Heard 'Em Say - Live from Abbey Road

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 get a job today
Can I at least get a raise on a minimum wage?

And I know the government administer AIDS
So I guess we just pray like the minister say
Allahu Akbar and throw in some hot cars
The things we seen 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 seein' cop cars
I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it

And I heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And I heard 'em say (that nothing's ever promised tomorrow today)
(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 people gun clappin' and keep to squeezin'
And Gran keep prayin' and keep believin'
In Jesus and one day that you see him
'Til 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 them cigarettes down
So now my lil' cousin smokin those cigarettes now
His job tryna claim that he too niggerish now
Is it 'cause his skin blacker than licorice now?
I can't figure it out, bring the drums in now, uh

And I heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And I heard 'em say (that nothing's ever promised tomorrow today)
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest, babe)
(It hurts but it may be the only way)

Uh and I heard 'em say
('Cause every worthless word we get more far away)
(And nothing's ever promised tomorrow today)
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest, babe)

Word (it hurts but it may be the only way)
And I heard 'em say (ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh) yeah and I heard 'em say
Yeah, he Tracy
John Legend, ladies and gentlemen

(Yeah) I heard them say
Oh, oh, oh
I heard them say, oh, oh
Nothing's ever promised, no, no

Yeah Tracy, I know how much you like John
I told you I'd bring y'all a surprise

Thank you
