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 administer 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, uh

chorus:
and i heard ´em say, nothin´s ever promised tomorrow, today
and i heard ´em say, nothin´s ever promised tomorrow today
but we´ll find a way
(adam levine)
and nothin´ lasts forever, but be honest babe
hurts, but it might be the only way

(kanye west)
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,

chorus:
and i heard ´em say, nothin´s ever promised tomorrow, today
and i heard ´em say, nothin´s ever promised tomorrow today
but we´ll find a way
(adam levine)
and nothin´ lasts forever, but be honest babe
hurts, but it might be the only way

(adam levine)
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
