'm a be one hundred
Is finalize what I first started
No matter what I accomplish
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
No matter what, no matter what
I just wanna keep my promise
It doesn't matter what they say
