Teddy been working
Working on a building
And he's totally committed
‘Cuz way down in it
He's a hardcore believer
A genuine receiver and no
Ordinary dreamer
His feet are planted on the rock
God don't give you nothing
You can't handle
God don't give you nothing
You can't get through
Bad news come raining
But Teddy ain't complaining
Though his body is breaking
His spirit knows
With every peg he's driving
Those walls keep rising
Yes, his hands are surely guided
It was the right foundation that he chose
God don't give you nothing
That you can't handle
God don't give you nothing
You can't get through
When the storms of life come blowing
Hold tight to your candle
God don't give you nothing
You can't use
Don't you trifle with those doubters and deceivers
What you need is one hardcore believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
God don't give you nothing
You can't handle
God don't give you nothing
You can't get through
When the storms of life come blowing
Hold tight to your candle
God don't give you nothing
You can't use
God don't give you nothing
You can't use
