[Intro: Reconcile]
Never had nothin', never, never had nothin' (x5)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Never had nothin', never, never had nothin' (x2)
Frontline
Never had nothin', never, never had nothin'
[Pre-Hook: Reconcile]
Oh, and we ain't never had nothin'
I'm from the bottom and my 'hood don't play it
You from the bottom and you don't see the struggle (never had nothin')
What can I say
[Hook: Reconcile]
You can't take this from me (You're all that I got)
Oh yeah
You can't take this from me
Oh yeah, oh yeah (You're all that I need)
You can't take this from me (x2)
(You're all that I know)
You can't take this from me (x2)
You can't take this from me dawg, no
You can't take this from me
[Verse 1: Reconcile]
You can't take this from me
Ain't gave this to me
Ain't yours to give
That truth we find in Jesus (yeah)
I'mma die, rise, live again
When He come back said He gonna reign forever
Reign forever
When He come back said He gonna reign forever
Returning forever
Dirty boy from that trailer park
From the trailer park you made it
No happy home, my mama gone
That refrigerator stayed empty
Had to live in homes they was cooking crack in the kitchen
Roaches on the ceiling
It was ramen noodles with chicken
Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City
Make ya wanna merc yourself
Wonder how to break yourself
Hate yourself
Curse His name
Ride around South Central with propane
And the pain of burning flames I know
I poured the gasoline
You ain't into me
You love your enemy
Devil in my ear hollering "I can ease the pain"
[?] nah, nah don't play me
Nah, nah don't play me
Washed in the blood of Jesus
I hit that water
Lost my life
Headshot
Manslaughter
[Pre-Hook and Hook]
[Verse 2: John Givez]
Papa had told me when I was young
Poppy had told me
A story about the importance
Of pouring your heart into something
Don't fall into nothing
That's not where you come from
But papa we live in the 'hood
This evil's mixing with good
These gangster's are preying outside
I'm seeing you pray for my life
I'm needing His grace to survive
Flashback to the cla** act
Got to pa** that
Long test. Don't press me
I'm a prestige example
Of a candle in a dark room
When it spill through
And it's mildew on your lunch bread
I'm from that
Had dreams of the devil coming for me
But the living God is a God who sees
And the living God had His guard on me
So just pardon me
If I feel the need to speak my peace on every street
Every corner where it's liquor and marijuana
Where it's friction and paranoia
Share my joy and have them join in with the mission
To be a voice
Shake the Earth I've made a choice
I'm a person, gave a torch
You can't take this here from me
It's my turn, eternity
Is at hand not at sea
Hands of Jesus set me free
Can't no evil stop this here
Give me power take my fear
Light that fire in my soul
And refine me 'til I'm gold
[Pre-Hook: Reconcile & Dre Murray]
Oh, and we ain't never had nothin' (never had nothin')
I'm from the bottom and my 'hood don't play it (yeah)
You from the bottom and you don't see the struggle (seen the struggle)
Why can't I [?] (okay, okay)
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Dre Murray]
Hold up
South side of that H-Town
Got a couple partners and they stay down
In a place where you don't pay up
They come through like "lay down"
We stay down cause these hunger pains got us
Mobbing in the streets
Hope you prayed up cause you prey to us
These wolves are ready to eat
Showing teeth full of diamonds
But baby that's a disguise
A distraction, I'm just hoping
You don't look me in my eyes
Cause I'm focused on the paper
That paper that be my calling
If I could just dye the pen I'm in. Baby I'm balling
"Sky is the limit. In money we trust"
Foolish mentality given to us
Dive in a pool full of women and lust
Touch one of mines I'm ready to bust
Yeah, and we live from H, T
Whips and chains still abound
But they thinking we free
Still on a ship, they call it a yacht
House of Gomorrah, they call it a Lot
Give 'em the truth they thank you to stop
That's why I checkin' it all that I got
Yeah, some of you s**ers don't love me
But you can't take this from me
[Outro: Reconcile]
You can't take this from me
Your all that I got
You can't take this from me
All that I need
Can't take this from me
All that I want
Can't take this from me, you can't take this from me
What can I say
You can't take this from me, yeah
