Everything I Own
Masta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
The lyrics of "Everything I Own" by Masta expresses strong sentiments of love, appreciation, and loss. The song talks about the deep bond between two people and how the love that they share is so valuable that they would give up everything to have it back once again. The first verse is an expression of gratitude towards the person who sheltered and protected the singer from harm.

In the second verse, the singer speaks about how the person they lost taught them how to love without saying too much. The person showed them the way by their actions, and watching them was enough to learn how to love.
