Fake Promises lyrics - Joyner Lucas

Fakes promises

Promises

I'm tryna show you somethin' different, you know what I mean? Uh

They don't mean nothin' to me

They don't mean nothin'

They don't mean nothin'

I'm attracted to your energy, you too official (Yeah)

You a baddie and these other hoes ain't fuckin' with you

I just kinda wish that you wasn't so superficial

To keep it real, I feel like that mentality don't even fit you (Word)

I'm tryna show you somethin' different, take you by the hand (Uh)

Maybe change the way you think and show you how to plan

Fuck a Chanel bag, I'll put you onto buyin' land

Sit you down, show you how to build a castle by the hand (Uh), yeah

I'll show you how to do more (Yeah)

Show you how to invest one to make two more

Show you how to turn three into a few more

Show you how to turn a bus pass into a two-door (Joyner)

You said, you promised you gon' open up some new doors (Yeah)

You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (Yeah)

But you keep doin' the same shit and now you too lost

I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (Yeah)

Fakes promises

I said when I look at you, I see so much more than you probably could even see in yourself (Promises) real shit (Real shit)

It's like these other hoes is basic, you not basic, you not basic, you got potential, you feel what I'm sayin'?

They don't mean nothin' to me

You just gotta learn how to separate yourself from all the noise (They don't mean nothin')

Gotta let go of all your distractions (They don't mean nothin')

And focus

Look

I wanna help you better yourself (Yeah)

I could give you money or show you how to get it yourself (Uh)

The grass ain't greener, unless you wet it yourself

I hate it when you be impressed in niggas and never yourself (Joyner)

I'm tryna show you how to take you higher (Yeah)

These other niggas tryna show you how to change your tire (Ha-ha)

It's gon' take more than clothes just to make you flyer

I'll show you how to make your own brand, and I'll pay designers

But I'll still buy you that Chanel bag (Yeah)

Then we invest in whatever stocks Chanel has (Uh)

I ain't wanna see you fall but you fell fast

I want you to have it all, make some real cash (Yeah)

Said you gon' open up some news doors

You said, you promised you gon' elevate at full force (For real)

But you keep doin' the same shit and now you too lost

I know that you'll be doin' better if you only knew more (Yeah)

It's like you livin' in the moment and shit you not really thinkin' 'bout what's next, you know what I mean?

It ain't no nigga who's gonna tell you this shit so I gotta let you know

And your friends are cool, don't get me wrong, I like your friends but

They don't got no niggas in their life to really put 'em on game like that so

They gon' try to steer you over there but

Ain't really nothin' over there but the same old movie and shit playin' over and over

Fakes promises

Ain't nobody gon' tell you this shit, I gotta put you on game (Promises)

I'm tryna stimulate your mind, give you some shit to think about when you by yourself, you know what I mean?

They don't mean nothin' to me (Joyner)

They don't mean nothin'

They don't mean nothin'
