Empty Promises - Cormega

To make dough, stay low, don’t purchase big things

Just purchase big on the first and fifteenth

Too much attention alerts the police

Stay low, don’t do dirt where you sleep

Move right and you better learn your peeps

Who mourn like they move white and work with D’s

They will take the weight when they need consignment

But won’t take the weight of a secret indictment

They can’t hold secrets, watch who you speak with

Or you’ll be doin' time in the pen, not the ink one

Disloyal and they’ll switch on you, claimin' they’ll die for you

They don’t even live for you

They phony and they’ll show they ass to shit on you

Only to blow they cash and live off you

If you let 'em, it’s good for you

And bad karma, a lot of people lack honor

They heart is empty as they pant’s pockets, uh

Say what you mean and mean what you say

Empty promises hold no weight

Measure pros and cons

Always show regard to those who show love, talk less, and listen more

A man with everything that lacks integrity is morally bankrupt

You can’t buy dignity

The wilder side fools grasp for petty things

Words ain’t real if they lack sincerity

Those who never seek never find anything

My relentless pursuit got me seein' better things

You can’t compare givin' hope to sellin' dreams

I’m free, not a puppet on the Devil strings

I got a lot more to see than negative energy

It’s counterproductive to where I wanna be

Somewhere on a beach with clear water seem to wash away my sins

I pray toward East

I was at war with myself now I’m way more at peace

Since I came full circle, that’s better shape to see

Every day’s a day closer to the essence, indeed

In a race against time, you would never take the lead

Say what you mean and mean what you say

Empty promises hold no weight

Measure pros and cons

Always show regard to those who show love, talk less, and listen more

Say what you mean and mean what you say

Empty promises hold no weight

Measure pros and cons

Always show regard to those who show love, talk less, and listen more
