made a promise to my baby that i'll never raise my voice
i'll never make that choice
growin' up i saw my share of broken promises
i didn't hear enough apologies
i saw momma's heart break
feel like i'm on frozen water when i walk around it
and i know i have my demons
was addicted to the skin up on my screen but then i beat it
you see a crowd of people that be clapping when they see us
but you wouldn't know this pain until you strappin' up these tevas
i turned from a savage to a leader
i done hurt a lot of people
now i'm tryin' to lend an ear
hopped so many flights that i might go out like aaliyah
i can't go out like madea
told her please don't shed a tear
then i'm tryna right my wrongs
so i write 'em down for real
so i write 'em down for real
told her please don't shed a tear
i'm tryna right my wrongs
so i write 'em down for real
could've been with better judgement
soul resembles dirty laundry at the bottom of my hamper
we ain't even talking 'less i brought lil' bro some pampers
heard you calling out for me
ask his iphone 8 when it didn't take some water damage
i reflect on what you needed yet i couldn't make a transfer
see you briefly with a package
overbearing was on you 'cause i pulled up with baggage
out to make amends today for any of the damage
i'm appreciative of all the love we were able to salvage
tryna right my wrongs so i write 'em down for real
told her please don't shed a tear
tryna right my wrongs so i write 'em down for real
tryna right my wrongs so i write 'em down for real
told her please don't shed a tear
tryna right my wrongs so i write 'em down for real
