Busta Rhymes - Till It's Gone lyrics

Hey yo, yo yo, hey yo, yo
Hey yo hey yo yo

You don't know what you got until it's
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
You don't know what you got until it's
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone

Hey ya ya yo yo ya ya yo
It was the first sign
On the day of my birth
I entered the earth blind
Vulnerable to everythin I would first find
Condition of bein' niggas having
The worst mind
Becomin weak like we scavengers
Of the worst kind
From havin nothin to plot and
Makin the earth mine, makin the earth mine
That's kinda big aspirations for
A nigga thats
Just kinda got on his first grind
But it's aight cause I'm blowin
Whole on my first shine
Kinda gas quicker than spaz
Ready to burst mine
And though it seems like obstacles
Come at the worst time
Goin from being successful to
Commitin the worst crimes
So quick like a bitch massagin ya whole dick
And bust a nut
And it's over sabotagin ya own shit
We always good when we get it and then abuse
Then regret it
Cause as quick as we get it we fuckin lose it
That's what my mother used to tell me

You don't know what you got until it's
(See they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)
You don't know what you got until it's
(Hey yo I peep that they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)

See in a flash they could take
It from you like hocus pocus
So count your blessings and baby I
Hope you stay in focus
Wide awake like I'm drinkin
Them Capuccino Mochas
Takin on more stress and
Get to becomin smokers
HA, like the shit they setup
Just straight provoke us
And fall victim to the shit till
It stifle and choke us
I promise you'll find the truth when
You done diggin it out
Stop the shiverin nigga I think
I just figured it out
You see we thug physically and mentally soft
Kept lyin to yourself
So that your worth and your value is lost
Sometime the feelin of the city is wrong
Why we appreciate 'em all now that
2Pac and Biggie is gone
Somehow I'm seein it clear
I would have rather this value them just as
Much when both them niggas is here
Yeah, we always good when we get
It and then abuse it
Then regret it, cause as quick as we
Get it we fuckin lose it, listen

You don't know what you got until it's
(See they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)
You don't know what you got until it's
(Hey yo I peep that they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)

Extend your hand for the worried and
Bless 'em if they need you
Don't ever take life for granted and
Bite the hand that feeds you
Be cautious how you treat people and
How the people feel you
Respect niggas or else the karma
Is coming to kill you you got it good baby
Just get your shit together
Before you lose it and it's
Over and gone forever
Dress for the stormy weather feel the songs
For everyone is personal like I was
Just writin myself a letter
A lot of niggas be wilin, callin a name
With disrespect, cashin and blightin
Throwin salt in the game i'm sayin
I'm dealin with logic I hope
You ain't thinkin I'm rude
But stop ruin the greatest thing
Thats been given us food
Clothin and shelter when it's cold
We be staying warm
Imagine if they just took the
Music and rap was gone
We always good when we get
It and then abuse it
I won't let it cause it's precious and
I ain't ready to lose it, listen

You don't know what you got until it's
(See they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)
You don't know what you got until it's
(Hey yo I peep that they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)

You don't know what you got until it's
(See they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)
You don't know what you got until it's
(Hey yo I peep that they ain't knowin though)
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone
(That's what my mother used
To always tell me)

You don't know what you got until it's
They say you don't know what
You got until it's gone (long pause)
You don't know what you got until it's gone
