Jill Scott God Bless the Child song lyrics

Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose

So the Bible says and it still is news

Mama may have and papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own

Yes, the strong get more while the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't ever seem to make the grade

Mama may have, yes, and papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own

Tell it like it is, Jill

When you've got money, you've got a lot of friends

Always hanging round the door

When you're money's gone and the spending ends

They just don't come around any more

Rich relations give, crust of bread and such

You can help yourself but don't take too much

Mama may have and papa he may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own

That's got, that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own

That's got his own, that's got his own
