Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall give
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news, oh
Mama may have, mm, and papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
That's got his own
[Verse 2]
Yes, the strong get more while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever seem make the grade
Mama may have, and papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
(That's got his own) That's got his own
[Verse 3]
Tell it like it is, Jill
When you got money (Mhmm)
You've got a lot of friends
Always hanging 'round the door
When you're money's gone
And the spending ends
They just don't come around anymore
Rich relations give crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
[Verse 4]
Mamma may have, and papa he may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own, that's got his own
That's got his own, that's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
