Life

Just like a birdie, I just wanna fly free

(So high, so high)

And own a piece of land

Somewhere, somewhere off in a country

Oh, oh, yeah, listen, yeah

Temperature's like a hundred degrees

Like I got chains on me

Black male and a family of three

Been right on my destiny

Reckon I'll fly away

'Cause it's too much for the man

Shouldn't a-gone down this way

What happened to my master plan?

'Cause I can't figure out

I coulda been a loved child

Shouldn't a-gone down this way

Tell me, how did I get life?

(Life, life) Oh, yeah (Life, life) talk to me

(Life, life, life, life) Oh, how did I get life?

(Life, life) Tell me, yeah (Life, life) oh, yeah

(Life, life, life, life) Oh, yeah

Oh, somebody done done me wrong

Done me wrong (Done me wrong)

My eyes to the ceiling all night long

All night long

Time is slippin' away from me

(Away from me) And it ain't no tellin' when I get home

I gotta get home, yeah

Just about to see the dollar signs

That close to a piece of mine

Everything was about to be fine

(About to be fine) So tell me, so how did I get life?

(Life, life) Ooh, oh (Life, life)

(Life, life, life, life) Tell me, yeah, I wanna know now

(Life, life, life, life) You know, you know, you know, you know

(Life, life, life, life) Everything

(Everything) Everything (I hope for) that I hoped for

(Is gone now) Is gone now (Buried in the ground) Buried in the ground

(Hopes and dreams) My hopes and dreams

(And all those things) And all those things

(I'll never see) I will never, never see

(Said, I'll never see) Somebody gave me life

(Life, life) Yeah, yeah (Life, life) Yes, they did
