[Verse 1]
Hey mama, when you leave, don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothing, I can't use nothing
Take care into the hall and if you see my friends
Tell 'em I'm fine, not using nothing

[Verse 2]
Almost burned out my eyes and threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothing, I didn't hear nothing
I stood there like a block of stone knowing all I had to know
And nothing more, man, that's nothing

[Verse 3]
As brothers our troubles are, locked in each other's arms
And you better pray that they never find you
'Cause your back ain't strong enough for burdens double-fold
They'd crush you down, down into nothing

[Verse 4]
Being born is going blind and bowing down a thousand times
To echoes strung on pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude, these are the precious things
And the only words that are worth remembering
