Nina Simone - Ain't Got No/I Got Life

Ain't Got No / I Got Life

 

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no work, ain't got no job
Ain't got no money, no place to stay
Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children
Ain't got no sisters or brothers
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no faith
Ain't got no church, ain't got no God
Ain't got no love

Ain't got no why, no cigarettes
No clothes, no country
No class, no schooling
No friends, no nothing
Ain't got no God

Ain't got no earth, no water
No food, no home
I said I ain't got no clothes,no job
No nothing
Ain't got ...
And I ain't got no love

Oh, but what have I got?
Oh, what have I got?
Let me tell you what I got
And nobody's gonna take away
Unless I wanna

I got my hair, on my head
My brains, my ears
My eyes, my nose
And my mouth, I got my smile

My tongue, my chin
My neck, my boobs
My heart, my soul
And my back
I got my sex

I got my arms, my hands
My fingers, my legs
My feet, my toes
And my liver
Got my blood

I got life, I've got lives
I've got headaches, and toothaches,
And bad times too like you

I got my hair, my head
My brains, my ears
My eyes, my nose and my mouth
I got my smile and it's my smile

I got my tongue, my chin
My neck and my boobs
My heart, my soul
And my back
I got my sex

I got my arms, my hands
My fingers, my legs
My feet, my toes
Got my liver
Got my blood

I got life, I got my freedom
I've got life
