Songtexte Heard of That - Slim Thug , Jay-Z

Wake up Mr. West Uh, Yeah, Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised
tomorrow today.
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way,
So this is in the name of love, like Robert says
Before you ask me to get a job today, can I at
least get a raise on a minimum wage?
And I know the government 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
tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised
tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing 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 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 them 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
tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised
tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe,
it hurts but it may be the only way)
(Cuz every worthless word we get more far
away, and nothing's ever promised tomorrow
today,
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe,
it hurts but it may be the only way)
