Heard 'Em Say
Kanye West ft. 2tone & Adam Levine of Maroon 5
Mr. West [echoes]

Kanye
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way,
So this is in the name of love, like Robert says
Before you ask me to get a job today, can i at least get a raise on a minimum wage?
And I know the government administered AIDS,
So I guess we just pray like the minister say,
Allah o Akbar and throw em some hot cars,
Things we see on the screen are not ours,
But these niggas 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 (Adam Levine)]
Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)
2tone
My baby gurl saw my life end,
in front of her eyes, saw my lights dim,
wouldn't ever make her cry, I said,
don't worry about me, I'm bulletproof see,
only in dreams, can someone ever touch me,
as her tears seeped into reality, see how much she loves me,
reached in and hugged me,
as the bullet brushed thee, it slugged me,
I fell to the ground, hit hard like rugby,
knocked out a lil more than wind,
finally caught up to my sins,
oh god, oh please, she pleads, somebody help him,
she knelt down to her knees, uttering tryin to breathe,
I didn't know who had a harder time, either her or me,
but I could clearly see, the rest of my family callin me,
I’m on my way, that’s what they heard me say,
Chorus (Adam Levine)]
Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)
(Cuz every worthless word we get more far away, and nothing's ever promised tomorrow today,
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)
