Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah And I heard him say, nothing's ever promised them all today From the shy, like Tim, it's a harder way So this is in the name of love, like robbers 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 ministers say Alu Akbar and throwing some hot cars The things we see on the screen, it'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 And I heard him say, nothing's ever promised them all today And I heard him say, nothing's ever promised them all today But we'll find a way And nothing lasts 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 gone clapping and keep the squeezing And Graham keep praying and keep believing In Jesus, and one day that should see him Till they walk in his footsteps and try to be him The devil is alive, I feel him breathing Claiming money is the key, so keep on dreaming And put them lottery tickets just to tease us My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down So now my little cousin smoking 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 sticking it now And I heard him say, nothing's ever promised them all today And I heard him say, nothing's ever promised them all today But we'll find a way And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe It hurts, but it may be the only way With every word, this word, we can move far away And nothing's ever promised them all today And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe It hurts, but it may be the only way With every word, this word, we can move far away And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe It hurts, but it may be the only way With every word, this word, we can move far away And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe It hurts, but it may be the only way Thanks for watching!
