Just like a birdie
I just wanna fly free
And own...
a piece of land
Somewhere, somewhere
Off in the country
Oh... ah, yeah, listen
Temperatures
like a hundred degrees
like I got chains on me
Black male
in a family of three
been robbed
of my destiny
Where can I fly away
cause it's to much
for the man
Shouldn't gone
down this way
what happened
to my master plan
Cause I can't figure out
I coulda been
a love child
Shouldn't gone
down this way
Tell me how did I get life
Oh... talk to me
Oh... how did I get life
Tell me, oh...
Oh, somebody done
done me wrong
done me wrong
eyes to the ceiling
all night long
Time keep slippin'
away from me
And it ain't no tellin'
when I get home
Just about to see
the dollar signs
that close
to a piece of mind
Everything was
about to be fine
Tell me how did I get life
Ooh... tell me, yeah
I wanna know, now, now
And you know
and you know
and you know, oh
Everything, evrything
That I hoped for
Is it gone now
Buried in the ground
Hopes and dream
And all those things
I will never never, see
Sombody gave me life
Yeah, yeah
Yes they did, hey...
Hey... yeah, ah, yeah
Ooh... ooh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause life
Somebody gave me life
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say it again
say it again, yeah
