Life - K-Ci & JoJo, Proffit

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?

— 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?

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)
