Nothin'

[Verse 1]

Hey, Mama, when you leave

Don't leave a thing behind

I don't want nothin'

I can't use nothin'

Take care into the hall

And if you see my friends

Tell 'em I'm fine

Not usin' nothin'

[Verse 2]

Almost burned out my eyes

Threw my ears down to the floor

I didn't see nothin'

I didn't hear nothin'

Stood there like a block of stone

Knowin' all I had to know

And nothin' more

But, man, that's nothin'

[Verse 3]

As brothers, our troubles are

Locked in each others arms

And you better pray

That they never find you

'Cause your back ain't strong enough

For burdens double-fold

They'd crush you down

Down into nothin'

[Verse 4]

Bein' born is goin' blind

And bowin' down a thousand times

The echo's strung

On pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude

These are the precious things

The only words

That're worth rememberin'
