Keep What Ya Got lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 seem ajar

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear on
All the cynics, I'm ya mimic
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Remember where you came from
Sister, she told ya on a rainy day
It's said that heaven holds a place
For all of those who pray
And if you don't believe in mighty
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothing's
Ever getting in your way
Even as you cradle on
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice
If you're never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbour
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice
If you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free
Will learn they gotta pay
