Lyrics

No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Can't understand why you keep holding on, just cause you can't take it with you, no you can't take it with you, yes you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. I see you pride yourself in your new car, chatting on your compact Nokia, and you love your expensive clothes, but you can't take it with you when you go, when you go. No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Ain't no point in trying to hold on, just cause you can't take it, oh you can't take it, you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. No you can't take your big screen TV, know your variety of DVDs, no you can't take your designer shoes, everything you have you're gonna lose. No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Can't understand why you keep holding on, just cause you can't take it with you, no you can't take it with you, yes you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. Cause there's one thing that matters, when you're walking down that street, is the good and bad that you sent forth, in your book of deeds. So make sure that you're ready, to receive it in your right hand, and take your place among the righteous man. No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Ain't no point in trying to hold on, cause you can't take it with you, no you can't take it with you, yes you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. No you can't take it with you when you go, yes you can't take it with you when you go. Ain't no point in trying to hold on, cause you can't take it, you can't take it, you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. You plan to be richer, your stash should be bigger, but man get the picture, you can't take it with you. Your cell phones, headphones, flat screens, ringtones, big homes, gemstones, power from big loans. Collections of new shoes, connections of bluetooth, vacations where you cruise, the young ones go ooh. Your gold shopper robots will go watch and whatnot, your CDs of hip hop, your laptops, just stop and let go. When you die, say bye bye, what is best is inside, fill the scale up with deeds, so you're best when you're part. Put the wealth in your hand, take it out of your heart, give thanks for the wealth that your lord will bestow, but know that you can't take it with you when you go. No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Can't understand why you keep holding on, just cause you can't take it, oh you can't take it, you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go. No you can't take it with you when you go, oh no you can't take it with you when you go. Ain't no point in trying to hold on, just cause you can't take it, oh you can't take it, no you can't take it with you when you go, oh when you go.
