Songtexte: Ian Brown. Keep What Ya Got.
:
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 see my train
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
When your halo slips for good,
You'll have to wear your hood
Could you feel the breeze of fear
On all the cynics, I'm ya mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy
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
Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place
For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in my dream
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever getting in your way
Even as you break the law
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right no wrong
And if you and your next neighbour
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you see me anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay
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 see my train
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
When your halo slips for good,
You'll have to wear your hood
Could you feel the breeze of fear
On all the cynics, I'm ya mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy
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
Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place
For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in my dream
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever getting in your way
Even as you break the law
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right no wrong
And if you and your next neighbour
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you see me anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay
