[Verse 1]
What I got, you got to give it to your mamma
What I got, you got to give it to your pappa
What I got, you gotta give it to your daughter
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 gotta get it, put it in you
What I got, you got to get it, put it in you
Reelin' with the feelin', don't stop, continue
Realize I don't wanna 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?
[Chorus]
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, I'm a kingpin or a pauper
[Verse 2]
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 it smart, get it down with the power
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?
[Chorus]
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! Ah, 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, I'm a kingpin or a pauper
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Look at me swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
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'd scrub me
Feelin' good, my brother gonna hug me
Drinkin' my juice, young love chug-a-lug me
There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm, won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on, everybody, time to deliver
[Chorus]
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!) Ah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
What I got, you got to give it to your mamma
What I got, you gotta give it to your pappa
What I got, you got to give it to your daughter
Do a little dance, then you drink a little water
What I got, you gotta get it, put it in you
What I got, you gotta get it, put it in you
What I got, you gotta get it, put it in
Reelin' with the feelin', don't stop, continue
Realize I don't wanna 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?
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Just give it away
Oh, give it away
Just give it away
Oh, give it away
[Interlude]
Heard somebody say
You got to give it away
Somebody say, you got to, oh
[Instrumental]
[Spoken: John Frusciante]
We love you so much
Thank you so much fo-for coming
We love you, goodnight
