Not Promised Tomorrow
Youth never learns the truth about life
All they see is money, hoes, a lot of hype
I can tell you things that are wrong and some are right
But I have a view of a different type
I seen him come up on the block slang the rocks for the cops
And my mother's overworked and my pop's gone berserk
She puts on teeny-weeny skirts for the money, that ain't funny
I gots to stay alive, do what I do to survive
If I close my eyes, will I rise?
If I don't, that won't be no surprise
I live my life like my last
Learned many lessons, but I have to laugh
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
Because you're not
Don't live for today
One life to live full of stress and strife
Obstacles of chaos any time, many kind
I can tell you things that are wrong and some are right
But I have a view of a different type
I seen him grow up kinda wild, a spoiled child livin' foul
And he's fed a silver spoon, and he still acts like a goon
I don't understand it, son
Why must you carry a gun?
For the fun and the fame, pullin' triggers ain't no game
If I close my eyes, will I rise?
If I don't, that won't be no surprise
I live my life like my last
Learned many lessons, but I have to laugh
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
Because you're not
Don't live for today
Fuck the dumb-ditty, dumb-able bodies being bums
People always talking shit, get yours if it's not legit
How you think the rich got rich?
Cry and bitch and pitch a fit
I say mind over matter and your pockets will be fatter
If I close my eyes, will I rise?
If I don't, that won't be no surprise
I live my life like my last
Learned many lessons, but I have to laugh
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
Because you're not
Live my life like my last (promised tomorrow!)
Because you're not
All they see is money, hoes, a lot of hype
I can tell you things that are wrong and some are right
But I have a view of a different type
I seen him come up on the block slang the rocks for the cops
And my mother's overworked and my pop's gone berserk
She puts on teeny-weeny skirts for the money, that ain't funny
I gots to stay alive, do what I do to survive
If I close my eyes, will I rise?
If I don't, that won't be no surprise
I live my life like my last
Learned many lessons, but I have to laugh
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
(Because you're not) promised (tomorrow!)
Because you're not
Don't live for today
One life to live full of stress and strife
Obstacles of chaos any time, many kind
