[Hook 2: Jerry✦ Butler]✦ (Busta✦ Rhymes)
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)
[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
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 drinking✦ 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 'til it stifle and choke us
I promise you'll find the truth when you done diggin✦ it out
Stop the shivering 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 feeling 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 rathered us valued✦ 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✦
[Hook 2]
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)
[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
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,✦ cashing and blighting, throwing salt in the game
I'm sayin, I'm dealing with logic✦ I hope you ain't thinking✦ I'm rude
But stop ruin the greatest thing thats been given✦ us food
Clothing 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✦
[Hook 2]
You don't know what you got until✦ it's...
