Heard 'Em Say (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 administer aids, So I guess we just pray like the minister say Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cars 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 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 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, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today But we'll find a way 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
