PrinceRoc - I Promise

INTRO:
Aye, Aye turn me up...
Yeah...
Just let me speak Yi...
I gotta do this
Aye, this one for SUMTER!

CHORUS:
I'm trying to do something that they never seen...
Give my city hope, a person that they can believe...
On bended knees, these raps I'm trying to inspire...
A diamond in the rough, a match ignites the fire!

VERSE:
Sitting here waiting on my coronation
Others rappers they all talk
They conversations
Gave my heart,
This industry I'm taking for granted
Tryin to fix this broken genre
Completely damaged
These days all you rap about is trap life, gang bangin'
I ain't never did that shit so how can I relate to it
Brothers still incarcerated, fucked over by the justice system
Cops killing us one by one, it's genocide to the melanin!
Dear lord,

CHORUS:
I'm trying to do something that they never seen...
Give my city hope, a person that they can believe...
On bended knees, these raps I'm trying to inspire...
A diamond in the rough, a match ignites the fire!

HOOK:
Oh God, Oh God!!
Oh God, Oh God!!
Am I the one, the chosen one
To overcome these odds, he said
Keep doing ya thing, I promise ya city be up on da map
Last night i was a legend,
Tonight I feel like a SUMTER God
I promise!

VERSE:
Woke up this morning anointed
Ya boy's extremely blessed
All that bullshit ya talkin'
You can just put that to rest
Half of my city got flooded
You niggas sat back and did nothing
Bunch of legends in the streets
All of you niggas corrupted by money
Racism, discrimination
Satan living in the corporations
Anybody know God no more
The bible preaching sermons of hatred
Our morals, our integrity, got jaded with liberty
All I see is hell on earth!
What happened to this country??
Forget ya justice, forget ya freedom
Cuz in this world were still not equal
Why 400 years flew by and all my people of color still livin' in chains??
I am ashamed, no sick to my stomach
Am I the only one asking for change??
United we stand, divided we fall
So all my people you need to wake up!!
C'mon

CHORUS:
I'm trying to do something that they never seen...
Give my city hope, a person that they can believe...
On bended knees, these raps I'm trying to inspire...
A diamond in the rough, a match ignites the fire!

HOOK:
Oh God, Oh God!!
Oh God, Oh God!!
Am I the one, the chosen one
To overcome these odds, he said
Keep doing ya thing, I promise ya city be up on da map
Last night I was a legend,
Tonight I feel like a SUMTER God
I promise!

CHORUS:
I'm trying to do something that they never seen...
Give my city hope, a person that they can believe...
On bended knees, these raps I'm trying to inspire...
A diamond in the rough, a match ignites the fire!
