Can't start a fire without a flame
Can't play the part without a gain
Can't feel the love without the pain
Can't talk to me if you talk the same

When you're burned out baby you gotta calm down
Thought you had it figured o-o-o-o-out

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Can't have a drink without a well
Can't fall asleep without a spell
Can't feel the wind without a kite
Can't pack your bags without a knife

When you're burned out baby you gotta calm down
Thought you had it figured o-o-o-o-out

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Time for the shades on,... on, shot glass
Fly eyes, pretty smile, plus she got class
I'ma show you a little something,
But here's a preview when I speech box flies like ... I'm
She's hot, like liquid metal when ...
Red carpet and ghetto
Baby I'm nasty Nas, I just had to meet you
Just watch that back with a glass ...
Hanging pictures, ...
Ladies on, check in, ... see you
Miami penthouse suite, crazy with a sea view
Still keep a hood like the streets I used to freak through
...

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing

Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something outta nothing
