Have Not

We are the have-nots who never had nothing

But learned to make something, out of never having nothing at all

And you could have it all and feel you never need nothing

But he who loves nothing will never have nothing at all

And you could be a superstar

But still feel like an outlaw

And never need nothing at all

But still have an empty heart

When me and my sister was literally playin' in dirt

I can still see the smile on her face, in my head I can still see the mud on my shirt

Fuckin' freezing my ass off at night with this match, tryna get this lil' fire to work

And my mom just got fired from work, and meanwhile we was gettin' evicted

Our living condition was not ideal but some kinda way we learned

That growing up poor don't make you real

They don't want to see us happy, they just sell us happy-meals

So we throw these records on, it's the only thing that has appeal

And the sadness disappears, so what's up with us

What to do with us, they don't know what to do

All they can do is call us thugs till they need they problem solve

Need someone to run they club

He who doesn't love what he has will never have enough

We are the have-nots who never had nothing

But learned to make something, out of never having nothing at all

And you could have it all and feel you never need nothing

But he who loves nothing will never have nothing at all

And you could be a superstar

But still feel like an outlaw

And never need nothing at all

But still have an empty heart
