Lyric 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 nothin yet

I m sneakin in and out duckin 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 nothin yet

That old sayin them that s got are them that gets
Is somethin I can t see
If ya gotta have somethin
Before you can get somethin
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 nothin yet

That old sayin them that s got are them that gets
Is somethin I can t see
If ya gotta have somethin
Before you can get somethin
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 nothin yet

Whoah, I tell you all
I ain t found nothing yet.

(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
