Lupe Fiasco - Promise Lyrics

Meal deal asses

I stay away from people lupe

Who still bumpin this shit 💯💯💯😈

Lupe never seems to disappoint himself, always coming with something different

As a straight up, stand up MAN, you can't deny this as a theme song... NO CHANCE!!

❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This shit go 7-10

My favorite song on the album

Lupe said this song had some of his wackest lyrics he ever wrote. i quote..."wack asf"

Lupe trolled hard on this track

Honestly, R. KELLY -I ADMIT brought me here

"PROMISE"💯

Sound like a DJ Paul and juicy j beat

This song slaps. Should have way more views.

Lupe still got the same style since day one & with each hook to the song 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You gotta a special kinda nigga to not see what he's doing here lol

give lupe spme metro boomin production and he'll kill the game

You "Promise"?

Promise slow

Outstanding talent.

Calling out the illuminati in this one

Still got most of this album in my playlist/workout list - I can't listen to them new (W)rappers.

second fav song on Drogas, this is bangin'

finally dumbed it down

Listen to the lyrics...he's 'keepin it honest'...meaning he doesn't have to follow trends to get a following..."I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober..."...the message is there if y'all just listen to the lyrics...& he mockin the trendy flow...it's typical 21st century wanna be rapper style...Lupe & Cole need a collabo...

I love you Lupe. Your dance skills are on point 👌🏽

I love Lupe man I put this on my instagram @ plantbasedbboy

The instrumental goes so hard, sheesh

this is a beautiful song. i disagree wit u Lu... this aint trash. the beauty is the minimalism, what is said in the spaces between the lines. " i try to do good cuz i dont like the karma/but u never kno so i bought me some armour". how is this not one of the realest lines?

Versace Versace Versace

Face palm c'mon Lupe this not you

My dad song

Did Zico sample from this song to make his single '' tough cookie'' ?

Sorry I meant Okey dokey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFsS59DkFhc

hip-hop is the shit

feels like migos should be on the adlibs

Even Lupe said this song was trash

The beat is Next level

I'm Keepin' my bars up, I'm keepin' bars up. I try to do good cause I don't like the karma, but you never know so I bought me some armor. 🔥🔥🔥.

need video for this ft future! idkw

lu your the truth bro

My best song
awesome props lupe

1:53
LMFAOOOOOOOO

점프보다 이곡이 더좋다..

lupe fiasco is such a fucking lame

Tiiiiiiiii ping'nnn ?

Lupe came back in the best fashion possible. If I were to guess how he would return, and what his new album would be about, MY GUESS WOULDA NEVER BEEN ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS! so dope........ fresh, dope, and current! so much competition right now, and Lupe didn't copy anyone, and kept his sense of style - not washed out, still relevant!

I remember back in the day in Dumb it Down Lupe said, I refuse, I ain't dumb down nothin. Well, he sure did dumb it down for this song, maybe for some of the slower hop hop fans. I'm not mad, it's kind of funny. Rest of the album is dope. Lupe is one of the greats

It's garbage it's garbage it's GARBAGE

real music for real ppl lol don't stop grinding lupe

🍉❤

Xxx should make a collab with Lupe in the same style.

Sick beat and could've kept the hook but he could've gone off SO hard on this....

[Chorus]
Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin' off, they cannot keep it

[Verse 1]
Honest, I'm crossin' my heart and I'm hopin' to die
I promise, I promise, and they don't know why
I promise, I promise, I don't be gettin' high
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober
No champagne, no vodka, no, none of that, man
Tell you I keep me a heater, I keep me a heater, believe it
I won't lead 'em wrong, said I won't lead 'em wrong
They know what I'm on, and they know what I'm on

[Chorus]
I promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin' off, they cannot keep it


[Verse 2]
Promise (yeah)
I ran through the paper, I ran through the paper (yeah)
I bought me Ferraris, I bought me some haters
More money, more problems, more money, more problems
But I got the choppers and I will go solve 'em
I try keep it peaceful, I try keep it peaceful
And stay away from people, I stay away from people
Be solo, be solo, my niggas is gone (yeah)
When I'm not in the streets you can find me at home

[Chorus]
Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin off, they cannot keep it


[Verse 3]
Honest (yeah)
I ran with the killers, the hustlers and gamblers (yeah)
I'm telling you Sway that I do have the answers (yeah)
Just ask me a question, I'll give you the truth (yeah)
I got me a Benzy, it ain't got a roof
I'm smart but I'm poor, yeah, I'm smart but I'm poor (yeah)
I'm keepin' my bars up, keepin' my bars up (yeah)
I try to do good 'cause I don't like the karma
But you never know so I bought me some armor

[Chorus]
Promise, yeah
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, yeah
I promise these niggas ain't honest
Promise, but I keep it real
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a hundred, I promise
I keep it a thousand, I promise
I keep it ten thousand, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
I'm keepin' it honest, I'm keepin' it honest, I promise
Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
'Cause niggas, they know that they need it
I think that they fallin off, they cannot keep it
Honest

Ayeeeee💃🏾💃🏾

repeated because we do need it, the truth, honesty, and keepin promises are the best traits of good character ! lupe is legend for this

Everyboys talkin bout Futures flute in mask off but what bout this violin? This shit dumb hard. Ain't no sample either

Best song on the album by far. Don't know what it is about this track, but it's just sick. It's like Lupe's taken the style and flow that's so popular at the moment and show everyone how to use it.

I love this nigga smh

not a joke...Yal just goofy... dope music people

He making music for his Japanese fan base. I promise.

Here before this blows up.

Knowing and loving Lupe's far more heady material, I have to say I enjoyed the mantra-like simplicity and repetitiveness of this song as a drastic change of pace.

lol only 77, 293 views... deserves more

"okey dokey-Zico, Song Min Ho" very same...

Promise!

I hate that lupe is so slept on. I LOVE this track and he ain't even trying, kinda music that just comes to mind when you not thinking about anything specifically.

not many rappers that can fuck with Lupe lyrically, dead or alive

Imo lyrically yes, spiritually though no..

Lupe fiasco said the bars on this track are wack and lyrically inferior to most people's.

Can't see past the grey!? This master brains is the dopest! All true love bro! Break free from this fake ass music industry. You know what's up. Break it down to a tee cup bro!

lol r u kidding,,,? this song is nothing special lyrically

He dumb it down like the main stream artist do thats wats its so complex & still greater than other artist

That "Jump" Track Woke Me Up on Lupe "BEAST" It don't matter Future or Drake, They Better leave this Dude Alone

lupe gets hated hard on for LASERS and Drogas lite but these are simple but Lyrical as fuck. I promise

Calcee Slade Aha this is so true. I liked LASERS myself though.

I bet everyone in the studio were laughing there asses off including lupe

lupe the #1 trapartist

bro i can't stand listening to albums on YouTube anymore there's an add between every freaking song

Jo Pa You would think, you would be able to spell Ad, since it appears so much.

@KingCole The III​ you would think you'd know how to properly form a sentence without so many unnecessary commas, being that you're such a wise ass. Its called auto correct. Now go back to huffing your gas can you fucking ass hat.

@Jo Pa​ Unnecessary is inaccurate. I place a comma, whenever I take a pause in the sentence. Therefore, the reader gets the full affect, when they aren't reading what I type. But, I KNOW you are talking about me not being able to form a proper sentence when you didn't even capitalize the "you" at the beginning of your sentence. Lastly, and most importantly, to help make yourself not look like a complete dumbass, they made an edit option for a reason. Try it next time.

Save the paragraphs. Go fuck yourself

King cockface

haha my mans raw taking the piss! BIG UP Lupe! one of the rare ones!

Welp, going to this concert on the 28th of April Seattle. Thank you for another soundtrack of my life Mr. Wasalu Jaco.

/stankface yeeeeeuuhhhhh

something this good can't be contained. it had to be made. it had to be turned loose

LUPE THE GOAT!!!

My fav off the album when i first heard it i repeated the intro so many times before listening to the whole song
this is fire !

wow bro 😎😎

i try to keep it peaceful I stay away from people WORD

REAL rapper doing REAL things. All hail Lupe !

come one lupe what the hell are you doing man you better be just trolling

This track reminds me of Meek Mill's "R.I.C.O." feat Drake.
Produced by Vinylz & Cubebeatz.
That bass & kick drum almost the same.
Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

mikedabeast360 also a great fan of that beat

Yall flat out lyin if you say drake would not have done that beat more justice..mad respect to lupe tho album still fire

''Is that true? Yes okey dokey yo
Is that true? Yes okey dokey yo
Jeongmallo? Yes okey dokey yo''

WHO Get the reference??

I love this tracc Lupe. For real you took the new school and did a Lupe. Lol Great Work

This was a smooth listen. Lu to the world! #1stN15th #Drogas

What happened to Lupe :(

He did this on purpose... sort of a mockery of todays rap i guess
or it could be like Lowkey - Who Said I Can't Do Grime

ALI ESSA What do you mean? This song is fire imo! L.U.P. the man!

It really isn't. But apparently he agrees with me he basically said the album was garbage and a middle finger to his old record label. This was the last he was obligated to make where they got a cut...

best song of the album, keepin it 100 i promise

Lupe such a legend every style of his is awesome.. the lyrics is fucking good i don't know what to say such a legend

I keep me a heat I keep me a heater, believe me I'll beat it

Who else got hooked when listenin to the beat?

me me me lol

this song sounds like it was written for Drake, but he didn't want it so Lupe was like, fuck it, I'll do it myself, AND I'll low key diss you in it

Stephanie Araiza this song is lupe only drake is weak

Stephanie Araiza I swear when I first heard this I thought it was drake on the hook

Stephanie Araiza trueee

Stephanie Araiza but I think lupe is better at it

stephanie this an old post but thats retarted, don't diss lupe like that

got be one of Lupe best songs I know u been him for a long time he do another collaboration with Snow tha product

people don't understand that this is just the first part of his 3 part album, he's just making a chill album to jam to for his fans, not only that these songs are mostly stuff he had in his vault when he was with Atlantic. This album is not to be taken seriously, i think this is an album to make fun of the trash rappers today that make a trap beat and simple lyrics and become a hit, he's just making fun of that. This album is great for what it is, and if you say he sold out then you really haven't listened to the words in the songs.

If you want some real lyrical Lupe then just wait for Drogas album. Honestly, i love the album and i don't blame Lupe for wanting to make DROGAS LIGHT an album to just jam to, he doesn't always want come off as a preachy artist lyrical artist. Let him dumb it down a little...this album the type to smoke to and just jam, I agree with Lupe, it's a 7/10.

Recr It's still pretty good.
