JODECI - Life lyrics

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)
