1
(Mr. West) Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah
2
And I heard 'em say, nothin' ever promised tomorrow today
3
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way
4
So this is in the name of love, like a rob would say
5
Before you ask me to get a job today,
6
Can I at least get a raise on a minimum wage?
7
And I know the Government administered AIDS
8
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
9
Allah O'Akbar and throw 'em some hot cars
10
Things we seen on the screen are not ours
11
But these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far
12
Where I'm from, the dope boys is the rock stars
13
But they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars
14
I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it
15
Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothin' ever promised tomorrow today
16
And I heard 'em say, (Nothin' ever promised tomorrow today) but we'll find a way
17
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)
18
They say people in your life are seasons
19
And anything that happen is for a reason
20
And niggas guns a clappin' and keep to squeezin'
21
And Gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'
22
And Jesus, one day that ya see him
23
Till they walk in his footsteps and try to be him
24
The devil is alive I feel him breathin'
25
Claimin' money is the key so keep on dreamin'
26
And put those lottery tickets just to tease us
27
My aunt Pam can't put those cigarettes down
28
Now my 'lil cousin smokin' those cigarettes now
29
His job trying to claim that he too nigger-ish now
30
Is it 'cause his skin blacker than licorice now?
31
I can't figure it out, I'm stickin' around
32
Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothin' ever promised tomorrow today
33
And I heard 'em say, (Nothin' ever promised tomorrow today) but we'll find a way
34
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)
35
Cause every worthless word we got more far away,
36
And nothing's ever promised tomorrow today,
37
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe,
38
It hurts but it may be the only way
