Heard 'Em Say - Live At Abbey Road Studios

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 go get a job today

Can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage?

And I know the government administer AIDS

So I guess we just pray like the minister say

الله أكبر 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 seeing cop cars

I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it

And I heard 'em say (ooh)

Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today

And I heard 'em say

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 clapping and keep to squeezing

And Gran keep praying and keep believing

In Jesus, and one day that you see him

'Til then walk in his footsteps and try to be him

The devil is alive I feel him breathin'

Claiming 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 little cousin smokin' them cigarettes now

His job try to 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

Ugh, and I heard 'em say (ooh)

Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today

And I heard 'em say

Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today

And nothing last forever, but be honest, babe

It hurts, but it may be the only way

Ugh, and I heard 'em say

With every worthless word we get more far away

And nothing's ever promised tomorrow today

And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe (what?)

It hurts but it may be the only way

And I heard 'em say

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh)

Ooh, oh, oh-oh (and I heard 'em say)

Oh, woo-woo (yeah, A-Trak)

Oh, ooh, ooh

John Legend, ladies and gentlemen

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh (yeah)

I heard 'em say

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

I heard them say

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Nothing's ever promised, no, no

(Yeah) yeah, Tracey, I know how much you like John

I told y'all I'd bring you a surprise

Thank you!
