Use What You Got

When you're a hustler there is one thing you should know
You have to 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 what you want
Before what you got is gone
You gotta reach for that ring
While 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 what you got (use)
To get what you want (to get what you want)
Before you ain't got no more (no more, 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 (Wednesday you're new)
Thursday you're through (Thursday you're through)
It happens sooner than you know (it happens sooner than you know)
That gravy train gets mighty slow (that gravy train gets mighty slow)
So as I told you (a moment ago)

You gotta think number one (number one)
Be loyal to none (none)
If you want your sun to shine
You gotta pick up a knack (pick a knack)
To stab in the back (the back)
As long as the back ain't mine

You gotta use every friend
As a means to an end
Ain't that what a friend is for?

You gotta use what you got use
To get what you want (to get what you want)
So take my advice
From this moment on
Remember to use what you got (remember to use what you got)
To get everything that you want (to get everything that you want)
Before what you got

Use what you got, to get what you want
Use what you got, to get what you want
Before what you got (before what you got is gone)
What you got is gone
