It's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it
There ounce was a man who ran after all the women he bit off more than he could he could chew so he split some say he had a mastermind but the way he used his head he almost had to do some time
It's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it
Take me for example I weight one hundred forty-five pounds I wear a mean piece of leather and I'm well put together thanks to god I know I'm blessed happy as can be and who knows I'll have company
It's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it it's now that you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got
Use it use it use it use it
It's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it it's not what you got its how you use it use it use it
