Emilio Rojas - Promise Lyrics

They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise
They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise

Every day we work
Yeah
We don’t take no day off
Winning ‘cuz we even treat a scrimmage like the playoffs
Thriving in the chaos
All them haters way off
Battling ourselves so when we sweat it feel like napalm
We been running out of space in the trophy case
All they do is run their mouths - they don’t show their face
So we here to shut ‘em down - let ‘em know their place
If you ain’t working all that talent just gon’ go to waste
We came up like savages
While your wins came with an asterisk
When we play we have to win
We can feel that in our abdomens
We move in like champions
Knowing ain’t no match for this
We gone make it difficult for people to come after this

They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise
They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise
‘Cuz we champions
And we want it all
So we climbing every day
We ain’t gonna fall
‘Cuz we champions
And we want it all
So we climbing every day
We ain’t gonna fall

We done paid our dues
Pay us our respect
Cut us from a different cloth that’s why you hanging by a thread
All the work we put in all the blood that we done shed
When they said we couldn’t - but we did it just to flex
They gone have to build statues to commemorate
How we breathing life into this game - hyperventilate
How you gonna step into this ring - with some heavyweights
If you ain’t working all that talent just gone go to waste

We came up like savages
While your wins came with an asterisk
When we play we have to win
We can feel that in our abdomens
We move in like champions
Knowing ain’t no match for this
We gon’ make it difficult for people to come after this

They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise
They gon’ have to build statues in our honor
Swam with the sharks
It made us piranhas
We ain’t backing down
We don’t run from drama
That’s a promise
That’s a promise
