Heard 'em Say

Uh Yea uh yea uh yea...
And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today

From the Chi, like Tim, its the Hardaway
So this is in the name of love like Robert say
Before u ask me to go get a job today.
can i at least get a raise
on the minimum wage.
and i know the government administered AIDS
so i guess we just pray like the minister say.
Allah o Akhbar jus throw in some hot cars
cause the things we see on the screen is not ours
but these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far
where i'm from the dope boys is the rock stars
but they can't cop cars without seeing cop cars
I guess they want us all behind bars

I know it
uhn

And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today
(but we'll find a way)
nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
tough, but it might be the only way)

They say people in your life for jus seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin'
And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'
In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him
Till then in walk 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 lil' cousin smokin' 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,
but I'm stickin it out

uhn

And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today
but we'll find a way
(nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
hurts, but it might be the only way

With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
And nothin lasts forever, but be honest, babe
Hurts, but it may be the only way
