Musical Tribute to the Olympics movie - Use What I Got lyrics

rate me

Woke up this morning<br>

Had a crazy dream<br>

Got married in a black dress<br>

What the hell's that mean<br>

There was a faceless lady<br>

Telling me who to be<br>

What to wear<br>

How to act<br>

And you know that just ain't me<br>

Jumped outta my bed<br>

Pulled up the blinds<br>

What a way to wake up<br>

Lord knows that was a sign<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

Ooo, yeah it's coming back<br>

I put my train back on it's track<br>

Stop my engine<br>

Blow my steam<br>

Gonna use what I got to get what I need<br>

Just want something real<br>

That I know I can feel<br>

Get down to the deeper me<br>

Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah<br>

<br>

Yeah, yeah, yeah...<br>

<br>

For 43 days<br>

I've been in a funk<br>

For 42 nights<br>

My ship been sunk (yeah)<br>

These Brooklyn graves<br>

And Manhattan blues<br>

Mix them together<br>

That's the color of paying your dues<br>

Sometimes the sun<br>

Shines just enough<br>

To get you through the hard times<br>

And you know I had a lot<br>

I said...<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

And oh, what I need<br>

Is something for my soul to feed<br>

And I won't take my breath away<br>

I owe it to myself<br>

Not to waste another day, yeah<br>

<br>

Oh, hey, oh, yeah, oh, ooo, yeah, yeah...<br>

<br>

Oh, yeah it's coming back<br>

I put my train back on it's track<br>

I just want something real<br>

That I know I can feel<br>

<br>

Oh yeah, yeah...<br>

<br>

Oh, yeah it's coming back<br>

I put my train back on it's track (stop my engine, blow my steam)<br>

I'm going to use what I got to get what I need<br>

Just want something real<br>

That I know I can feel<br>

Get down to the deeper me<br>

Gonna use what I got to get what I need, oh yeah...<br>

[Chorus in background]<br>

<br>

Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah [x2]<br>
