Having Nothin’

Lyrics

[Chorus] Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything Having nothing gave me everything I need Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything Having nothing gave me everything I need [Verse 1] It was on as baby, the longing made me, never take it short Was fist and face up, no kiss and make up, it made us fought Pounds of pop 'round the clock, down the block only brave could walk Born with hate within, walls paperthin, can hear the neighbors talk I was draped with doubt, how to make it out, my favorite thought Was never no juice, wanted better produce, they was craving pork Wake up days with means to spit, my razor clean the way it's taught From bottom line, drew outside the line, few mind got traced in chalk Thats a bad man, blessed with bad hands 'cause no cases caught When had low bucks, stole much 'cause it's harder to take support Everywhere taking flames, ain't playing games, the race is sport Peep the system, my people victim to guns, dope, base and snort [Chorus] Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything Having nothing gave me everything I need Having nothing gave me everything [Verse 2] Lived the plight of knight so I be buried king Surviving in the hivin' was a steady sting Them Brooklyn fights, never took it light, bought the heavy thing As tykes, not the type to scare, only from icy air We would shiver, my heat would see my hip, see the street, see the river So much fun and games, till someone aims, squeeze the trigger The figures we pursue, if it came down to me and you The planet would advantage, cause there's no me and you Plain in the flesh, trained to express what I see and do Carpe diem 'till the mausoleum, I'm just being true [Chorus] Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything Having nothing gave me everything I need Having nothing gave me everything, it gave me everything Having nothing gave me everything I need, word [Outro: Sample] Man 1: Destroy all lines, that's what I'm doing Man 2: How long do you think you'll do it? Man 1: Till I'm finished
