They say a promise is a comfort to a fool inna real life
And I would lose my respect if I let too much ting slide
They say a promise is a comfort to a fool
Loyalty my number one rule
If I never ask yuh then please don't promise it
Don't run yuh mouth if yuh can't help me manage it
I rather starve to death than beg for a crumb or be jealous of a next man ting
I only party with my real close friends that be happy when I get my wins
I know I won't forget how it feels to be broke
Cause I wouldn't wanna be that again
Once I get my money up
The people I love the most
They going be set set set
Once I get my riches they going be set set set
Friends and my family going be set set set
The man dem that help me going be set set
Cheers to the people I love the most
Cause they going be set
Nuff time yea I swear I going buss but it never really happen that way
Nuff time I been dead outta luck long time I shoulda been paid
Some people can't take the fact that I know wa I want
I could never be played
But I'm still moving up in life
Meanwhile they stuck throwing me shade
And I know not everybody going like me
People going do ting to spite me
And I know one day they sweet like Hi-C
Next day they moving real sheisty
Highly unlikely that I'd ask my neighbor for a favor
But sometimes friend move just like stranger
Jah Jah done teach me
Teach me to be humble
And work for my own bread
Never settle for crumbles
I rather starve to death than beg for a crumb or be jealous of a next man ting
I only party with my real close friends that be happy when I get my wins
I know I won't forget how it feels to be broke
Cause I wouldn't wanna be that again
Once I get my money up
The people I love the most
They going be set set set
Once I get my riches they going be set set set
Friends and my family going be set set set
The man dem that help me going be set set
Cheers to the people I love the most
Cause they going be set
