Say young brother
You keep pushin' so hard
Day after day
But sometimes it just seems
There's nothin' comin' your way
That's OK cause

Sometimes somethin' comes from nothin'

Listen little sister
You just keep on holdin' on
I know he took your heart just to break it
But baby if you keep strong like you done before
Oh I know you gonna make it
Listen children

Sometimes somethin' comes from nothin'

Cause that nothin' becomes somethin' all the time
Yeah that nothin' becomes somethin' all the time

Like a mama say to her new baby
There will come sometime when I won't be by your side
And sometimes you'll find the way my love
But sometimes you'll just break down and cry cause
They might weigh you down
They might take you down
They might break you my child while I'm not around
And if I don't hear you call
When my baby falls
Remember sweet child when it seems like you've lost it all

Sometimes somethin' comes from nothin'

Cause that nothin' becomes somethin' all the time
