I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
|
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
|
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater
|
Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed
|
Ain't got no mind
|
|
Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
|
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
|
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
|
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
|
Ain't got no God
|
|
And what have I got?
|
Why am I alive anyway?
|
Yeah, what have I got
|
Nobody can take away?
|
|
Got my hair, got my head
|
Got my brains, got my ears
|
Got my eyes, got my nose
|
Got my mouth, I got my smile
|
I got my tongue, got my chin
|
Got my neck, got my boobs
|
Got my heart, got my soul
|
Got my back, I got my sex
|
|
I got my arms, got my hands
|
Got my fingers, got my legs
|
Got my feet, got my toes
|
Got my liver, got my blood
|
|
I've got life, I've got my freedom
|
I've got the life
|
|
I've got the life
|
And I'm gonna keep it
|
I've got the life
|
And nobody's gonna take it away
|
I've got the life
|
