Nothin’ to Somethin’
[Intro]
Hey, what's up?
I wanna dedicate this one
To all my ballers, shot callers, ha
You know how we do
We turned nothing into something

[Verse 1]
From the South Side to the Eastside (Eastside)
From the ghetto to the high rise
Look at how we living now, oh yeah
Check out how we living now, ooh ooh, oh oh
From the hooptie to the Benz-o (Benzo)
From the Greyhound to the Limo (Limo)
That's how we rollin' girl, oh yeah
Look at how we rollin' now, oh oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
(We took nothing)
We took nothing, yes we did, nothing, and we, and we
(Turned it into something)
You and me together, you and me together, look at what we did, oh ho
(We took nothing)
And can't nobody take it away from us, no, no, no no no
(Turned it into something, turned it into something)
Yeah, check it
[Verse 2]
From the Asti to the Cristal (Cristal)
From the swamp meet to the big mall (Big mall)
That's how we ballin' girl (Gotta keep on ballin', y'all)
Check out how we ballin' now, yeah
(I gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on ballin', y'all)
From sexin' to making love (Making love)
From protection to no glove (No glove)
That's how we're making babies now (Making babies, ha)
We're making babies now (Said we're making babies)
And little G, he look just like me, hey, can't you see?

[Chorus]
(We took nothing)
Nothing, look at what we did, baby, look at what we did, girl
(Turned it into something)
From rags to riches, holding hands in the street
To making love in the best suites, hey hey, hey hey
(We took nothing)
You and me together, baby, yeah, yeah (Nothing, nothing, nothing)
(Turned it into something)
Turned it all around, ha, made our own thing
(Turned it into something) And oh, oh

[Outro]
I ain't never gonna leave you, girl
I ain't never gonna go nowhere
I ain't never gonna hurt you, girl
I ain't never gonna beat you, girl
And I ain't never gonna let you down
I ain't never gonna make you frown
I ain't never, I ain't never, I ain't never gonna
I ain't never gonna
I ain't never gonna leave you, girl
I ain't never gonna go nowhere
I ain't never gonna hurt you, girl
I ain't never gonna beat you, girl
And I ain't never gonna let you down
I ain't never gonna make you frown
I ain't never, I ain't never, I ain't never gonna
I ain't never gonna
Look, we've got so much here together, babe
You see we took nothing and turned it into something, oh
(We took nothing) Oh, oh, yeah
(We turned it into something)
You and me together
Check it out, let me break it down
(We took nothing)
See, one year of courting
Two years of kissing
Three years of fuckin'
And four years of making love
Said just you and me, you and me
So that equals eternity, hey hey
(I know you feelin' me now, huh)
They said it wouldn't last
Said it wouldn't last
(We took nothing)
See, one year of courting
Two years of kissing
Three years of fuckin'
And four years of making love
(Turned it into something)
That's you and me
That's the way a love should be, yeah
You and me did it, you and G did it
Said we did it, yeah
(We took nothing)
Look what we did, look what we did
(Turned it into something)
We took all our tiny fingers and we put them together
(Turned it into something)
And we made up something so good, so sweet
Everybody, everybody wants it, everybody wants it
We took nothing, nothing
(We took nothing)
Nothing, nothing, ah baby baby
Ah, nothing, nothing
Said we took nothing, me and you
You and me, you and me, baby
Uh-huh, uh-huh
