What I Got Lyrics

Yeah
Early in the morning
I rise up to the street
Got me that cigarette
And I scratch shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason
A reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason
Why my money's all gone
I got a damnation
I can still get high
I can pay this guitar like a mother truck ride dick

Life is two shots of love
The one you got
Cuz you might give it up
Or you might get shot
Never stop static
I gotta skin it out of my chest
Never had to battle when you pull it up best
Taking small steps
Take all your money give it to charity
Love's what it got
Its what you reach

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
