Forgotten Promises - Sami Yusuf

One more time across the empty sea Promise me that you won't sleep One more cigarette and I'll let you be Who the hell am I? Oh who the hell am I? And if I was a bird I could teach you how to fly But I'll stay right here I once heard that everything dies Forget me forgotten Forget me forgotten I stuck a knife in my side They tell me death doesn't hurt But I think they lied Because I'm still empty inside Oh I'm still empty inside And if I was a bird I could teach you how to fly But I'll stay right here I once heard that everything dies Forget me forgotten Forget me forgotten

Yeah Yeah, this lifes a trip You can go from ain't having shit To makin' the grip Enemies stay close Only to take your spot when you slip Shave some hundos off of you not Homie watching you pick To keep your company 'Cause nobody want to work But everybody wanna' live their lifes comfortably They all dreamin' of the finer things Designer clothes and diamond rings Won't last long, like the kind of pleasure a vagina brings Gotta' stick to your own homie Watch for your dictions Sick with no home somewhere lost in the distance You can get what you want Just practice persistance You're the only person in controlling your existance So make every minute count When in doubt When they say you won't amount Shut 'em out Show 'em what you're all about Live your life Fall in love Forget about your sorrow 'cause Everything you have right now could be all gone tomorow 'cause Changes come time moves on The clock is never stoppin' Don't pay attention to the bullshi- these people talkin' One day you're on top but then suddenly your shi- ain't poppin' People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten Changes come time moves on The clock is never stoppin' Don't pay attention to the bullshi- these people talkin' One day you're on top but then suddenly your shi- ain't poppin' People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten It's when you're goin' through hurts Shi- could be worse Embrace the air you, breathe it evenly Excel and disperce Concentrate on nothin' Soak up the beat and the verse Always check your shoulder homie you cant see in reverse Remeber money comes and goes So even when the funds are low Try to keep above the surface Fightin' with the undertoe Life is wonderful Why you find that hard to believe? You get your arm broken trying to wear your heart on your sleave Don't make your decisions only based on emotions Keep your mouth shut homie And your ears wide open Never look back Trying to make a positive impression Stop stressin' Life's a prize that lies in your possession Don't lie Aggression is a sign of the weak Jealousy the same listen to the words that I speak People change, turn quick to burn you with the stake I just wrote this shi-, so maybe you could learn from my mistakes man Changes come time moves on The clock is never stoppin' Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin' One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin' People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten Changes come time moves on The clock is never stoppin' Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin' One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin' People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten

All the sorrow and the pain All the sacrifice in vain I was much too blind to see You make a loser out of me You put me down for oh so long While you sang your serpent's song The rest is history You can do no more to me I've been down so low Had nowhere left to go I could see it in your eyes All your promises were lies Promises and lies Your cut was quick and deep But then you thought you'd never need a friend But all things change, and tides must turn And you let all your bridges burn Too many fatal wounds to heal The rest is history You can do no more to me I've been down so low Had nowhere left to go I could see it in your eyes All your promises were lies Promises and lies

Say what you mean Do what you say I don't wanna be sold another piece of your dream So take it (take it) Save it (huh) Put it back (huh) Fuck it, erase it I just don't know how I can take it 'Cause my heart is breakin' I've been mistaken You're not the man I thought you were And they tried to warn me Yeah, they tried to warn me You can't tell me (no) Nothing 'bout my man I would never (no) Take they words against yours (oh, no) I rather let you (yeah) Make your promise Oh, no (no) You can't tell me (you can't) Nothing 'bout my man Said you would step up Said you was ready (ready) But I should've listened The first one was a fuck-up (fuck-up) Second one was a no one (no one) Third one was tryna come up Fourth one you said It'd be different, different, different And I believed you You never left me like you did them Fuck hoes on me like you did them I built you up, and I held you down I built you up, and I held you, I held you down You can't tell me (no) Nothing 'bout my man I would never (no) Take they words against yours (oh, no) I rather let you (yeah) Make your promise Oh, no (no) You can't tell me (you can't) Nothing 'bout my man Said you would step up Said you'd put the work in But I should've listened

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
