No One Knows Tomorrow
Anthony B Lyrics

Just the other day, the other day
I was talking to the weather man about today, oh, oh, oh
And all, all he could say
Was no one knows tomorrow

See I can read the weather, child
I can say maybe the rain will fall, the sun will shine, oh, oh, oh
But that's as far as my guess goes
'Cause no one knows tomorrow
Oh, oh, ha, no one knows tomorrow

Tell me what's the need to go to war
All the killings just to settle some one else's score, oh, oh
When the victory isn't even sure, oh, oh, oh
No one knows tomorrow

See we can study history
And philosophy and Plato's ideology, oh, oh, oh
But tomorrows still a mystery
No one knows tomorrow, oh, oh, ha

No one knows tomorrow, oh
No one knows tomorrow, oh, oh, ha
No one knows tomorrow, oh, ha

Tomorrow is your opportunity to fail
Or be successful if you please, yes indeed
Tomorrow is a politician's today
It's the victim of decision and the future of our children

So when I die someday will I be in heavenly places
Singing hallelujah with an angel on the piano?
Or will I be just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses as tomorrow slowly passes?

No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows

So when I die someday will I be in heavenly places
Singing hallelujah with an angel on the piano?
Or will I be just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses as tomorrow slowly passes?

No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows

Read Full BioAnthony B is the stage name of Keith Blair (born March 31, 1976), a Jamaican musician.

Blair grew up in rural Clarks Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh's influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B's vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.

Anthony B adopted Rastafarian beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his new religion and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in the Kingston suburb, Portmore.

While attending high school, Anthony B debuted as a deejay for the local sound system, Shaggy Hi-Power. In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.

At this point in the reggae industry, singing "slack" songs about women was the popular thing to do. Anthony B did not believe in degrading women and chose to pen politically-slanted songs rather than so-called "gyal chunes." He hooked up with Little Devon the Half Pint sound-a-like singer he made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried many different producers but found that none of them fit his style of music. Finally, Anthony B teamed up with Richard "Bello" Bell, creating hits such as Fire Pon Rome, Raid Di Barn, Rumour, and Repentance Time. Anthony B's 1996 debut album Real Revolutionary was highly acclaimed in the reggae community. In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle which showed that Anthony B had a consistent, high-calibre talent. Anthony B has released a large number of albums since that time including 1999's Seven Seals and 2004's Untouchable which featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean.

Anthony B tours extensively in Europe and North America and is known for his fiery, high-energy performances.

Anthony B is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. "Bobo Dreads", as they are known, are recognizable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or "overstandings" as Rastafarians prefer to call them) which Anthony B holds are reflected in his songs.
