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 Ill fly away Cause its too much for this man Shouldnt a gone down this way What happened to my masterplan Cause I cant figure out I could have been a love child Shouldnt 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 aint no tellin when Ill get home Gotta get home, yeah Just about to see the dollar sign Thats 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 Ill never see, said Ill never see Somebody gave me life Yeah yeah Yes they did Ooooooooooooooooh life (Chorus)
