Uh, yea, uh, yea, uh, yea:
 
And I heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today:
From the Chi, like Tim it's a Hard-a-way:
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 of the minimum wage?:
And I know that the governments administer aids:
So I guess we just pray like the minister say:
Allah-u Akbar and throw him some hot cars:
Things we see on the screen that's not ours: 
But these niggaz 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 with seein cop cars: 
I guess they want us all behind bars - I know it:
Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today:
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:
They say people in life are seasons:
And anything that happen is for a reason:
And niggas gun clapping and keep to squeezing:
And Gram' keep praying and keep believing:
in Jesus, and one day that you see him:
'Til they walk in his footsteps and try to be him:
The devil is alive I feel him breathin:
Claiming 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 liquorish now:
I can't figure it out, I'm sick of it now:
Cause 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:
