[00:08.41]Written by：Craig B/Wale/Mark Ronson/Tone P
[00:16.83]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[00:18.82]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[00:22.47]Not now not ever and now until forever
[00:25.13]You will never need another ni**a
[00:27.83]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[00:29.79]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[00:33.36]Not now not ever and now until forever
[00:36.03]You will never need another ni**a
[00:38.28]Sorry hip hop it took me so long to get on
[00:41.28]But so long that I'm on it it's on
[00:43.66]I'm rappin' for the scholars and the hustla's meanwhile
[00:46.78]Showin' mama I ain't dropped out for nothin'
[00:49.27]I swear these dolla's gon' add up
[00:51.42]And I ain't shallow material things suppress bad luck
[00:54.81]That's why I shine like I does it's pain in my eyes
[00:57.64]But these east saints blind you to look
[01:00.02]Binded between carryin' the flag for an area that drag
[01:04.0]Whoever tried to gravitate
[01:05.69]G told me it's a city full of crimes
[01:08.03]I'm feelin' like a platter at Philip's when I rap
[01:10.7]As much as I wanted to be minuscule the fact is
[01:13.53]They'd only be happy with a minstrel actor
[01:16.87]Sorry Mr. Charlie won't chap dance
[01:19.22]And f**k the radio for tellin' me to snap jam
[01:22.01]I'm just expectin' the spectator's respect here
[01:24.72]My net is from jet setters to cab fares
[01:27.46]Hip-hop's unbalances got out of hand
[01:30.229996]Ain't have to see saw I'm already scared
[01:33.0]I been called the heir apparent to guide us
[01:35.5]Not DC this whole f**kin' genre
[01:38.35]And I ain't in it for them O's or them commas
[01:40.57]But more or less the hope for d**e niggas to prosper
[01:43.91]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[01:45.84]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[01:49.4]Not now not ever and now until forever
[01:52.05]You will never need another ni**a
[01:54.59]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[01:56.65]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[02:00.25]Not now not ever and now until forever
[02:02.95]You will never need another ni**a
[02:05.31]The future is now I lead on record's dedication
[02:08.62]For makin' better music is now
[02:10.59]D**e niggas locked out 4 year rap drought
[02:13.67]It's rainin' now somehow the fugitive's out
[02:16.33]I would invest in a poncho
[02:18.35]'Cause I ain't finna punch out like Glass Joe naw
[02:21.95]I'm a go until my arm's sore f**k it
[02:24.57]I go until my 40 millionth encore
[02:26.83]Hip hop's dead yeah that's what Nas said to me
[02:29.87]I guess that's hip hop heads on salary
[02:32.91]We've had the tables on them record labels
[02:35.38]Who's next to release we guillotine them
[02:38.15]Niggas braggin' but everybody stagnant
[02:40.48]Everybody broke except the ni**a on the track sh*t
[02:44.06]And mama why you throw away my drums
[02:45.92]A hundred for a deal they made a hundred on the song
[02:48.8]Ni**a I'm a hundred miles far I'm feelin' Chris Childs
[02:51.93]You lookin' like Kobe Bryant y'all
[02:54.06]It's lonely at the top so I waited but ain't nobody take it
[02:57.44]Now I'm playin' solitaire patient
[02:59.58]Crucifix pieces necklace with Jesus
[03:02.36]See me as blasphemous for I don't need them
[03:05.14]God give me strength Allah give me patience
[03:07.82]I am only a man and I don't know what to think
[03:10.98]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[03:12.87]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[03:16.43]Not now not ever and now until forever
[03:19.11]You will never need another ni**a
[03:21.57]Mama told me there'd be days like this
[03:23.68]But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this naw
[03:27.33]Not now not ever and now until forever
[03:29.95]You will never need another ni**a
