Youth never learns the truth about life.
All they see is money, `hos, 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 got to stay alive do what I do to survive!
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.
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Don`t live for today.
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 living 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, pulling triggers ain`t no game.
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.
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
...Don`t live for today.
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 phatter!!!
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.
Because your not...
...Promised...
...Tomorrow!
Because your not...
