Not Promised Tomorrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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...
