[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said, it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
[Verse 2]
Well, the strong get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't quite make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
[Bridge]
Money, you got lots of friends
Crowding round your door
But when you're done, the spending ends
They don't come no more
[Verse 3]
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
Don't you take too much
Your mama may have, Your papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
[Outro]
Yeah, he's got his own
