Billy Preston - Nothing from nothing 1975
William Everett Preston (September 2, 1946 -- June 6, 2006) was an American soul musician from Houston, Texas, raised mostly in Los Angeles, California.

Lyrics:
... nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me

I'm not tryin' to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr
I'm not tryin' to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
And I'm not stuffin'
Believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya
I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am

(Instrumental)

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me

You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
You gotta bring me somethin' girl
If you wanna be with me

I think this is the same song they play continuously on the Muzak speakers at the Federal Reserve.

"English Mutha Fucka do you speak it?!"

[krkraz]

Bad attitude for the computer, people. You virus attackers; listen: "the war on poverty".

[Sykoze]

You misinterpreted my comment, friend. I wasn't saying that those guitarists can eat a dick, or have no talent. I'm saying that lot of modern artists definitely have talent, and anybody who disagrees is an idiot.

Reggie Watts you so crazy.

[Joe Buck]

Search "Wattstax Bar Kays" on youtube to see a fab silver version of the wig ;)

[Joe Buck]

Saw him taking about it in an interview ;)  70's was the wig decade, wig was probably made for a woman and Billy saw it and thought, "That wig is for me" ;)

[Joe Mangano]

[ChubDahBastard]

Dis is crazy I can't believe this guy is my real blood uncle??? Really! My fathers father brother! I knew I was a Preston but???

[mattlawson714]

i couldnt agree more. forget so-called 'virtuoso' guitar playing... it isn't music. and im a guitar player, with great appreciation for guitar players... but those guys can't write a song half as catchy as this, and basically, everyone knows it. they whip their fingers around like madment.... but at the end of the day, it isn't music. i always think how miles davis would have hated their shit

[Supa Man]

Number!
