No Promise Songtext / Lyric

Judge hanging from a blackened sky

Well he shouldn't have messed with the devil in me

Certain things that I dislike

Won't even get better if you choose to apologize

Some guys won't get it, some guys will regret it

There is no promise that I didn't keep

And a heart can be broken, no, no, no promise

Just about a couple of years have passed

There is no more hunting after me I guess

On the run across this whole wide land

There was no damn corner I was save before they kicked my ass

They tried to get, they will never let me

There is no promise that I didn't keep

But a ban can be broken, no, no, no promise

Man says life can be imprisonment

And it makes no difference if you're in

Or in the outside world

Once they give you life

And another time they take it

Just told you 'bout the evil I

Let me tell you the story of an innocent man

There's no way to make them understand

Cause the white man never fails, he's far too ignorant

They can upset me, but they'll never get me

There is no promise that I didn't keep

And a man can be broken, no, no, no promise

Well I admit I killed a copper

And more than that I hanged a judge

But there is something that I disagree with you

There is no such thing called justice

For a black man in this land

As far as I'm concerned you're convincing



But Gary killed no one,

Killed no one
