Have Nots

B.o.B - Have Nots Lyrics

[Pre-Hook]We are the have-nots who never had nothingBut learned to make something, out of never having nothing at allAnd you could have it all and feel you never need nothingBut he who loves nothing will never have nothing at all[Hook]And you could be a superstarBut still feel like an outlawAnd never need nothing at allBut still have an empty heart[Verse 1]When me and my sister was literally playin' in dirtI can still see the smile on her face, in my head I can still see the mud on my shirtFuckin' freezing my ass off at night with this match, tryna get this lil' fire to workAnd my mom just got fired from work, and meanwhile we was gettin' evictedOur living condition was not ideal but some kinda way we learnedThat growing up poor don't make you realThey don't want to see us happy, they just sell us Happy-MealsSo we throw these records on, it's the only thing that has appealAnd the sadness disappears, so what's up with usWhat to do with us, they don't know what to doAll they can do is call us thugs till they need they problem solveNeed someone to run they clubHe who doesn't love what he has will never have enough[Pre-Hook]We are the have-nots who never had nothingBut learned to make something, out of never having nothing at allAnd you could have it all and feel you never need nothingBut he who loves nothing will never have nothing at all[Hook]And you could be a superstarBut still feel like an outlawAnd never need nothing at allBut still have an empty heart
