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
Temperature like a hundred degrees
Like I got chains on me
Black male and a family of 3
Been robbed of my destiny
Reckon I'll fly away
Cause it's too much for this man
Shouldn't 'a gone down this way
What happened to my masterplan
Cause I can't figure out
I could have been a love child
Shouldn't 'a gone down this way
Tell me, how did I get life
Chorus:
Life life
Life life
Life life
Life life
(repeat)
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'll get home
Gotta get home, yeah
Just about to see the dollar sign
That's close to a peace of mind
And everything was about to be fine
So tell me
So how did I get life
Life life
Life life
Life life
Life life
(repeat)
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
Yeah yeah
Yes they did
Ooooooooooooooooh life
[Chorus:]
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 Temperature like a hundred degrees Like I got chains on me Black male and a family of 3 Been robbed of my destiny Reckon I'll fly away Cause it's too much for this man Shouldn't 'a gone down this way What happened to my masterplan Cause I can't figure out I could have been a love child Shouldn't 'a gone down this way Tell me, how did I get life Chorus: Life life Life life Life life Life life (repeat) 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'll get home Gotta get home, yeah Just about to see the dollar sign That's close to a peace of mind And everything was about to be fine So tell me So how did I get life Life life Life life Life life Life life (repeat) 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 Yeah yeah Yes they did Ooooooooooooooooh life [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
