Promise Songtext
von Fiona

Little Harry was a bright little boy
So smart, so cute, fascinated with toys
Never thought how his future would turn out
Not without a doubt, never without a doubt, no
At fifteen he found his mother on her knees
Begging God, please
Trying to find an ease to her pain

Oh, her suffering

He said, "No more, mama get up off the floor
I′m gonna do what I need
Gonna make sure you live to see a better day"

I'll do right by you, mama
I know I had to choose, mama
Do I walk the path of righteousness
Or pick up the knife and guns?
I′ll do right by you, mama
And I promise you, mama
I'll take heed to the sacrifices you made
So I can see a better day


Jenny, she was a good girl in school
You've heard it all before
You know she broke the rules
She met a man and she thought he was the world
He gives her what she wants, nothing she deserves
She fell in love, that is what she thought at first
Now she feels the hurt, calls him dish or dirt
For a girl she calls a friend
How soon that ends

Now she found out that she′s having a baby
Mama′s upset and it's driving her crazy
Can′t find food, feed the two, a we a know
We haffi work it out before time fi the baby come around
No more, never let mama down before
I know just what to do
Soon as the baby comes, I'm going back to school
So now my little girl will know to follow the rules

I′ll do right by you, mama
I know I had to choose, mama
Do I walk the path of righteousness
Or pick up the knife and guns?
I'll do right by you, mama
And I promise you, mama
I′ll take heed to the sacrifices you made
So I can see a better day

So many youths, you know?
Have the choice


I'll do right by you, mama
I know I had to choose, mama
Do I walk the path of righteousness
Or pick up the knife and guns?
I'll do right by you, mama
And I promise you, mama
I′ll take heed to the sacrifices you made
So I can see a better day

So now you see the rules of the game
You play the cards you′re dealt
It's not an easy play
All you have to do is focus on your goals
Never sell your soul
Don′t you sell your soul
They say no more, never let mama down before
I'm gonna do what I need
Gonna make sure you live to see a better day

I′ll do right by you, mama
I know I had to choose, mama
Do I walk the path of righteousness
Or pick up the knife and guns?
I'll do right by you, mama
And I promise you, mama
I′ll take heed to the sacrifices you made
So I can see a better day

I'll do right by you
I'll take care of you
Do I walk in the path of righteousness
Or pick up the knife and guns?
I′ll do right by you, my mama
And I promise you
