lyrics
I ain’t got home
ain’t got shoes
ain’t got money
ain’t got class
ain’t got skirt
ain’t got sweater
ain’t got perfume
ain’t got bed
ain’t got mind
I ain’t got mutha
ain’t got culture
ain’t got friends
ain’t got schooling
ain’t got love
ain’t got name
ain’t got ticket
ain’t got token
ain’t got god
So what have I got?
Why am i alive anyway?
Yeah what have i got
that nobody can take away?
I 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 cheek
got my neck
got my boobies
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
i got my blood
I got life
I got my freedom
I got life
I got my life
and im going to live it.
I got my life
and ain’t nobody gonna take it away.
