Lyrics:
Ain't Promised Tomorrow
This a city, yeah a city so infamous
Rattled cruise firsthand what I'm witnessing
Can tell from afar who's a citizen
East to West side, you know what the biness is
Too many sorrows to drown
Can't escape here to go out of town, knuckle down
As a black male
Wants more than to post bail
Risking jail but sales got him living well
A place known for the thrills and ills
Funerals and no ends meet to pay the bills
Inner city glowing hot, no summer breeze
Always at attention, never at ease
To escape the city life
Gotta know wrong and right
That's a hard pill to swallow
When you ain't promised tomorrow
Gotta move different, be on your square
Keep foes at a distance and stay aware
Seen a couple of brave men get treated blatant
No remorse as blood spilt on the pavement
Tenants move weight international
Disrespect with no repercussion? Irrational
Instinct in their veins, so natural
No equator, but I seen heat that would damage you
The dealt hand for some
Life music, hands count the keys learning drums
The aim's to address, not to glorify
Just want your visuals fortified
Inner city glowing hot, no summer breeze
Always at attention, never at ease
