Them that's got shall get 
Them that's not shall lose 
So the Bible says and it still is news 
Mama may have, Papa may have 

But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own 

Yes the strong get smart 
While the weak ones fail 
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade 
Mama may have, Papa may have 
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own 

Money, you've got lots of friends 
They're crowding around your door 
But when you're gone and spending ends 
They don't come no more 
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such 
You can help yourself, but don't take too much 
Mama may have, Papa may have 
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own 

Money you've got lots of friends 
They're crowding around your door 
But when you're gone and spending ends 
They don't come no more 
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such 
You can help yourself, but don't take too much 
Mama may have, Papa may have 
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own 

Here just don't worry about nothing cause he's got his own 
Yes, he's got his own
