Give it Away Now

"Give it Away Now"

What Ive got youve got to give it to your mamma
What Ive got youve got to give it to your pappa
What Ive got youve got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling dont stop continue
Realize I dont want to be a miser
Confide wisely youll 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 cant tell iff Im a king pin 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
Im a 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 how to off it
Bob marley walkin like he talk it
Goodness me cant you see Im 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
Ooh... ooh 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 cant tell iff Im a king pin or a pauper
Lucky me swimmin in my ability
Dancin 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 lone chug-a-lug me
Theres a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm wont let you shiver
His heart is 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 cant tell iff Im a king pin or a pauper
What Ive got youve got to give it to your mamma
What Ive got youve got to give it to your pappa
What Ive got youve got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
What Ive got youve got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling dont stop continue
Realize I dont want to be a miser
Confide wisely youll 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

In the song "Give it Away Now" the Red Hot Chili Peppers many metaphors are used to show that the singer is living his life the way he wants to live it and that others should do the same. One metaphor used is "lucky me swimming in my ability." This is a metaphor because it compares his method of using all his abilities to the fullest to swimming because when you swim in something you are able to spread out. Another metaphor used says, "dancing down on life with agility." This is a metaphor because it compares the way he is living life to dancing because he is enjoying it and going through it fast. "Give it Away Now" properly uses metaphors to emphasizes the points it is trying to make.
