What I Got Lyrics

[00:02.14] Early in the morning, risin' to the street
[00:06.96] Light me up that cigarette, and I'll strap shoes on my feet
[00:11.00] Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
[00:15.97] Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
[00:21.18] I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
[00:25.91] I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot
[00:31.47] Well, life is too short, so love the one you got
[00:44.60] 'Cause you might get run over, or you might get shot
[00:47.65] Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
[00:50.05] Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
[00:50.95] Take a small example, take a tip from me
[00:55.57] Take all of your money, give it all to charity
[00:58.77] Love is what I got, it's within my reach
[01:00.15] And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
[01:02.87] It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve
[01:05.58] Try and test that, you're bound to get served
[01:07.99] Loves what I got, don't start a riot
[01:10.43] You'll feel it when the dance gets hot
[01:12.84] Lovin' is what I got
[01:17.78] I said, remember that
[01:18.86] Lovin' is what I got
[01:21.52] And remember that
[01:23.48] Lovin' is what I got
[01:35.03] I said, remember that
[01:36.46] Lovin' is what I got
[01:36.61] (I got, I got, I got)
[01:36.98] Why I don't cry when my dog runs away
[01:38.34] I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
[01:40.06] I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
[01:41.66] Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
[01:44.51] Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
[01:46.99] Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
[01:49.73] Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me
[01:57.33] Lovin' is what I got
[02:00.88] I said, remember that
[02:02.92] Lovin' is what I got
[02:06.24] And remember that
[02:08.14] Lovin' is what I got
[02:11.14] I said remember that
[02:13.39] Lovin' is what I got
[02:16.60] (I got, I got, I got)
[02:43.59] We're not that far off
[02:50.26] So, that's the
[02:51.37] See, but
[02:54.63] We're done, man
[03:01.14]
