heard 'em say
Singer:kanye west
nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. from the chi
like tim it's a harder way
so this is in the name of love
before you ask me to go get a job today
can i at least get a raise on the minimum wage?
and i know the government administer aids
so i guess we just pray like the minister say
and throw 'em some hot cars
the things we see on the screen that's not ours
but these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far
the dope boys is the rock stars
but they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars
i guess they want us all behind bars. i know it. uh
nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. and i heard 'em say
nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. but we'll find a way
(and nothing last forever but be honest babe
it hurts but it may be the only way)
they say people in your life are seasons
and anything that happen is for a reason
and niggas gun clapping and keep to squeezin'
and gran keep prayin' and keep believin'
in jesus and one day that you see him
'til then walk in his footsteps and try to be him
the devil is alive i feel him breathin'
claimin' money is the key so keep on dreamin'
and put them lottery tickets just to tease us
my aunt pam can't put them cigarettes down
so now my little cousin's smoking them cigarettes now
his job try to claim that he too niggerish now
is it 'cause his skin blacker than licorice now?
i can't figure it out. i'm sick of it now
nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. and i heard 'em say
nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. but we'll find a way
(and nothing last forever but be honest babe
it hurts but it may be the only way)
with every worthless word we get more far away
and nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
and nothing last forever but be honest babe
it hurts but it may be the only way
