[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
Can’t start a fire without a flame
Can’t play the part without a game
Can’t feel the love without the pain
Can’t talk to me if you talk the same

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
When you’re burned out baby you gotta come down
Thought you had it figured out
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado]
Can’t have a drink without a well
Can’t fall asleep without a spell
Can’t feel the wind without a kite
Can’t pack your bags without a knife

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
When you’re burned out baby you gotta come down
Thought you had it figured out
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing

[Verse 3: Nas]
Ayo Tom Ford shades on, Cuervo and a shot glass
Fly eyes, pretty smile, plus she got class
Imma show you a lil something
But here’s the preview
When I speak, sparks fly like grinding metal, I’m lethal
She's hot like liquid metal in T2
Whether flats or stiletto, red carpet or ghetto
Baby I’m Nasty Nas I just had to meet you
Let’s wash that back with a glass of screaming eagle
Painting pictures, writing my illest rhymes on a easel
Ladies on checking asking when Imma see you
Miami penthouse suite crazy with the sea view
Still keep it hood like the streets I used to creep through
QB

[Chorus x4: Nelly Furtado]
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
Baby I could give you something
I know how to make something out of nothing

[Outro: Nelly Furtado]
Something, something...

Nelly Furtado

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
