Lyrics
She knows We ain't never had nothing (whoa) We ain't never had nothing (whoa) Tryna' turn it into something We ain't never had nothing But we try and turn this love into something, yeah, yeah Into something yeah yeah, into something Into into something yeah, yeah We ain't never had nothing But we try and turn this love into something, yeah, yeah Oh don't you judge me Please don't you judge me You supposed to learn me You looking down like you standing above me But I'm so used to that yeah America acting like they send us they don't play their part They just play me though Land of the free was built for free offering it back They just take it from us This life is a typical culture till now I left Beat us and broke us with noose around our neck Sold our families and raped our mothers with no respect And told us if we learned to read it would be certain death And that's the hand that we was dealt played it for Jim Crow White hoods and shotguns intimidate our vote But still we persisted tried to believe Even if assassins kill our kings with dreams And I ain't asking for no sympathy But the difference in our history often affects who we intend to be And don't you dare talk about a broken home Cause for 250 years all our families was buzzed whole Still trying to put it together I feel like it's taking forever It ain't for a lack of trying we trying to do better Gotta rise above it Trying to turn this nothing into something We ain't never had nothing (whoa) We ain't never had nothing (whoa) Trying to turn it into something We ain't never had nothing But we try and turn this nothing into something, yeah, yeah Into something yeah, yeah, into something Into, into something yeah, yeah We ain't never had nothing (no) But we try and turn this nothing into something yeah, yeah Yeah Little homie about to do the trick (uh) Homie let me learn you a trick (woo) Black people teach you how to breathe it though Ex nihilo, something out of nothing you should see it though It's black boy joy, black boy fly (fly) Black girl rock, hit the rock make it cry Hold the staff for Moses can't call it its magic from 10,000 hours And no having it, couple, couple of noodles and hot links A gourmet feast a miracle nothing short a tree Spotting out concrete yeah white out the concrete Yeah y'all be all weak System kill our prophets and mock our mournful Give us balls and mikes and demand we perform for them It's crazy 300 years been trying to say to you Why I gotta explain, it ain't plain to you? (huh?) We never had nothing but nothing was selfish Kept my belly full of the stuff the rich was missing Y'all could grow a little, your little minds could listen Privilege you protect us made y'all a victim You think you blameless, I know you shamed it Y'all can't even see the pain in our faces You ain't got the frame for the affects and displacement You marvel at the joy that comes from our spaces Even though Even though We ain't never had nothing (whoa) Even though, even though We ain't never had nothing (whoa) Trying to turn it into something We ain't never had nothing (whoa) But we try and turn this nothing into something yeah, yeah Into something yeah, yeah, into something Into, into something yeah, yeah We ain't never had nothing But we try and turn this nothing into something yeah, yeah
