Lyrics of Heard 'Em Say by Kanye West, Adam Levine
intro
Uh, yea, uh, yea, uh, yea
verse
And I heard ′em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
From the Chi, like Tim it′s a harder 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 government administer AIDS
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
Allāhu Akbar and throw him some hot cars
Things we see on the screen that's 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
chorus
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
verse
They say people in your life are seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And niggas gun clapping and keep to squeezing
And Gran keep praying and keep believing
In Jesus, and one day that you see him
'Til then 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 licorice now
I can't figure it out, I'm sick of it now
chorus
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
verse
With 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
outro
Uh, yea, uh, yea, uh, yea
Writer(s): Kanye Omari West, Adam Levine, Michael Masser, Gerald Goffin
