Early in the mornin', risin' to the street Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong Got to find a reason why my money's all gone I got a dalmatian and I can still get high I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot Well, life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static, I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example, take a tip from me Take all of your money, give it all to charity Love is what I got, it's within my reach And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve Try and test that, you're bound to get served Love's what I got, don't start a riot You'll feel it when the dance gets hot Lovin' is what I got, I said, remember that Lovin' is what I got, now remember that Lovin' is what I got, I said, remember that Lovin' is what I got, I got, I got, I got Why I don't cry when my dog runs away I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me Lovin' is what I got, I said, remember that Lovin' is what I got, and remember that Lovin' is what I got, I said, remember that Lovin' is what I got, I got, I got I got

A faixa “What I Got” chegou ao topo da lista Modern Rock Tracks, alcançando a posição #1 no Billboard.
Depois da morte de Bradley Nowell, a canção se tornou o maior hit de rádio da banda, permanecendo na rotação atual de muitas estações.
O solo de guitarra, executado por Michael “Miguel” Happoldt, fundador da Skunk Records, contribui para a assinatura sonora que fez a faixa ser classificada #83 na lista das 100 maiores músicas de guitarra da Rolling Stone.
“What I Got” foi incluído no filme *Fun with Dick and Jane*, ampliando sua exposição além das rádios e das playlists de música.
A composição contém amostras textuais de “Too Short” de *Life Is… Too Short* e de uma citação de Richard Pryor, além de uma frase retirada de “Nappy Heads” dos Fugees, demonstrando a mistura de influências hip‑hop e rap no rock da época.
A faixa foi regravada por Michael Franti & Spearhead em parceria com Gift of Gab no álbum tributo *Look at All the Love We Found*, evidenciando seu legado em outras gerações de músicos.
