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   allah hu akbar 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)   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      (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
