Till It's Gone

Hey, yo, yo Yo, hey, yo, yo Hey, yo Hey, yo, yo You don't know what you got until it's They say you don't know what you got until it's gone You don't know what you got until it's They say you don't know what you got until it's gone Hey, ya, ya, yo, yo, ya, ya, yo It was the first sign on the day of my birth I entered the earth blind Vulnerable to everythin' I would first find Condition of bein' niggaz having the worst mind Becomin' weak like we scavengers of the worst kind From havin' nothin' to plot and makin' the earth mine Makin' the earth mine That's kinda big aspirations for a nigga That's just kinda got on his first grind But it's aight 'cause I'm blowin' whole on my first shine Kinda gas quicker than spaz ready to burst mine And though it seems like obstacles come at the worst time Goin' from being successful to commitin' the worst crimes So quick like a bitch ma*sagin' ya whole d**k And bust a nut, and it's over sabotagin' ya own shit We always good when we get it and then abuse Then regret it, 'cause as quick as we get it we f**kin' lose it That's what my mother used to tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) See, they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) Hey yo, I peep that they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me See in a flash they could take it from you like hocus pocus So count your blessings and, baby, I hope you stay in focus Wide awake like I'm drinkin' them Cappuccino Mochas Takin' on more stress and get to becomin' smokers Like the shit they setup just straight provoke us And fall victim to the shit till it stifle and choke us I promise you'll find the truth when you done diggin' it out Stop the shiverin', nigga, I think I just figured it out You see we thug physically and mentally soft Kept lyin' to yourself so that your worth and your value is lost Sometime the feelin' of the city is wrong Why we appreciate 'em all now that Tupac and Biggie is gone? Somehow I'm seein' it clear I would have rather this value them just as much When both them niggaz is here Yeah, we always good when we get it and then abuse it Then regret it 'cause as quick as we get it we f**kin' lose it, listen (You don't know what you got until it's) See, they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) Hey yo, I peep that they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) Yo that's what my mother used to always tell me Extend your hand for the worried and bless 'em if they need you Don't ever take life for granted and bite the hand that feeds you Be cautious how you treat people and how the people feel you Respect niggaz or else the Karma is coming to kill you You got it good, baby, just get your shit together Before you lose it and it's over and gone forever Dress for the stormy weather, feel the songs For everyone is personal like I was just writin' myself a letter A lot of niggaz be wilin', callin' a name With disrespect, cashin' and blightin', throwin' salt in the game I'm sayin', I'm dealin' with logic, I hope you ain't thinkin' I'm rude But stop ruin the greatest thing that's been given us food Clothin' and shelter when it's cold we be staying warm Imagine if they just took the music and rap was gone We always good when we get it and then abuse it I won't let it 'cause it's precious and I ain't ready to lose it, listen (You don't know what you got until it's) See, they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) Hey yo, I peep that they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) See, they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me (You don't know what you got until it's) Hey yo, I peep that they ain't knowin' though (They say you don't know what you got until it's gone) That's what my mother used to always tell me You don't know what you got until it's They say you don't know what you got until it's gone You don't know what you got until it's gone
