Nothing from Nothing - Billy Preston

Nothing from Nothing

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

I'm not tryin' to be your hero

'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr

I'm not tryin' to be your highness

'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

And I'm not stuffin'

Believe you me

Don't you remember I told ya

I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah

Yes, I am

[Instrumental Interlude]

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

You gotta have somethin'

If you wanna be with me

You gotta bring me somethin' girl

If you wanna be with me
