lirik lagu eon vii - a promise

verse:

ok
now this is a song…not about me…but about…somebody i know….and i hope he hears this….i hope i can help
(black)
i promised i’d be smarter
hopeless life of fighting putting violence over honor
talking bout these women like i’ve always been a charmer
treating them like cr~p if you don’t love me you a goner
being locked up in a cell but really time is always serving
selling drugs like it was normal on the black surface
of the streets we call thе hood but it’s the projects for a purpose
thе blacks ain’t doing nothing but in reality we working
we don’t care about the money it’s the experience we earning
running into houses glass thrown into the dirt and
looking up at god and hoping he don’t close the curtains
cuz if we get caught our lives are done that’s for certain
swimming in a pool of sin don’t seem like it’s hurting
but time don’t stop for us we thinking white life’s eternal
the black time stops the whites keep the clock turning white promises have meaning only if the blacks learning
so be honest

chorus
(give it what you got (repeat))
so be honest
cuz that’s a promise

verse:

(white)
he promised i’d be better
seen the ignorance of darkness so i’m more clever
rarely threw a punch i used my arms to write letters
if you got it then you died but still it taught you to never
mess with me but i can see how we can be so similar
if we act the same then we would have the same temperature
since we in this cell i might as well learn to live with ya
if we sit in silence then we’ll never get the bigger picture
i remember how it was when my parents showed that they loved me
had everything i wanted and the issue wasn’t money
i used to sit and watch television shows about hunting
the only things i thought was funny when b.e.t was running
but now i see things differently we really are the same
the same human being holstering a different brain
when we both get up outta here i hope we cross lanes
and remember when we separate we both gotta change
and that’s a promise

chorus
(give it what you got (repeat))
so be honest
cuz that’s a promise
so be honest
verse:

over time i started praying
then things turned around like life was persuading
me to be a better person things started changing
i got the scholarships for college and after i made it
amazing what i thought was an empty promise changed my life
and to be honest he was white so i thought he wasn’t right
now i see the light
race isn’t something worth the fight
you see the black during the day but white during the night
so we equal x3
