Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just like a birdie, I just wanna fly free
And own a piece of land
Somewhere, somewhere off in a country
Oh, oh yeah, listen
[Verse 2]
Temperatures like a hundred degrees
Like I got chains on me
Black male in a family of three
Been robbed of my destiny
Where can I fly away?
'Cause it's too much for the man
Shouldn't have gone done this way
What happened to my master plan?
'Cause I can't figure out
I could've been a love child
Shouldn't have gone done this way
Tell me, how did I get life?
[Verse 3]
Life, life (Oh yeah)
Life, life (Talk to me)
Life life (Oh)
Life, life
How did I get life?
Life, life (Tell me, yeah)
Life, life (Oh yeah)
Life, life (Oh yeah)
Life, life
[Verse 4]
Oh, somebody done, done me wrong
Done me wrong
My eyes to the ceiling all night long
Time is slipping away from me
And it ain't no telling when I get home
I gotta get home, yeah
[Verse 5]
Just about to see the dollar signs
That close to a peace of mind
Everything was about to be fine
So, tell me, so how did I get life?
[Verse 6]
Life, life (Ooh)
Life, life
Life, life (Tell me)
Life, life
I wanna know now
Life, life (Now)
Life, life (Wanna know)
Life, life (Know, know)
Life, life
[Verse 7]
Everything I hoped for
Is gone now
Buried in the ground
Hopes and dreams
And all those things
I'll never see
Said, I'll never see
Somebody gave me life
[Verse 8]
Life, life (Yeah, yeah)
Life, life (Yes, they did)
Life, life (Yeah)
Life, life (Yeah, yeah)
Life, life (Oh yeah)
Life, life (Oh)
Life, life (Whoa)
Life, life (Oh)
(Oh life) Life, life
(Somebody gave me life) Life, life
Life, life (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Life, life
Say it again, say it again, yeah
Life, life (Away, yeah)
Life, life (Ooh)
Life, life, life, life
