Ay what up up jah
Ay yo im wit my nigga young john dough
And I just cooked up
We just cooked this fuckin beat up
Like this my first beat
Like im fuckin curry
And I passed the ball to my nigga rondo nigga
On God
I gotchu bro
Nigga this the promise land
That's all I gotta say
This the first beat I ever made nigga
Okay you still finding life outside, what u used to
She just wanna nigga dawg
You just got the new coup
Seen her in the streets still
Must not want a happy home
I just popped like three pills
None of em was Tylenol
Ibuprofen I be hopin that y'all niggas really joking
Hoes chase a player and a player chase a bag
Player hating on me watching fun dawg they livin sad
Damn dawg why you mad?
Oh she did you like that?
Ran back to yo ex I thought y'all disconnected
Man she so cuckoo
Turn off the wifi
Turn off the bluetooth
Crib lookin like a trap
I started from the scraps
Young nigga you know im a star
I started hustling hard
Smoked my way to the promise land
Liquor hit my system
Im getting way more confident
Lookin in the mirror
Aint no way these niggas stopping him
I can't sit I gotta stand
Damn shawty where ya man?
I'll take ya to the promise land
Baby lemme take you to the promise land
I can't sit I gotta stand
Lookin in the mirror
Aint no way these niggas stopping him
I can't sit I gotta stand
Baby lemme take you to the promise land
Baby lemme take you to the promise land
Baby lemme take you to the promise land
Like baby
Like baby
Where ya man at?
That nigga aint here
Lets fuckin win
I don't wanna have to go thru all that shii again
You know we just gettin money and this life a sin
Chain glistening lookin like a chandelier
She got top me up nigga
Aint nobody here
Just give me the feeling like you aint goin nowhere
Take you back to the streets if you really wanna go there
But why you wanna go there?
I heard its cold there
Wanna put your legs on another nigga shoulders
I heard what you said, did you hear what I told ya?
Feel like everyday that my heart getting colder
Idek ya
These hoes chase a player and I don't even want no more
You still finding life outside, what you used to
She just wanna nigga dawg
You just got the new coup
Seen her in the streets still
Must not want a happy home
I just popped like three pills
None of em was Tylenol
Ibuprofen I be hopin that y'all niggas really joking
Hoes chase a player and a player chase a bag
Player hating on me watching fun dawg they livin sad
Damn dawg why you mad?
Oh she did you like that?
Ok it's young John dough
I'm the next Hugh Hefner
Don't playboy just know that we next up
Complainin bout a dude
Damn I'm glad that you said some
She so transparent
She was naked when I met her
Gah damn, yeah she bonafide
Always tellin me, what you wanna try?
I'm always on the low so I gotta slide
IG DM gotta check her
Like I'm tryna get her verified
Jah's first beat, and that shii hot
Yeah we young money til that bedrock
Nah we SD since that sandbox
Tryna run game like the sandlot
Call me lord of fly with this wingspan
I hover over ladies tryna reach this




Came a long way for the promise land
And we on the way, we can promise that

Line by Line Meaning

I turn back the hands of time
Reflect on my past experiences


To see what ive left behind
Look back and remember my past


All the memories within my heart
Nostalgic experiences that I keep in my heart


and deep within my mind
Memories that have a profound impact


i see all the hardships ive endured
Realize the challenges I have faced


and i rest assured that youll be there beside me
I feel comforted knowing that you will always be with me


like youve always been time and again
Just like you have always been there in the past


And with all thats said and done
After everything I have been through


youve always been the one
You have been the constant guide and support


to hold me on those rainy days
To be my support system during difficult times


when i couldnt see the sun
During dark and tough times


and when all the clouds dissappear
When things start to clear up


and the sky is clear
Everything starts to look sunnier


and i feel your love shining down on me
When I feel your unconditional love


without your love where would i be
I cannot imagine surviving without your love


you were the one
You are the one and only


who wiped the tears from my eyes
You were the one to comfort me when I was sad


it was your love that gave me light through my darkest time
Your love guided me through my tough times


what youve given me i can never repay
I can never fully repay you for all that you have done


all i could give to you is my loving embrace
All I can offer you is my love


'cause i live to see the smile upon your face
Seeing you happy gives me a reason to live


day by day
Every day of my life


I promise to go on
I promise to keep fighting


until my race is won
Till I achieve success


and the knowledge you have given me
The values you have taught me


i give to those i love
I pass these values to the people I care for


and ive learned that if i do succeed
If I can achieve my goals


then i shall recieve the promise of a brighter day
Then, I will be rewarded with a brighter tomorrow


you give me hope, you give me faith
You are the source of my hope and faith


you were the one
You are the only one for me


what youve done for me i can never repay
I cannot repay what you have done for me


so i live my life ???
I will live my life to the fullest


'cause i live to see the smile upon your face
I cherish your happiness


your love has always pulled me through
Your love has helped me overcome my obstacles


and when i felt the hope was gone it was only you
You are the only one who gave me hope in dark times


until my dying day my heart will always be
Till my last breath, I will hold you in my heart


and im so thankful for all the love yourve given me
I am grateful for all the love you have bestowed on me


now i see
Now, I understand


and i wont i promise you today
I will not fail you, I promise today


'cause id die to see the tears come down your face
I cannot bear to see you sad and cry


so i live in you i will live in your name
I will carry you with me every step of my life


the rest of my days...
For the rest of my life


dont u cry no more..
Do not worry, things will be alright
