G-Eazy
Heard ’Em Say (Remix)
[Verse 1]
And I heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
From the Bay, like 40 and Dre
So 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 that the government administer AIDS
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
Allāhu Akbar and throw him some hot cars
Things we see on the screen that's not ours
But these people from the hood so these dreams not far
Where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars
But can't cop cars without seeing cop cars
I guess they want us all behind bars - I know it

[Hook]
Uh, and I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
Yeah, and I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
But we'll a find a way
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Verse 2]
They say people in your life are seasons
And everything that happen is for a reason
And people gun clapping and keep to squeezing
And Gran keep praying and keep believing
In Jesus, and one day that you see him
Till you walk in his footsteps and try to be him
The devil is alive I feel him breathin'
Saying 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 little cuz smokin' them cigarettes now
His job try to claim that he too ... now
Is it cause his skin blacker than licorice now
I can't figure it out, I'm sick of it now
[Hook]
Uh, and I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
Yeah, and I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
But we'll a find a way
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Post-Hook]
With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Outro]
Yadidimean? Bay Area to the universe man

The freshest drummer alive Blizzy
And the heavy hitter DJ Quiz
