Kanye West Heard `em Say Lyrics

Heard `em Say Lyrics

Mr. West



And I heard 'em say

Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

From the Chi, like Tim, it's the Hardaway

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 the government administered aids

So I guess we just pray like the minister say



Allah o Akhbar just throw in some hot cars

'Cause the things we see on the screen is 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 'em say

Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

And I heard 'em say

Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

  (Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today)

But we'll find a way

(And nuthin' 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 gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin'

And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'

In Jesus and one day that she'll see him

'Til then in walk 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 cigarettes down

So now, my lil' 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, I'm stickin' around



And I heard 'em say

Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

And I heard 'em say

Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

 (Nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today)

But we'll find a way

(And nuthin' lasts forever but be honest, babe)

(It hurts, but it might be the only way)



'Cause every worthless word we get more far away

And nuthin's ever promised tomorrow, today

And nuthin' lasts forever, but be honest, babe

It hurts, but it may be the only way
