Kanye West (Late Orchestration) Heard 'Em Say Lyrics

And I heard em say
Nothing's ever promised tommorow today
From the Chi like Tim it's a hardaway
To 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 Akbar be throwin some hot cars
Things we seein on the screen is not ours
But these n____s from the hood so these dreams not far
Where im 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

(Chorus)
And I heard em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And I heard em say
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today)
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way)

(Verse two)

They say people in ya life are seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And people's gun clappin and keep to squeezin
And gram (grandma) keep prayin and keep believein
In Jesus and one day that she'll see him
Till they walk in 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 ciggarettes down
So now my lil cousin smokin them ciggarettes now
His job tryna claim that he too n_____ish now
Is it cuz his skin blacker than licorice now
I cant figure it out
Bring the drums in now
uh uh

(chorus)

With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothings ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way
