Lyrics:

Promises, promises (ah!)
Promises, promises

Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Ladies and gentlemen
The president of the United States
Well, as the leader of this great nation
I completely support the apartments, I mean
I will let this all loose from the South Africa
Thank you
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Ladies and gentlemen
President Gorbachev
Promiskis, that's it to us, America
Thank you
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
It's the 15th, man (yeah, what about it?)
I came down here on the first, I came down here on the 15th
You guys promised me my check, I didn't get my check
Man, I want my check, I got two little kids at home cryin' about
When I'm gonna get my milk and cornflakes? I can't give them any money
'Cause you guys are making all your damn promises
Came back on the 19th
Hey, check's in the mail, why are you talking to me about the check, man
Don't talk to me about the check, okay
Check's in the mail, I promised, okay? Shot
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
What's your color of eyes, man?
No man, I came frome somewhere right now, man
They say it's gonna take long to the game, man
You're the only one got a ride
Man, I probably better take your car, okay?
You sucker
Promises, promises (promises)

Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Say, man (yeah)
What you're doing? (I don't know)
You know what, man? (What?)
I want you to do something, man
What do you want me to do?
Promise me, man, you'll stop looking at ganja man, ugh
What? What?
I mean, me and my friend here, me and my friend here, Carlos
Say, man, what's up? (What? What?)
You know what's happenin'
Baby, I ain't throwing down, no color cops is
'Cause I ain't proximate, baby (What? What?)
'Cause I ain't turned down in for my color, baby
You know, you ain't nothin', I'm all, I'm it
Obvious, I'm that, everything, baby
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)
Promises, promises (promises)

The Supreme Court sentences you to 15 years in state prison
Unless you promise to get a job and became a productive citizes
I-I promise, I swear I will, I promise I'll get a job and became a productive citizen
I promise, in fact I'll go to law schools, man, that's it
Already in law schools, that's the ticket
