Ian Brown - Keep What Ya Got

Unread post by PotatoFieldsForever »

I've got this song stuck in my head and since there are interesting details in this video, I thought I would share it. (4:33)


When he says that heaven's gates are not far away:

In the second verse that starts with "when your halo slips for good", I spotted twice the word "hell" in the background

The lyrics are also intriguing in particular the end part.
Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will receive
Today, now you're at the wheel
I'll ask, how does it feel?

Yesterday when heaven's gates
I contemplate, they seem so far
Today they ain't so far away
And almost seem a drag

[Chorus]
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away

[Verse 2]
When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear on
All you cynics, I'm ya mimic
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy

[Chorus]
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by giving it all away

[Bridge]
Remember where you came from
Sister, she told ya on a rainy day
It's said that heaven holds a place
For all of those who pray
And if ya don't believe in mighty
Then ya don't care anyway
Nobody or nothing's ever getting in your way
Even as you cradle on but don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you're never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbour, yeah, ya don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay

"Remember where you came from" and at 3:11 he's pointing up

There are in front of the door number eleven at the end of the song, also they flipped the image for some reason

There is more but I'm not sure of what it means.

The end could be "free, well" and not "free will", it would match the chorus.
