[Verso 1]
I've gotten down to my last pair of shoes
Can't even win a nickel bet
[Coro]
Because, ah them that's got are them that gets
And i ain't got nothing yet
[Verso 2]
I'm sneaking in and out ducking my landlord
All i seem to do is stay in debt
[Coro]
Because, ah them that's got (yeah) are them that gets
And i tell you all i ain't got nothing yet
[Verso 3]
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
[Coro]
Because they manage to get
When only them that's got supposed to get
And i ain't got nothing yet
[Verso 3]
[Coro]
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
[Conclusi�n]
[Spoken]
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
