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

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

You can't take it with you when you go

Oh, when you go, no you can't take your big screen TV, nor 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 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 of men.

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, oh, you can't take it.

You can't take it with you when you go, oh, when you go.

Here we go.

You plan to be richer, your stash to 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, a road 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, say your 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, oh, can't understand why you keep holding on, oh, 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
