Текст песни I Herd Um Say - Jermaine Dupri

Heard ′em say
Wake up Mr. West
Kanye West:
And I heard 'em say,
Nothin′ ever promised tomorrow today.
From the Chi, like Tim it's 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 I'm 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.
Adam Levine:
Uh,
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
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
Kanye West:
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′ keep prayin' and keep believin',
In 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...
I′m sick of it now
Adam Levine:
Uh,
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
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
