Man With a Promise Lyrics

A man with a promise smashes down my door
He sees a future with me, he's gonna give me more
"Give all your trust, I'm sure you won't regret
Just sign the dotted line, and I'll do so the rest"
He says I can't make it alone, not without him
But I've always been on my own, he doesn't know who I am
And now I'm starting to see just what you are to me

Pre-chorus I:
You feed off the art that I bleed
You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me
A man broke his promise and he wants reparations
He sold me up the river, caused me grief and frustration
I gave him all my trust and got stabbed in the back
A lucky motherfucker that he hasn't yet been whacked
You ain't no fuckin' artist, spend your life exploiting others
Try all you want, you can't break me or my brothers
A business man vulture, no honor, no class
Take your money and your lawyers and shove 'em up your ass

Pre-chorus II:
You feed off the art that I bleed
Numbers to you is just pain to me

Chorus:
Now the tables are turned
Can't you see motherfucker that you've been burned
You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me
You ain't shit to me
Lead
Pre-chorus II
