Keep What Ya Got
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will we see?
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 a drag
Keep what yer got by giving it all away
Keep what yer got by giving it all away
Keep what yer got, hold it don't stop
Keep what yer got, by giving it all away
When your halo slips for good you'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear on all the cynics
And you mimic all you losers all abusers wasting all my precious
energy
Keep what yer got by giving it all away
Keep what yer got by giving it all away
Keep what yer got, hold it don't stop
Keep what yer got, by giving it all away
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 agony then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothing's ever getting in your way
Even as you cradle on but don't think you'll be long
No-ones gonna notice if yer never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbour, yeah you don't quite get
along
No-ones gonna notice if your singing anyway
Those not coming with with the few well then they gotta pay
