Give It Away Lyrics By Red Hot Chili Peppers

    oh oh

    what i got you got to give it to your mamma
    what i got you’ve got to give it to your pappa
    what i got you got to give it to your daughter
    you do a little dance and then you drink a little water
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    reeling with the feeling don’t stop continue
    i realize i don’t want to be a miser
    confide with sly you’ll be the wiser
    young blood is the lovin’ upriser
    how come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser

    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    i can’t tell if i’m a kingpin or a pauper

    greedy little people in a sea of distress
    keep your more to receive your less
    unimpressed by material excess
    love is free love me say hell yes
    low brow but i rock a little know how
    no time for the piggies or the hoosegow
    get smart get down with the pow wow
    never been a better time than right now
    bob marley poet and a prophet
    bob marley taught me how to off it
    bob marley walkin’ like he talk it
    goodness me can’t you see i’m gonna cough it

    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    oh oh yeah
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    i can’t tell if i’m a kingpin or a pauper

    backwards

    lucky me swimming in my ability
    dancing down on life with agility
    come and drink it up from my fertility
    blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility
    my mom i love her ’cause she love me
    long gone are the times when she scrub me
    feelin’ good my brother gonna hug me
    drink my juice young love chugalug me
    ah there’s a river born to be a giver
    keep you warm won’t let you shiver
    his heart is a never gonna wither
    come on everybody time to deliver

    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    i can’t tell if i’m a kingpin or a pauper

    what i got you got to give it to your mamma
    what i got you’ve got to give it to your pappa
    what i got you got to give it to your daughter
    you do a little dance and then you drink a little water
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    what i got you got to get it put it in you
    reeling with the feeling don’t stop continue
    i realize i don’t want to be a miser
    confide with sly you’ll be the wiser
    young blood is the lovin’ upriser
    how come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser

    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now
    give it away give it away give it away now

    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
    give it away now
