Kanye West - Heard 'Em Say lyrics

Uh, Yeah, Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh yeah.

[Piano drops]

And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tommorow today.
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way,
So this is in the name of love, like Raba say,
Before you ask me to get a job today, can i atleast get a raise on a minimum wage
And I know the gouverment 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.

Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tommorow today. (ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tommorow today. (Nothing's ever promised tommorow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it helps 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 guns a clappin and keep to squeezin',
And Gran (Grandma) keep prayin' and keep believin',
And Jesus and one day that ya 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 those lottery tickets just to tease us,
My aunt Pam can't put those cigarettes down,
Now my lil cousin smokin those cigarettes now,
His job trying to claim that he too niggerish now,
Is it cuz his skin blacker than licorice now?
I can't figure it out...
Im Stickin around....

Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tommorow today. (ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tommorow today. (Nothing's ever promised tommorow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it helps but it may be the only way)

(Cuz every words we swore we got more far away, and nothing's ever promised tommorow today,
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it helps but it may be the only way)

OoOohh Oohh ohh..
Aahh Ahhh Ahh
Oooh ooh..
Oooh ooh....
