What I Got Lyrics

Early in the mornin'
Risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
A reason things went wrong
Got to find the reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation
And I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a motherfucking riot

Life is (too short)
So love the one you got
Because you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my (chest)
Never had to battle with no bulletproof (vest)
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money and give it up to charity
Lovin's what I got, it's within my reach
(And the Sublime style is still straight from Long Beach)
It all comes back to you
You're bound to get what you deserve
Try and test that
You're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, and remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I got, I got

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot
Hits that bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuck it, fight it, it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin'
It's what I got
I said remember that
Lovin'
It's what I got
I said remember that
Lovin'
It's what I got
I said remember that
Lovin'
It's what I got
I said remember that

this is possibly the greatest song ever written by sublime, it is my favorite of thiers and i have all of the sublime cd's. who ever "jakester7603" is should seriously rethink the music they listen to because as we all know sublime is the best band ever!

i got a dalmatian... sadly, his name isn't louie... i was too little to know about sublime back then and named him beethoven... the one regret in my short life

This song has a real deep meaning for me..

A while ago, I was depressed as hell(returning to slitting my wrist with whatever I could find), but one morning, I just turned this song on...and I realized that, even with all the shit that had been going on and bringing me down, I still had lovin..and that was what I got. ^^;; I went 3 days without slitting my wrist, so it was an improvement!
