Discover the story of the song > Keep What Ya Got – Ian Brown

The song talks about how the protagonist used to think that heaven was far away but now he feels like he can almost touch it. The chorus repeats the phrase "keep what ya got, by giving it all away" which means that he should hold onto what he has by being generous. In the bridge, the song suggests that no one will notice if the protagonist doesn't fit in or gets along with his neighbor, but he should still keep singing and believing in himself.
