Heard Em Say

Em7                  Bm7         
And I heard 'em say, nothing's 
                Am7
ever promised tomorrow today
         Em7
From the Chi, like Tim it's a harder
 way
           Bm7                     
So this is in the name of love like
 Am7
 Robert say
            Bm7               Am7
Before you ask me to go get a job 
today
         Fmaj7
Can I at least get a raise of the 
minimum wage?

And I know that the government 
administer AIDS
     Em7
So I guess we just pray like the 
minister say
Bm7               Am7
Allāhu Akbar and throw in some hot 
cars
Em7
Things we see on the screen that's 
not ours
          Bm7                    
But these niggas from the hood so 
       Am7
these dreams not far
          Bm7                Am7
Where I'm from the dope boys is the 
rock stars
         Fmaj7
But they can't cop cars without 
seeing cop cars

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


[Hook]
   Em7
Uh, and I heard 'em say (Ooh),
        Bm7                   
        Nothings ever promised 
    Am7
tomorrow today
Em7
And I heard 'em say
Continues after the ad
Bm7            Am7            
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow 
Bm7
today (But we'll a find a way)
    Am7                        
And nothing last forever but be 
  Fmaj7
honest babe

It hurts but it may be the only way


[Verse 2]
Em7
They say people in your life are 
seasons
   Bm7                    Am7
And anything that happen is for a 
reason
    Em7
And niggas gun clapping and keep to 
squeezing
    Bm7                   Am7
And Gran keep praying and keep 
believing
   Bm7                         Am7
In Jesus, and one day that you see 
him
          Fmaj7
'Til then walk in his footsteps and 
try to be him

The devil is alive I feel him 
breathin
  Em7
Claiming money is the key, so keep 
on dreamin
    Bm7                      Am7
And put them lottery tickets just to
 tease us
Em7
My Aunt Pam can't put them 
cigarettes down
         Bm7                     
So now my little cousin smokin' them
Am7
 cigarettes now
    Bm7                        
His job try to claim that he too 
Am7
niggerish now
      Fmaj7
Is it 'cause his skin blacker than 
licorice now?

I can't figure it out, I'm sick of 
it now

     Bm7             Am7       
With every worthless word we get 
       Bm7   Am7

And nothing's ever promised 
Bm7    Am7
