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
