Neneh Cherry - I Ain't Gone Under Yet lyrics

I'm just another voice from the street

And since it's my choice, I feel that I must speak

Now I know that you won't listen to little me

But I can't rest unless I get this off my chest

See--

The city's my home the streets where I roam--but still I leave the drugs and violence alone

And so I try to stay in the right frame of mind

Although I know some people who might say that I'm

Crazy and lazy for not breakin' out

But the city has soul and that's what I'm about

I have an appetite that must be fed

No longer blind and being led

The of freedom that you can buy

My bank won't lend me yet

But still I can get by--and even smile

So don't judge me by the colour of my skin

My blood runs as deep as your runs red

Which takes me out of the rap

The choice is mine

With my joy and pain inside

And I ain't gone under yet!

See bodies with souls living in the street

No one wants to live with nothing to eat

But to climb over livign people and fee that they brought in on themselves cause they lazy or would rather steal is a mystery--

So don't judge me by the colour of my skin

My blood runs as deep as your runs red

Which takes me out of the verse

The choice is mine

With my joy and pain inside

And I ain't gone under yet!

Your under is my over I've never seen your over yet

But don't forget

I ain't gone under yet!

I ain't gone under yet!

I ain't gone under yet!

I ain't gone under yet!

I don't steal I don't run tricks or scams

Cause I'm a strong young woman yes I know who I am

But sometimes it's so hard to get by

Touch circumstatnces make me want to get high

But I don't go too far cause that ain't my style

So why don't you come live next to me for a while.
