Keep What Ya Got
[Verse 1]
Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will receive
Today, now you're at the wheel
I'll ask, how does it feel?
Yesterday when heaven's gates
I contemplate, they seem so far
Today they ain't so far away
And almost seem a drag
[Chorus]
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
[Verse 2]
When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear on
All you cynics, I'm ya mimic
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy
[Chorus]
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
[Bridge]
Remember where you came from
Sister, she told ya on a rainy day
It's said that heaven holds a place
For all of those who pray
And if ya don't believe in mighty
Then ya don't care anyway
Nobody or nothing's ever getting in your way
Even as you cradle on but don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you're never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbour, yeah, ya don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay
