Promise

There's a voice in my head
And I promise myself
On my own and the thing of it is
They, they say what doesn't kill you
I'm the only one who will believe me
And I promise myself

Telling me I know my right from wrong
I'll keep moving even when the beat is gone
I'm gonna do my own thing, yeah, I'm flying solo
To the life that you see me in
Even though it don't always come easy
I'll keep doing what I gotta do to carry on

Of me and myself and I
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
And there comes a time when I gotta say goodbye
Even though it don't always come easy
And the time is come and I gotta say goodbye
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Telling me come on, come on, move on
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
Can make you strong, now I know what it means
Promise myself

Even though it don't always come easy
And I promise myself

So don't hold me down 'cause I'm gonna fly

I'm the only one who will believe me
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Promise myself
Do it my way, that's what I say
But you ain't breaking my dreams
I'll stay cool 'cause I know who's boss
I will, I'm on, I won't
Promise myself

To the life that you see me in
Here's where I begin

Do it my way, that's what I say

That I'm gonna miss
I won't, I will, I'm on
There's nothing 'round here
Promise myself
'Cause you're holding me down, I just wanna fly
Even though it don't always come easy
And I promise myself
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
Do it my way, that's what I say

And I promise myself
And I promise myself

You can try to bend

Here's where I begin
I'm the only one who will believe me
And I promise myself
I'll be tumbling down but like MC shake it off

So don't tell me how it's gonna be
I'll be making mistakes, coming up at a loss
And I promise myself

There's a voice in my head
What you think about this?
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
Do it my way, that's what I say
