Life

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

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?

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

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

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?

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

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

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
