Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know, I've been around the world and
Aye, aye, aye
I've met a lot of people
And what I've come to find out is that
People are the same
They all share the same fears
Share the same tears
And die over the years
So, I'm just gon' be thankful to get what I got
And hold onto what I have
Can you dig that?
And what I do, I do for the benefit of me and my kids
Dig that (Talk to me)
[Verse 2]
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 3]
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 4]
It's something kind of funny
How the man take your money
Be sure as he can be
In such a way you'll never see
[Verse 5]
It's a terrible thing inside
When your natural high has died
But we can't turn to dope
(We can't turn to dope)
And put all aside the hope
(Sing the song, sing it now)
[Verse 6]
I'm so glad I've got my own
(Yeah, I've got my own now)
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 7]
I'm so glad I've got my own
(I'm glad that)
So glad that I can see (Yeah)
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 8]
Twinkling tinkling braids
We do all sorts of things (Yeah)
While you're in a modest place
(Uh, think about it now)
Your conscious is only peace
(Yeah that's what I'm talkin' about)
[Verse 9]
Yeah
I had to make peace with myself, you know what I mean?
(I know what you mean)
I been gettin' high for the what? last past fifteen, twenty years?
So I told myself I wanna know what it feels like
To be high off of life
And I mean, man, I tell you
It feels real good
[Verse 10]
You know, coaching your lil' kids out there on the football field
Doing my thug thizzle still, but you know
Just bein' high for life is a different feelin'
You should try it my brother
I'm tellin' you, it's a great feelin'
Can you dig that? (I can dig)
[Verse 11]
More and more you grieve
(Sing the song, nephew)
Until you grow another need (Yeah)
Your claim is fantasy (Yeah)
You'll have no reality
[Verse 12]
I'm so glad I've got my own (Yeah)
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 13]
I'm so glad I've got my own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 14]
Darling, take a listen
(Uh, take a listen now)
This may be something that your missin'
(Yeah)
I know your times are funky
(You know it baby)
But you don't have to be no junkie
(Yeah, shake it off, shake it off)
[Verse 15]
Just be glad you've got your own
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 16]
I'm so glad I've got my own (So glad, baby)
So glad that I can see
My life's a natural high
The man can't put no thang on me
[Verse 17]
I'm sure it's funky
(I'm sure it's funky)
I'm sure it's funky
