Take Some - Leave Some |
| Can’t be greedy |
| (Ahh yeah) |
| Give me some |
| I need some dust |
| The cage is bust |
| You can’t have it all |
| Do you know where I’m coming from? |
| You can’t be greedy |
| You gotta take some… and leave some |
| I never been a cat |
| Who wanted it all |
| I’m so glad |
| I’m not that kind of guy |
| But the pantry is big enough for everyone |
| You gotta take some… and leave some |
| (Babe! Whooh!) |
| (Take it all) |
| You take it all (Look here) |
| So I (Uh!) |
| I’m not that kind of a guy |
| And I just want |
| A piece of the pie |
| I hope you know where I’m coming from |
| You gotta take some… then leave some |
| Life can be so good |
| Life can be so sweet |
| Eatin' with you (Uh!) |
| Can be so sweet |
| Don’t give me the liquor |
| Gotta take some meat |
| (All my! Whooh!) |
| All my life |
| I dreamed of |
| A decent life |
| Good food, warm bed |
| Suit and Clothes (Ah) |
| Shoes and clothes |
| All my life |
| I dreamed of good food |
| A good lovin' |
| Shoes 'n clothes |
| (Do it) |
| (Can't ya? Can’t ya? A man need help! Can’t ya?) |
| (Heeey!) |
| Here I come (Uh!) |
| Tell the politician |
| The hustlers |
| Live and let live (Hey! Heey!) |
| Tell the politicians |
| And the hustlers |
| Live and let live |
| You know where I’m coming from |
| Just take some… and leave some |
| I don’t want it all |
| I just want a little bit |
| I don’t want it all, good God, take me! |
| I just want a little bit |
| You gotta take some… leave some |
| Don’t take the cake ah! |
| So many people on the take ah! |
| (Heeeeeehoowoo) |
| I feel so good |
| Disgusted |
| I want to scream! |
| (Hiiiiwhooo! Hooo!) |
| (No, no!) |
| All my life I dreamed of |
| A descent life |
| Good food |
| A warm bed |
| Shoes 'n clothes |
| I need shoes 'n clothes |
| I need it |
| I need it |
| I need shoes 'n clothes |
| I need it (Hey!) |
| I need it, good God, give it! |
| I need it |
| See my friend over there |
| He need it |
| The cats on the corner everywhere (Ah!) |
| They need it |
| They need jobs, they need it (Uh! Ahh! Uh! Ahh! Uh! Ah!) |
