Kanye West feat. Adam Levine-



And I heard 'em say

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow today

From the Chi, Like Tim, it's a Hardaway

Till' 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 on the minimum wage?

And I know the government administered aids,

So I guess we just pray like the minister say

Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cause

Things we seein' on the screen 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 seein' cop cars

I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it



And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today

And I heard 'em say,

But we'll find a way  



Nothin's ever promised tomorrow today

And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts, but it may be the only way



They say people in your life for 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 cuz his skin blacker than licorice now?

I can't figure it out, sick of it now



And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today

And I heard 'em say,

But we'll find a way  



Nothin's ever promised tomorrow today

And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest babe

It hurts, but it may 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

It hurts, but it may be the only way
