Exodus Promise You This
One thing I've always known
Is sooner or later a beat dog bites
Always been taught to never show up
Unarmed when lookin' to fight
I can't lie when given half a chance
You know I'm gonna make it right
Always been a man of my word
Covenants made, covenants kept
That's my philosophy
So you better heed every word I say
With all due modesty
So don't cry into your pillow
Cause you'll find no sympathy
Never been one to run with the herd
They can't take me
I'm truly one of one
On this we agree
We fall then we rise up again
Never knowing how to lose, we never bend
I promise you this
We crawl through the lies yet again
They keep us so confused, they never end
I promise you this
Hard times make for harder men
We do as we choose, we don't pretend
I promise you this
We hit back harder than we get
You ain't seen nothing yet, we never miss
I promise you this
Father always told me Boy
You gotta know right from wrong
Better be quick to bloody the nose
That's stickin' where it don't belong
I won't deny I just didn't seem to wanna
Find a way to play along
Took me many years to learn
Eye for and eye, tooth for a tooth
That's all you ever need to know
When you're a man of your word
It'll help to soften the blows
I won't try to sugar coat this
And make life a fairy tale
Respect given, respect returned
They can't take me
I'm truly one of one
On this thing we agree
We fall then we rise up again
Never knowing how to lose, we never bend
I promise you this
We crawl through the lies yet again
They keep us so confused, they never end
I promise you this
Hard times make for harder men
We do as we choose, we don't pretend
I promise you this
We hit back harder than we get
You ain't seen nothing yet, we never miss
I promise you this
I promise you this
I promise you this
