Heard 'Em Say - Kanye West, Adam Levine

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 of the minimum wage?

And I know that the government administer AIDS

So I guess we just pray like the minister say

Allāhu Akbar and throw him some hot cars

Things we see on the screen that’s 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

Uh, 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 a 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 squeezing

And Gran keep praying and keep believing

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

Claiming 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 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, I’m sick of it now

Uh, 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 a 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

Uh, yea, uh, yea, uh, yea
