Jimmy Cliff - Use What I Got Lyrics

I'm gonna use what I got
To get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got, use all I got
To get what I need, yeah

Look, I was born in a little old shack
Didn't have enough to eat
Not enough clothes on my back

Lord, knows I kept the faith
A heart full of woe
Now they're trying to get me
At the end of my road

Use what I got
To get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got use all I got
To get what I need, yeah

The rich is content
While the poor do without
If you ask for some herb
They don't know what you're talkin' about

All say the answer
As if they're on the wind
It changes sometimes
That why I'm afraid I've gotta

Use what I got to get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got, use all I got
To get what I need, yeah

The road of life can be mighty steep
When you're broke, busted and disgusted
For you ain't got nowhere to sleep

I'm gonna find me a woman to stand by my side
'Cause I'm so tired of runnin'
Can't find no place to hide

I'm gonna use what I got
To get what I need
I'm gonna use what I got, use all I got
To get what I need, yeah

You know that I got to
Said I've got to
You gotta use it
Use it all up now
