[Intro]
Am7
[Verse]
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to give it to your mama
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to give it to your pappa
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to give it to your daughter
You Amdo a little dance and Cthen you drink a little water
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to get it put it in you
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to get it put it in you
AmWhat I've got you've Cgot to get it put it in you
AmReeling with the feeling Cdon't stop continue
AmRealize CI don't want to be a miser
AmConfide Cwith sly you'll be the wiser
AmYoung blood Cis the lovin' upriser
AmHow come everybody Cwant to keep it like the kaiser
[Chorus]
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmI can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper
[Verse]
AmGreedy little people Cin a sea of distress
AmKeep your more Cto receive your less
AmUnimpressed Cby material excess
AmLove is free Clove me say hell yes
AmLow brow Cbut I rock a little know how
AmNo time Cfor the piggies or the hoosegow
AmGet smart Cget down with the pow wow
AmNever been a better Ctime than right now
AmBob MarCley poet and a prophet
AmBob MarCley taught me how to off it
AmBob MarCley walkin' like he talk it
AmGoodness me Ccan't you see I'm gonna cough it
[Chorus]
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmGive it away give it away give it away now
AmOh, oh yeah

Lucky Amme swimmin' in Cmy ability
Dancin' Amdown on life Cwith agility
Come and Amdrink it up from Cmy fertility
AmBlessed with a bucket Cof lucky mobility
AmMy mom CI love her 'cause she love me
AmLong gone Care the times when she scrub me
AmFeelin' good Cmy brother gonna hug me
AmDrink my juice Cyoung love chug-a-lug me
AmThere's a river Cborn to be a giver
AmKeep you warm Cwon't let you shiver
AmHis heart Cis never gonna wither
AmCome on everybody Ctime to deliver
