Verse 1:
And I heard em say
Nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today
From the Chi like Tim it’s a harder way
So this is in the name of love like Robert say
Before you ask me to go get a job today
Can I at least get a raise from the minimum wage
And I know the government administered AIDS
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
Allah U Akbar and throw in some hot cars
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
Chorus:
And I heard em say
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 lasts forever but be honest babe
Hurts but it may be the only way)
Verse 2:
They say people in your life are seasons
And everything that happen is for a reason
And niggas gun clappin and keep to squeezin’
And grams keep praying and keep believin’
In Jesus in one day that she’ll see him
So they walk in his footsteps and try to be him
The devil is alive I feel him breathing
Claiming money is the key so keep on dreamin’
And put them lottery tickets just to tease us
My Aunt Pam can’t keep put them cigarettes down
So now my little cousin smoking those cigarettes now
His job try to claim that he too niggerish now
Is it because his skin blacker than liquorish now
I can’t figure out sicker than now
Chorus:
And I heard em say
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 lasts forever but be honest babe
Hurts but it may be the only way)
Adam Outro:
With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothings ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
Hurts but it may be the only way
