A man with a promise smashes down my door   He sees a future with me, he's gonna give me more   "Give me all your trust, I'msure you won't regret   Just sign the dotted line, and I'll do so the rest"   He says I can't make it alone, not without him   But I've always been on my own, he doesn't know who I am   And now I'm starting to see just what you are to me   A parasitic leech of my life      [Pre-chorus:]      You feed off the art that I bleed   You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me      A man broke his promise and he wants reparations   He sold me up the river, cause me grief and frustration   I gave him all my trust and got stabbed in the back   A lucky motherfucker that he hasn't yet been whacked   You ain't no fucking artist, spend your life exploiting others   Try all you want, you can't break me or my brothers   A business man vulture,no honor, no class   Take your money and your lawyers and shove 'em up your ass      [Pre-chorus II:]      You feed off the art that I bleed   Numbers to you is just pain to me      [Chorus:]      Now the tables are turned   Can't you see motherfucker that you've been burned   You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me   You ain't shit to me
