Ain't Gonna See Tomorrow
Mystikal

Verse 1:
Government got it where you can't do shit no mo'
The water ain't no good, the grass don't grow
Never mention schools ain't safe no mo'
Killin' in the 1st grade, six years old
Ask yoself this
In what kind of world is that to raise yo children?
Then again it really don't matter
Where you gon' go, you still gotta live it
Let's face reality
Stop talking 'bout peace, that's a thing of the past
But then again that's a bald face lie,
'Cause a few years ago you was hangin' my ass
Beefin' on presidents
Sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me
Think about it, young black man
Come up set up for penitentiary
Do the math, it's all on you, choose yo path, be a leader, pray for strength
Know when to cap and when to blast
Get back on track
We damn near got past crack
Then every dope dealer got snatched back
We all wit the black on black
That's sad
Is it really in our nature what make us so bad?
But I ain't no better then the rest of ya'll
Plus I came up in a house wit out no dad
I knew that you left
You finished one life that you ain't want to
But that how it is
Lord help us, You know what we goin' through

Chorus:
It's bigger than us
It's out of my hands
That's why I'm prayin' to God
Oh Heavenly Father, keep my head above the water
It's Yo world, but we Yo children
Yo sons and Yo daughters
We strugglin', tryin' to get it together
But some of us ain't gon' see tomorrow
Some of us ain't gon' see tomorrow
I know some of us ain't gon' see tomorrow

Verse 2:
Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship wit nothin' but silence, silence
We ain't married so we can't get divorced
An' the only thing left is domesticated violence
When a man use a woman to take out his problems
He abuses that woman
Then that man must recognize his assignment
"We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit?"
That's bullshit
That ain't no reason to pull her arm out the socket
"Baby I'm so sorry
You know that I love you and didn't wanna hurt you
When I put my hands on ya
I was wrong so I don't deserve ya"
I never thought I'd see the day when they scrap a nigga when they talk about 'em on the TV
Now my sister flipping in the grave
'Cause that's why she died an' I know this can't be me
Lord help her forgive me
God give me my purpose
Jesus break these chains
You know this a vintage circle
But I got my trust in You
I know there'll be light at the end of the tunnel
I done been in many situations
She was there each and everyone of 'em
Keep me humble
I wanna take time out ,write down and thank ya, thank ya
Tryin' to make it wit out you is somethin' we can't do

Chorus

Verse 3:
Lord tell 'em you difference 'tween havin' eternal life or forever burn, burn
Lord tell 'em you was wit me when I had my accident and my truck started flippin' and turnin'
When it feel like I was dyin'
From the moment of impact we rolled ten times
I was down on my best, that fool came on my side of the line
But when the truck did finally stop movin', I was just fine
My little brother that was on the passenger side musta got hurt 'cause he was unconscious
We done had our tragedies
We was just talkin', so this can't be happenin'
But before I could say anything else,
I saw the helicopter and the ambulance
My little brother came back through
The first thing he said was, "What is going on?"
But the next thing he said was, "Watch over me Lord an' keep me strong"
And right then and there
I knew that everything was gon' be alright
But we ain't promised nothin'
So thank you my Lord for savin' his life

Chorus (twice)
