Kanye West
Heard 'em Say (radio edit)
Wake up, Mr. West!

Kanye West
Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah

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 n***as 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

Adam Levine
And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby
It hurts, but it may be the only way

Kanye West
They say people in your life for seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And n***as gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin'
And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'
In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him
It's 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 little cousin smokin' 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, 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

Adam Levine
And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby
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, baby
It hurts, but it may be the only way
