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 you gotta have something

Before you can get something

How do you 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

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

Is something I can't see

If you gotta have something

Before you can get something

How do you 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

Oh, when only them that's got supposed to get

And I ain't got nothing yet

Woah, 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 nickel or a dime for a cup of coffee

I need a hamburger, in fact a hot dog wouldn't be too bad

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