"PROMISES"
II TRU
Nothin' but the best females caught in the midst of promises.
But a nigga can't fade me. AJay got my back, [On the real, though.]
and kept it tightly.
Jhaz:
Promises on real, I done heard so many say, "II Tru, we want you to sign
this rap deal." [Straight up.] Still smilin'-faced foes, theys can't
give me no ends though. Impress 'em hoes, then let my click come down
in Benzos. I still pity for those that are taked. These here
the dopest females, and in this rap game, we dominate. See, in other
cities, behind closed doors, they smile in your face, and call you hoes.
Those of you know who you are. Playa hatin' bustas, purebred,
so I guess you played your part. From start to end, AJay click peeped
your game. Believe your weed ain't enough to buy some trues, man.
Reminiscin' back past to the day when we was cool, but you underestimated
mentals of a real-ass true. Empty promises'll get you nowhere. I'm
on that other level. To my dying day, AJay and II Tru, forever
Nothin' but the best females caught in the midst of promises.
But a nigga can't fade me. AJay got my back, [On the real, though.]
and kept it tightly.
Brina:
Nothin' but the best females caught in the midst of promises, tryin'
to get on in this rap game, but the fools ain't about their business. What
is this, dog? You've been runnin' your grill on the real, talkin' 'bout
what you gon' do for my crew, but yet and still, we gots no deal. I
feel ya, and it's true, comin' like a playa to ya, straight from the heart,
dog. No beatin' 'round the bush. I'm about my paper. Mistake
your con, see we put a little trust up front, you perpin' like it's on. We
about to roll. Royalties gon' bring some bucks, but what? What's
the hold up? Yeah, AJay's ready to rumble. Arch-dog and II Tru,
since 92, so we maintain humble to your game. But the plan made
from the get-go done got changed. Want to split AJay from II Tru, instead
of leavin' things the same. What a shame, many promises made, came
through with a contract. Read in between the lines, put you in a bind,
sista really can't sign that. Bet all that bull you talkin', AJay comin'
up in the game, regardless. Broken promises said to a true done got
us comin' up heartless.
Nothin' but the best females caught in the midst of promises.
But a nigga can't fade me. AJay got my back, [On the real, though.]
and kept it tightly.
Brina:
Tell me, am I wrong or what? Didn't you say some money up front
for us trues to sign the dotted-line? Go in debt, then blow you up
in this rap game. It was all good to a playa, like I let your hand
show, runnin' off at the flapper, then got you in the midst of a lingo.
Even yet, though, you was on a mission with visions of knockin' booty.
Excuse me, II Tru ain't comin' in [We ain't even goin' down like that.]
on a (?). Trues with lyrics for days, it's no mistake, would've got
your pay back. Right off the dream of real figures, if we rolled on
the same page, dog. Was your intentions to break up this bond, fool?
Smoke weed with II Tru, take advantage of a sister, then be through?
Must check you, you can go on' and playa hate. AJay can handle
this. It's a fool's move to try to break up this tight click.
Jhaz:
Look at this fool, thinkin' he spittin' game, but if I might confess:
impressed not. Nonetheless, your mouth be shoutin', when compared to
the best. Promises, many times I done heard that "your word is your
honor," wastin' time and money to impress some trues when a real fool wouldn't
even bother. No holler for ya, no love either. Shyste one on
the creep, who lick from so far back I was solo, just makin' debut release
[pushin' Darkside]. In the streets, spreadin' dirt, tryin' to hurt
two trues 'cause they won't convert. Recognize, dog. AJay, baby,
click thick, come to put in work. We backdoor for y'all foes on the
down low, risin'. Open your eyes and you will soon realize it's [You
ain't know?] AJay, II Tru forever. Promises made, kept true, bein'
real with it, and like those of you who chose to come brand new. We
cruise and it ain't no need to mention names. I'm a end mines. It's
just so many promises in this rap game. Understand?
Nothin' but the best females caught in the midst of promises.
But a nigga can't fade me. AJay got my back, [On the real, though.]
and kept it tightly.
