Promise by Khordelia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If she done what they asked of her she could have made it
Here's my dignity
"Sweetie here's your chance, are you gonna take it?"
His wandering hands went south
"Come on, show me that pretty mouth"
And he promised her the world
If she promised to be his girl
[Bridge]
She gave her body for a bit part role
And damn he did some things that'll make your blood run cold
L.As lost it's spark, she's been and gone
Didn't hang around for long
Wandering hands and dirty minds
I think you'll find
[Chorus]
Kneel down he stuck his little thumb in her mouth
So she did and shе was scared to fight it
Buckle up, her wholе world is falling down
She's on her knees and she's praying (ooh Lord)
Kneel down, he stuck his grubby thumb in her mouth
So she did, she was scared to bite it
Buckle up, her whole world lays under the ground
She's on her knees and not praying
[Verse 2]
They took what they want from her
She made it
She done what they asked of her (oh)
She saw her name in lights
She got it all but she couldn't shake it
And drugs took the thoughts away (yeah)
Fame didn't numb the pain (yeah)
She took too much one day (yeah)
Headed for an early grave (yeah)
[Bridge]
She gave her mind and body for the life
And damn they did some things that are hard to survive
And L.A's lost its spark, she's been and gone
Didn't hang around for long
Tainted awards, unjustified
I think you'll find
[Chorus]
Kneel down, he stuck his little thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to fight it
Buckle up, her whole world is falling down
She's on her knees and she's praying (ooh Lord)
Kneel down he stuck his grubby thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to bite it
Buckle up, her whole world lays under the ground
She's on her knees and not praying
[Chorus]
Kneel down, he stuck his little thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to fight it
Buckle up, her whole world is falling down
She's on her knees and she's praying (ooh Lord)
Kneel down he stuck his grubby thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to bite it
Buckle up, her whole world lays under the ground
She's on her knees and not praying
Kneel down, he stuck his little thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to fight it
Buckle up, her whole world is falling down
She's on her knees and she's praying (ooh Lord)
Kneel down he stuck his grubby thumb in her mouth
So she did and she was scared to bite it
Buckle up, her whole world lays under the ground
She's on her knees and not praying
