Just like a birdie I just wanna fly free And own a piece of land Somewhere, somewhere off in the country Oh, oh yeah, listen
Temperature's like a hundred degrees Like I got chains on me Blackmail and a family of three Been right on my destiny Rake it out fly way Cuz it's too much for the man Shouldn'ta gone down this way What happened to my master plan Cuz I can't figure out I coulda been a love child Shouldn'ta gone down this way Tell me, how did I get life?
[1] - Life, life Life, life Life, life Life, life
Oh, somebody done 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 sign, thats close to a piece of mind and everything was about to be fine So tell me, so how'd I get life?
[Repeat 1]
Everything that 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)
