|
Them that's got shall get |
|
Them that's not shall lose |
|
So the Bible said |
|
And it still is news |
|
Mama may have |
|
Papa may have |
|
But God bless the child |
|
That's got his own |
|
That's got his own |
|
Yes, the strong gets more |
|
While the weak ones fade |
|
Empty pockets |
|
Don't ever make the grade, no, no, no |
|
Mama may have |
|
Papa may have |
|
But God bless the child |
|
That's got his own |
|
That's got his own, yeah |
|
Money, then you've got lots of friends |
|
Crowding 'round your door |
|
And when the money's gone |
|
And you're big spending ends |
|
Oh, they don't come around no more |
|
No more, no more, no more |
|
Rich relations give |
|
A crust of bread and such |
|
Oh, you can help yourself |
|
But don't take too much |
|
Don't take it |
|
Mama may have, ooh |
|
Your daddy may have |
|
But God bless the child |
|
That's got his own |
|
That's got his own, yeah |
|
Oh, if you got that money, you've got plenty friends |
|
Crowding around your door |
|
But remember when money's gone |
|
And the spending ends |
|
Oh, they don't come around no more |
|
No more, no more, no more |
|
Rich relations give |
|
A crust of bread and such |
|
Oh, you can help yourself |
|
But don't you dare take too much |
|
Mama may have |
|
Ooh, daddy may have |
|
But God bless the child |
|
That's got his own |
|
That's got his own, yeah |
|
That's got it |
|
Them that's got shall get |
|
Them that's not shall lose |
|
That's what the |
|
Bible said |
|
And it still is news |
|
It's not your mother, your father |
|
Your sister or your brother |
|
It's up to you, up to you |
|
Brothers and sisters |
|
You gotta make it better |
|
It's up to you, nobody else |
|
You've gotta make it happen for yourself |
|
It may seem nothing |
