The Life: Use What You Got

4 views

Lyrics

When you're a hustler there is one thing you should know
 You have to hustle every day
 When you're a hustler there's no time to take it slow
 Gather ye suckers while ye may
 Monday you're hot
 Tuesday you're not
 And that's the reason why they say
 You gotta use what got
 To get what you want
 Before what you got is gone
 You gotta reach for that ring
 While you're on that ride
 How long does that ride go on?
 You gotta learn every dance
 Return every glance
 While you have the chance to score
 You gotta use what you got (use)
 To get what you want (to get what you want)
 Before you ain't got no more (no more, no more)
 Your clock starts running on the day that you are born
 It just keeps tick-tick-ticking on
 ♪
 There's only so much time to blow your little horn
 Before your time has come and gone
 ♪
 Wednesday you're new (Wednesday you're new)
 Thursday you're through (Thursday you're through)
 It happens sooner than you know (it happens sooner than you know)
 That gravy train gets mighty slow (that gravy train gets mighty slow)
 So as I told you (a moment ago)
 You gotta think number one (number one)
 Be loyal to none (none)
 If you want your sun to shine
 You gotta pick up a knack (pick a knack)
 To stab in the back (the back)
 As long as the back ain't mine
 You gotta use every friend
 As a means to an end
 Ain't that what a friend is for?
 You gotta use what you got use
 To get what you want (to get what you want)
 So take my advice
 From this moment on
 Remember to use what you got (remember to use what you got)
 To get everything that you want (to get everything that you want)
 Before what you got
 Use what you got, to get what you want
 Use what you got, to get what you want
 Before what you got (before what you got is gone)
 What you got is gone
