What I love is how this is a Ray Charles song, and when you think of literal translation versus actual meaning. "I ain't seen nothing yet." I think from Ray's point of view it was just trying to say that generally, it's the rich who get richer and the poor who get poorer, and God knows when he's gonna get his fill. Somehow, he's gonna have to manage to get what them that got are supposed to get, but so far, he ain't seen nothing yet.

It's true, though. You gotta get something before you can get something, but how in hell do you get it in the first place?
