Them That Got

I've gotten down to my last pair of shoes

Can't even win a nickel bet






Because, ah them that's got are them that gets

And i ain't got nothing yet






I'm sneaking in and out ducking my landlord

All i seem to do is stay in debt






Because, ah them that's got (yeah) are them that gets

And i tell you all i ain't got nothing yet






That old saying them that's got are them that gets

Is something i can't see

If ya gotta have something

Before you can get something

How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me

I see folk with long cars and fine clothes

That's why they're called the smarter set






Because they manage to get

When only them that's got supposed to get

And i ain't got nothing yet











Because they manage to get

When only them that's got supposed to get

And i ain't got nothing yet

Whoah, i tell you all

I ain't found nothing yet









You know i just don't understand it

I can't seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee

I need a hamburg- in fact a hot dog wouldn't be too bad

I would just be grateful if i could get my hands on most anything
