Heard 'em Say Lyrics - Late Registration - Kanye West

Uhh, yeah And I heard 'em say 

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

From the Chi, like Tim, its 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 jus' throw him 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, uhh 

And I heard 'em say 

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

And I heard 'em say 

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

(but we'll find a way) 

And nothing lasts forever but be honest, babe 

Tough, but it might 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 

'Till then, 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 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 

But I'm stickin it out, uhh 

uhh 

And I heard 'em say 

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

And I heard 'em say 

Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

But we'll find a way 

And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe 

It hurts, but it might be the only way 

With every worthless word we get more far away 

And nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today 

And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest, babe 

It hurts, but it may be the only way
