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
