Life soundtrack – Use What You Got lyrics

When you're a hustler
There is one thing you should know
You gotta hustle every day
When you're a hustler
There's no time to take it slow
Gather ye suckers while ye may
Monday you're hot
Tuesday you're not
And that's the reason why they say...
You gotta use what got
To get whatcha want
Before whatcha got is gone
You gotta reach for that ring
When you're on that ride
How long does that ride go on?
You gotta learn every dance
Return every glance
While you have the chance to score
You gotta use whatcha got
To get whatcha want
Before you ain't got no more
Your clock starts running
On the day that you are born
It just keeps tick-tick-ticking on
There's only so much time to
Blow your little horn
Before your time has come
And gone
Wednesday you're new
Thursday you're through
It happens sooner than you know
That gravy train gets mighty slow
So as I told you a long time ago
You gotta use what got
To get whatcha want
Before whatcha got is gone
You got to reach for that ring
When you're on that ride
How long does that ride go on?
You gotta learn every dance
Return every glance
While you have the chance to score
You gotta use whatcha got
To get whatcha want
So take my advice
From this moment on
Remember to use whatcha got
To get e-ver-y-thing that you want
Before whatcha got is gone
