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
No, 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
No, 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
Oh, 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, no, you can't take it, no
You can't take it with you when you go
Oh, when you go
You claim to be richer, you say I 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
You go shop for robots or roll wash 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, what your best bring your 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
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it with you when you go
Oh, when you go
