I Ain`t Got No, I Got Life (Live at 1969 Harlem Festival)
Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes Ain't got no money, ain't got no class Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin' Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job Ain't got no money, no place to stay
Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother Ain't got no children, ain't got no sister or brother Ain't got no earth, ain't got no water Ain't got no church, ain't got no God Ain't got no love
Ain’t got no wine, no cigarettes No clothes, no country No class, no schooling No friends, no nothing A’int no god, a’int got one more
Ain’t got no earth, no water no food, no home I said I ain’t got no clothes, no job No nothing, ain’t got long to live And I ain’t got no love
But what have I got What have I got Let me tell you what I’ve got That nobody’s gonna take away Unless I wanna
I’ve got my hair on my head My brains, my ears My eyes, my nose And my mouth, I got my smile I got my tongue, my chin My neck, my boobies My heart, my soul And my back, I got my sex
I got my arms, my hands, my fingers, My legs, my feet, my TOEs, And my liver, got my blood
I got life, I’ve got laughs, I’ve got headaches, And toothaches and bad times too like you
I got my hair on my head My brains, my ears My eyes, my nose And my mouth, I got my smile and it’s my smile I got my tongue, my chin My neck, and my boobies My heart, my soul And my back, I got my sex
I got my arms, my hands, my fingers, My legs, my feet, my TOEs, And my liver, got my blood
I got life, I’ve got my freedom And my heart I got life
